RELEASE FORM
If you want to hire a contributor or use someone’s interview in your video or whatever happens.. You have to write a ‘RELEASE FORM’.
Example of real Release form
– BBC Children in Need
Release form(also Consent form) is kind of contract that will be written between employee and employer. We must write this form because there will be problem if we didn’t. For example, we take an interview of citizen and insert it in our video. But after we post the video, that citizen saw it and ask for delete it. If we write the form before, you can tell him / her that we can’t and use the form as proof.
There’s two things which are very important in release form.
- Mention the Copyrights are belong to your team
- and it WILL BE belong to us future
In upper release form from BBC, it says-
You assign to the BBC the copyright and all other rights in your child’s contributions for use in all media now known or which may be developed in future and you confirm that your child’s contributions will not infringe the copyright, or similar rights, of any third party. For the avoidance of doubt this can include publicity photographs taken on the day to be used for promotion of the show.
