Video Consent Form
A video consent form is the difference between a clean publish and an angry email from someone in the background of your event recording who now wants their face blurred out, retroactively, on a video that has 47,000 views. This template captures consent the right way: written, specific, signed, and stored.
The form covers what you'd expect (subject name, contact, project, recording date) and the parts most templates miss: the scope of consent (specific use vs broader, online vs broadcast, geographic territory, duration of use, revocability), parental consent for minors, and a release clause that distinguishes consent (permission to record) from release (permission to use and publish). The legal distinction matters; conflating them is where most DIY forms go sideways.
Send the form to your subjects before the shoot via a shareable Formester link, capture e-signatures on any device, and auto-store the signed PDF in your project file. For minors, add a conditional parental consent flow that triggers when the subject is under 18.
