Why you need to pay a deposit
In the shooting project, the deposit is to ensure the safety of the equipment and prevent the breach of contract. For example, when renting photographic equipment, the deposit can ensure that the equipment is in good condition when it is returned; when signing a shooting contract, the deposit can be used as a guarantee for the performance of the contract. Through specific cases, we can see the importance of deposit in the shooting process. For example, a film and television production company in a large location shooting, due to the accidental damage of a rented high-end camera, resulting in compensation costs as high as hundreds of thousands of yuan. Due to the sufficient deposit paid in advance, the company was able to quickly solve the problem and continue to complete the shooting task.
