What is copyright?
When it comes to media products, copyright is the law that gives the producers of that media exclusive access to reproduce their work, distribute their work and display their work in public. Works that can be claimed by copyright and are of importance to me include "motion pictures", "sound recordings" and "pictorial works".
Why this is important to me?
Because I'm making a short film on little to no budget, the most important copyright is that protecting audio, therefore for music to be used in my short I will either need to create my own, use copyright free audio, or contact a copyright holder and ask for permission to use their music.
Copyright also matters as when I have produced my work, I will have full control over what becomes of it and the content within it and means that my work is prevented from theft.
