Critical theory: Micro essay on copyright issues

The dictionary definition of copyright: The exclusive legal right, given to an originator or an assignee to print, publish, perform, film, or record literary, artistic work, whether printed, audio, video, etc.


Copyrighting issues will affect the way my group and I can work with our film in the following ways:

1. We will have to use an original soundtrack and not use any music created by anyone else, unless it is not copyrighted. This may be difficult as it means creating a piece of music by ourselves, which fits well with our film
2. We will also have to create our own sound effects using foleying - this might prove to be really difficult to do as we are not experienced with this
3. We aren't allowed to use any borrowed sound unless it's playing from TV, radio, etc.
