I’ve done media management on 3 unscripted shows now, the last was a 3 year contract on a talk show. An earlier one I was embedded city subjects at sea for 4 months. I was a gaffer and key grip for a decade before that with occasional Cam Op gigs and did a bunch of one person crew unscripted content for clients along the way too. Often I end up doing the labor of 4 or 5 people while having 3 or more managers that just send emails. Any tips for protecting myself from this happening again?

If the agreement didn’t state the extra work and they are making you do it, then you have the right to ask for a raise. If not, you have the option to either ask for a raise or leave.

Ask for a contract that outlines the scope of your role/duties in specific details. That way, if things start getting out of hand, you'll have something to fall back on.

Seconding the above advice. Read your contract and refer to it when asked to do things that aren't included in the scope of work. I wwouldn't lea

...sorry, weird glitch cut me off and I can't figure out how to edit a comment. I wouldn't leave if they ask me to do something, just say 'thats not in my contract' and see what they do. Keep saying it if they push. They'll either let up and not hire you again (great) or do something stupid you can sue for.

I'm not a reporter, I'm just a citizen who took a picture during an event and uploaded it to my social media account. Turns out a digital media wrote me to have permission to use my picture, and when I said yes, they said they were looking for some other picture because I had already given permission to the competitors, which I didn't.
They just posted it without asking me, letting me know, or even mentioning my credits. Is this legal?
