1.4 - Explain how regulations may affect the use of copyright materials


How do regulations affect the use of copyright materials?

When working in film production, it is important to be aware of the copyright legislation, because using materials that are copyrighted, is illegal, and cannot be used in your film production, unless you own or have gained the rights. By making sure that your production does not use any copyright materials, ensures that your production is within the rights of the law.

The Copyright and Patents Act 1988 gives the protection and original rights of use and distribution of the materials of the creator, until 70 years after their death, giving the creator original credit to their invention and compensation for the illegal use of their product .  It can be Literary, Musical, Art, published editions, Sound or film, and removes the right of others to use this material or idea in their own productions without consent.

the copyright law has been put in place to ensure that the original creator, receives full credit and recognition for their work, and their ideas and designs are not reused without their permission. By having this copyright law in place, the creator is assured that they can protect their designs, and be given official security that their creation cannot be reused without consent.
