Legal & Ethical

What does ‘copyright,’ mean?
Copyright refers to laws that regulate the use of the work of a creator, such as an artist or author. This includes copying, distributing, altering and displaying creative, literary and other types of work. Unless otherwise stated in a contract, the author or creator of a work retains the copyright.

Explain what a location release form and why is it needed for filming?
Permission includes the right to bring personnel and equipment onto the property and to remove them after completion of the work. When you wish to photograph, videotape or record property which you do not own. With a location release in hand, a filmmaker or production company has the permission needed to film on a specific property. Furthermore, the location release gives the filmmaker or production company ownership of any images of that property that appear in the footage.
What is a contributor release form and why is it required?
A Contributor release form is commenced between a contributor and a production studio, where the contributor grants his consent to use his contribution in the produced programme by accepting the certain official terms, these are very important otherwise you wont be able to show it to anyone.
