Info from Booking to Final Cut.
We hope this give you some clarity as to how we work. If you have further questions then please do not hesitate to ask!
-
All Showreel Packages involves the shoot itself and the edit. Anything else is considered ‘Extra’
-
* One Scene Package £280.00
* Two Scene Package £480.00
* Three Scene Package £580.00
* The Double Feature £300.00
-
An extra is our Writing Service and the hiring of another Actor. This is considered an extra fee on top of the package prices.
-
Please ensure you leave yourself enough time between booking and your shoot date so you can sufficiently prepare for your scene. If you want us to find you Actors, Locations or Write scenes for you then please ensure we have at least TWO WEEKS prior shooting date to source and create whatever you need.
-
* One Scene Package: £50.00 Deposit
* Two Scene Package: £75.00 Deposit
* Three Scene Package: £100.00 Deposit
* The Double Feature £50.00 Deposit
-
The deposit is non refundable. The deposit is deducted from final invoice.
-
The deposit paid is only valid for one date. If you want to change your filming date after paying the deposit then it will involve paying another to book a change of date meaning you’ll lose your original deposit paid for original date.
-
The remaining amount must be paid on or before your shoot date. If the outstanding amount isn’t paid before the shoot then we won’t be able to start filming.
-
Absolutely! You can bring a script with you. The script must be a maximum of 1.5 pages long and set in one space as standard.
-
Definitely. We offer a writing service.
-
It costs £50 per scene (2 pages / 2-3 minutes long)
-
Once you are booked in and we have received your booking deposit.
-
First, we send you a questionnaire in order to get as much information as we can get from you. Your answers will become our point of reference when developing your scene. If you don’t have a clear idea of what kind of scene you would like to be written, don’t worry. This being the case, we may get in touch and pitch a few ideas to you. Once we have heard back from you, we will start developing your scene.
-
Each scene will be set in one space as standard. You may feel that your scene requires more than one space on location, this is fine, however, we need to allow extra time for the technical team to set up/ move the equipment into a different section on location, so extra charges apply to extra spaces in scenes which are £40 each. (e.g Outside shots of a house+ front room inside house + then in a car outside the house = 2x extra spaces = £80)
-
Once the script is ready, an invoice will be sent to you for the writing service. Once payment is made, we will send you the completed script.
-
Absolutely, but please send us updated versions so we and your actors can prepare properly.
-
We can provide you with a BASIC LOCATION that is based in Kent near Rochester (a house, quiet street, park)
-
Yes, we can travel to you as long as you’re in or just outside London.
-
A basic location is anything with a domestic setting. E.g A house, a flat, a quiet street near home or quiet park.
-
Yes but this will be up to you to source. If you wish to use a location such as a bar, pub, office…etc then you will have to source and provide us with address as least 3 days before shoot.
-
No. If a location you’ve found involves a hiring fee(s) then Role Film Showreels is not responsible for the costs. You will have to pay for any location hiring you may want.
-
Yes, absolutely. It’s a great way for you to save money.
-
Role Film Showreels has a list of professional actors we can provide for you. It is £30 to hire an Actor (£30 per actor) Which is paid from you and directly to them on the shoot day. This fee does not go to Role Film Showreels?
-
Yes. We will send you and everyone involved a CallSheet with a schedule included for the shoot date, along with the address, times and our contact details for emergencies.
-
On the day, we meet on location and we set up the equipment. Then, we rehearse and discuss the scene, block it and shoot it.
-
One Sene Showreel Shoot (one location in one space) is usual 3hrs long, Two Scene Showreel Shoot (one location in one space per scene) is usually 6hrs, Three Scene Showreel Shoot (one location in one space per scene) is usually 8hrs long and The Double Feature Shoot (one location in one space per scene) is usually 6hrs.
-
Yes, Please do keep an hour free after scheduled shoot just in case we run slightly over.
-
The turnaround for your completed edited scene(s) takes between 1-2 weeks to get back to you. We will send you a PREVIEW of the scene for you to see and once we’ve heard from you we’ll then send you your final cuts via WeTransfer.
-
A PREVIEW is your scene(s) put together and edited ready for you to see. Once you’ve seen it and you’re happy we then send you your final cut(s)
-
We offer one set of Minor Tweaks which you can send us for free. So any *minor tweaks to the PREVIEW
-
Minor Tweaks means exchanging a take with another take. Not adding, removing or rearranging shots. This does not include direction suggestions, editing suggestions or any other Significant Changes.
-
Significant Changes- request that transform to the plot, subplot, content, characters, intentions, look, style, actions, colour grading, sound, sound effects or anything that contradicts requests from the original questionnaire or decisions made that contradicts what Role Film Showreels and you made on the Showreel Shoot Date. These changes are not possible.
-
All packages include ONE version of the scene(s) after any tweaks required.
