Guide to Copyright Workshop

For further information, including testimonials, please click here to visit our new site.

In this workshop we endeavour to teach independent filmmakers the main principles of copyright law, equipping them with enough knowledge to confidently use archive footage.

While you can study copyright law for years, and make a rewarding career out of arguing the finer points in a court of law, we believe that in one session we can teach everything you really need to know, as a lay person, to avoid unnecessary expenses or getting sued.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

- Principles of copyright law

- Creative commons

- What permissions you need to get and how to get them

- What you can use without paying

- Using online material

- How to identify copyright owners

- How to access archives

- Using music

- Licences, contracts and costs

- How to make money from your copyrights
