Field of Jack Roast | Commission & Payment Policy
Commission & Payment Policy - Field of Jack
Introduction
Field of Jack films are commissioned creative works produced specifically for the individuals and occasions involved.
Because each film is developed uniquely through a structured storytelling process, commissions follow a clear production and payment structure outlined below.
These guidelines help ensure that the commissioning process remains smooth, respectful, and transparent.
Booking a Commission
A commission begins once:
- the project scope has been agreed, and
- the initial booking payment has been received.
This booking payment secures a production slot and allows narrative development to begin.
Payment Structure
Most commissions follow a two-stage payment structure:
1. Booking Payment
An initial payment is required to begin narrative development and secure production time.
2. Final Balance
The remaining balance is due prior to delivery of the completed film.
Specific payment arrangements may vary depending on the scope of the commission.
Custom Creative Work
Field of Jack films are bespoke narrative works created specifically for the subject of the commission.
Because of this:
- commissions cannot be returned
- completed films cannot be exchanged
- creative work cannot be reversed once production has begun
This reflects the nature of commissioned creative services rather than standard retail purchases.
Cancellation Policy
If a commission is cancelled before narrative development begins, the booking payment may be refundable.
Once narrative development or production has started, refunds are generally not available due to the time and creative work already invested in the project.
Narrative Frameworks
Field of Jack films are developed using structured narrative frameworks.
These frameworks provide the storytelling foundation for each film while allowing personal details and anecdotes to shape the tone and character of the piece.
The structure of the narrative is therefore guided by the studio rather than developed as an open-ended screenplay.
Refinements and Adjustments
Each commission includes one structured refinement round following delivery of the preview version.
This stage allows for adjustments such as:
- minor wording changes
- pacing refinements
- factual corrections
- small tonal adjustments
Additional revisions beyond this stage may require additional time or fees depending on the scope of the request.
Delivery
Completed films are delivered digitally in formats suitable for sharing or presentation.
Depending on the commission, optional enhancements or artefacts may accompany the final film.
Respectful Storytelling
Field of Jack films aim to balance humour, storytelling, and affection.
The studio takes care to ensure that the tone of each film remains respectful toward the individuals involved.
Commissioners are encouraged to communicate any sensitivities or boundaries during the enquiry stage.
Questions
If you have questions about the commissioning process or payment structure, the studio will be happy to clarify details before a commission begins.
