Release Forms
Producers must get all their contributors (i.e. the young people who appear or are involved in the project) to sign release forms which allows the material they produce to be used in the finished film. It vests the rights in the producer/production company, who are then in a position to share those, either with the group and/or with First Light and the UK Film Council.
A Basic Release Form
I understand and agree that:
1) The film crew from XXXXX filmed me for a film entitled XXXXX.
2) Although they filmed me, I may not be in the final film when it is edited.
3) All the videotape with me on it belongs to XXXXX.
4) XXXXX can use the recording of me in their film called XXXXX in any form or media which can be shown in the UK, Europe or anywhere in the world.
