Legal and ethical sheet

Legal and Ethical

What does ‘copyright,’ mean?
 Copyright is a form of protection given to the creators of original content or products so that others wouldn't be able to steal the idea and profit off of it.

Give three examples of different things which you might include in your video and could be subject to copyright:
Music, Pictures and Video

List two websites that give copyright free music:
 www.royaltyfreetunes.co.uk music4yourvids.co.uk

List a website where you can find free or low fee photographs:
 www.copyrightfreephotos.com


Explain what a location release form and why is it needed for filming?
 Location release form is a type of permission given to you by higher authority so you could rent a place, so to speak. So if you want to film in a mansion or anything of that manner, you would need a location release form to get permission to film there.



What is a contributor release form and why is it required?
 Contributor release form allows random people to contribute in filming if they want to, it is important so that after the filming is done the people being filmed wouldn't be able to sue the filming company for recording them without permission.
