A Production Agreement is a specific type of Service Agreement whereby one entity, the production services provider (or producer), contracts to produce an art or media project for the client. Production Agreements can be between large entities, like two big companies, or they can be individual-to-individual (in other words, a small client hiring a small producer).
Production Agreements tend to include provisions that allow specificity to develop around the relationship. For example, the project that the two parties will be working on is described, but so are any required specifications (i.e. for movies, the type of film it needs to be shot on, or specific sound software that music needs to be mixed on). The Production Agreement will also contain the more business-oriented provisions required, like the payment structure.
