Naturally, all production companies undertaking a film shoot will have one or more insurances to cover all the risks of the production in its different stages. Many companies and institutions related to the world of film require proof of insurance before granting permits or services.
Liability insurance
It covers all possible damages that production staff may cause to third parties. It can be taken out with a local or foreign company, but must always be in force from the start of production until the end of post-production work.
Insurance of recorded material
It covers damage or loss to film negatives during filming, handling, storage and transport. Production companies can also take out other types of insurance to protect the different resources used in a project, such as sets, wardrobe, animals, cameras, etc.
The contracting of these insurances is a complex issue that varies according to the magnitude and individual characteristics of each production, which is why it is advisable to arrange them with companies that are used to working with the audiovisual industry.
