Copyright information and research

Sound:
You can use sound as long as it isn't more than 30 seconds, you can use audio but you cant cut them out
Two Licences need to be used to have publish voice-recording
If any sound is copyrighted from some-one else's work your Wi-Fi is taken off
You must contact people/the person the music is if it isn't your own

Licensing music:
You must ask permission to upload music
music has been out online you must ask for permission
For the YouTube description  box you must reference to where you got the clip from, the clip must stay clear

Additional content:
You cant use still images for advert uses/commercial uses
You must include original name in work aswell as ask permission of models to use
If the content has been over 70 years you can use it
Only use content/still images for research
If anything has the copyright symbol you need to ask for permission(little c)

Anything that is used/appeared in your film must be cleared
Copyright expires 70 years after the death of the creator
From the BBC Filmmakers website, someone asked if " one of the characters in my film is watching TV. Is it ok to use real footage on the screen?"
Answer: It isn't, copyright will exist in the TV footage. Your first step is to find out who owns the copyright. Do the producer/director of the work own the rights or have they assigned them to a production company? You will need clearance before using the footage unless you can prove that the footage is Identical, e.g. if the footage is simply shown in the background of the shot
You can do a voice over using peoples footage but whatever is being said has to be completely different form the original

That is what I have learnt today throughout the lesson. I have learnt all about copyright for relevant information when I come to do my short film to see what I can and what I can't use.

  1. Good research with some confusion (copyright can be a confusing topic). The key thing is if you want to use something, like a song or a film clip, and you don't own it, you must ask the owners permission.
