LO2 Copyright/Release and Consent Forms/Legal and Ethical

Copyright- 
Copyright- this is the protection of intellectual property i.e. certain things such as photographs, clips, videos or YOUR ideas can not be used without your permission.

Gaining permission for any content that is not yours.

Release and Consent Form-
A release and consent form is for anyone who is going to be in your production i.e. this form gives you permission to release the work in any way you see fit.

The form contains/consists of their name, what the photographs are going to be used in/for (what they are signing/giving permission for), the photographer and the models signature will also be included.

The release and consent form is not only for people but also certain building i.e. private properties or properties that are considered a historical landmark.

Reasons why you might be stopped while taking pictures 

  • One thing that may stop you from taking photograph is when there are children about; this may stop you from taking pictures as it’s a very grey area in which you don't know how people will react or what they will do.
  • Another thing that may stop you from taking photograph in public is a telephoto lens as you can take photos of people without their knowledge so it’s not permitted; you are only allowed to use a telephoto in an open area.
  • While taking pictures in public areas you need to be careful of what you take as if you take pictures of logos and brands you may represent them in the wrong way therefore breaking the copyright law.

Legal and Ethical
You need to be careful of how you represent people or things as if you represent them in a way that they don't like they could sue you/ or you could be breaking the copyright law.
  • People
  • Children
  • Parents 
  • Cultures
  • Religion 
  • Companies/brands and logos 
  • Ethnicity 
  • Disabilities 

Defamatory- if you represent someone/thing in a way that is not true by accident.
