Legal and Ethical

What does ‘copyright,’ mean?

This a legal right that one has over their document, this being an author composer, playwright, publisher, musical, dramatic, artistic and more. It’s a right granted by the state of law to that individual that protects them from getting their creation stolen or adapted.

2: Pictures of Johnny Vaughn in the capital recording studio
3: Song on the footage

Explain what a location release form and why is it needed for filming?

This is an agreement between the person in charge of the property/location and the person wanting to use this. It is important, as a location cannot be used unless it has been given permission for. It also protects the owner, as in it ensures that they are compensated for if anything is to get damaged.



What is a contributor release form and why is it required?

This is permit that must be obtained for ones film/music video/production to be released. Without it, it will not be published. One is also very unlikely to be authorised to enter the Film National Competition without the contributor release form.
