1. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR MUSIC VIDEO
1. False Statements
As with any form of advertising, false or deceptive statements are not only morally questionable but
may be illegal as well.
There are no forms of advertising in our video. We filmed in a location away from billboards and
posters.
2. Photos & Video Licensing
Where a photo or video clip is not owned exclusively by a client, a license or release must be
properly obtained for its inclusion in a video. Clients often are under the false impression that they
own a photo which in reality was only licensed at one time for a specific use elsewhere.
We did not use another 3rd party’s footage we only used our own footage and shot It ourselves so we
do not need a license.
3. Music Licensing
No, we cannot use a U2 song in your promotional video unless you are prepared to pay some hefty
licensing fees! Even if a video is considered to be for ‘internal use’, it is still illegal for us to make a
copy of copyrighted material.
Send a facebook message to the artist asking for their permission to use their track.

2. 4. Logos and Trademarks
Care should be taken to avoid shots of any logos or trademarks, including product labels, street
advertisements, and license plates.
Although it may seem like a form of free advertising for the companies involved, even incidental
occurrences of logos and other trademarks on clothing and products are best avoided.
We had a lot of logos in our video and messed up which include, Sainsburys, Cineworld, Nandos,
Renault clio, Citi, Nine, Bella Italia, Chiquitos, Subway, Frankie and Bennies, LA fitness, pizza hut.
For this we went into each shop and explained what we was doing and that it was for our project and
they said that they were all happy with it.
5. Talent Release Forms
Anyone appearing on camera should sign a proper release form supplied by the production team,
whether being interviewed or appearing in the background of a shot.
We have asked people that were around the areas we were filming if it was ok to film and that they
would be in the shot and they said yes it is fine to get them in the film.
6. Location Release Forms
Typically filming would take place at a client’s office or within our own studio.
When this is not the case, a location release form will have to be signed by a manager or landlord
when filming on private property.
We have a signature for the house that we filmed in and then we just filmed the rest of the footage
outside.
