Weds 1: Getting the Rights Right
(Please login to register for this event)
Thinking about using archival or news footage in your documentary? Hoping you can that perfect song for a song? Wondering whether a TV or radio on in the background of your scene or a logo on a character's T-shirt is included under Fair Use? Looking for tips on how to negotiate rights with a composer or a clip house so you don't pay for more than you need? The next Wednesday One will answer all of these questions and more. "Getting the Rights Right" will give you a better understanding of when and how to get rights to use copyrighted material, how to determine if something is in the Public Domain, and understanding when you can claim Fair Use. If you plan to use any material in your projects which was not created by you, you should not miss this month's Wednesday One.
