The client agrees not to make any changes to the final deliverable without requesting written consent from Rows Films.

The final quality of the video depends on the quality of the shooting orchestrated by the client.

3. Service Packages and Shooting Time

At Rows Films, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored solutions to meet diverse client needs. The duration allocated for filming is determined by the chosen service package:

  • Socials Package (1mo): This package includes a maximum shooting time of 4 hours.

  • Custom Package : The maximum shooting time will be precised in the contract.

Please note that the actual shooting duration can be shorter if all necessary scenes are captured before the maximum time allocation is reached. Our primary goal is to ensure high-quality production, and once we've achieved the desired output, there might be no need to utilize the full allocated time. As such, sessions can conclude early if everything has been shot and there remains nothing further to film.



4. Location Specifications for Shooting

At Rows Films, the ambiance and setting of our shoots are integral to crafting the perfect narrative. To maintain the quality and integrity of our work, all our service packages are designed with the following location considerations:

Single Location Principle: Whether you're working with the Starter, Cinematic, or Elite Package, each shoot will be conducted at one designated location of your choice.

We appreciate our clients' understanding and cooperation in these matters, ensuring that every shoot is executed to the highest standards of excellence.
