Use this guide to prepare location, stage, crew, transport, rights, billing and delivery questions for a proposed Shanghai shoot. Agree the responsible people and project scope before confirming bookings.
Identify the relevant location owner, venue operator and authority for the proposed activity. A production-service contact or visitor-access route does not by itself establish filming permission.
Confirm the current contact details and application route with the responsible organization for the specific site and activity.
List the locations, equipment footprint, participants, public access and proposed activity for location scouting & permits. Agree who checks approvals, insurance and site conditions before booking.
If period streets or a controlled backlot are part of the brief, ask the operator about filming availability, set access, technical limits and booking terms for the actual dates.
Verify current operator contacts and the exact entrance, loading and access arrangements before travel.
Specify set dimensions, sound, power, camera and lighting needs. Check the proposed Shanghai camera rental package and equipment rental responsibilities, availability and substitutions before confirming a stage.
Check the current festival and market calendars for the actual shoot dates. Confirm whether relevant venues, crew or travel plans need additional holds or buffers.

Include the buyer details, required invoice type, currency, payment timetable and responsible supplier in the production coordination brief.
Agree crew engagement, working hours, overtime, rest, meals, transport and safety responsibilities for the specific project. Define the roles needed from the Shanghai video production crew and confirm who reviews the applicable terms before the schedule is locked.
List the participants, intended territories, channels and usage periods. Agree who obtains and retains the necessary participant permissions through the actor & model casting scope.
Identify the music, source assets, intended uses and rights holder. Agree clearance responsibilities, required records and audio deliverables with the post‑production service scope.
