Filming Rules

Always obey these rules when filming a video project.

  • Always carry your group clipboard and any applicable permits
    • Location permits – (See map below) a location permit is needed if you will be filming:
      • Inside a classroom or other indoor location (other than room 1)
      • In an outdoor location where students are not normally allowed to hang out (ie Football Field)
      • Right outside a classroom in such a way that you might disturb the class inside
    • The permit needs to be signed by the faculty/staff member in charge of that location.
    • Acting/Interview permits – An Interview Permit is needed if you will be filming:
      • A student who is not a member of this class period
      • A teacher or staff member
      • This permit is needed if the person you are filming has a specific part in the video whether they are interviewed or not. The permit is not needed for minor appearances such as a person walking through the background of your video.
    • The permit needs to be signed by the student’s teacher or the faculty/staff member being interviewed.
  • Hall Passes – Always have a hall pass when you leave the class. It must be visible and not put in a pocket.
  • Bathrooms are off limits – Do not film in them or toward them if the door is open
  • Film only those participating in your video
  • Throwing things or doing things that could cause possible damage or injury needs approval.
  • No Weapons/Drugs (even if it is not real, it needs prior specific permission)
