Copyright and Permissions For Footage

Due to me not having access to certain people and equipment, I have considered using stock footage instead of getting the footage myself. For this, I sourced a clip from YouTube which is used in various different videos about Sunderland. I researched copyright and fair use policies. This was as follows:

"Several exceptions allow copyright works to be used for educational purposes, such as:

the copying of works in any medium as long as the use is solely to illustrate a point, it is not done for commercial purposes, it is accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgement, and the use is fair dealing. This means minor uses, such as displaying a meme, are permitted, but uses which would undermine sales of teaching materials are not
performing, playing or showing copyright works in a school, university or other educational establishment for educational purposes. However, it only applies if the audience is limited to teachers, pupils and others directly connected with the activities of the establishment. "

The copyright policy states that the copying of the video can be used: 
(1) to solely illustrate a point - to which mine is to show content creators and create humor.
(2) is accompanied by sufficient acknowledgement- to which I will include credit to the creator at the end credits. 
(3) It is fair dealing- I am only using around 10 seconds of the clip and it is for educational purposes, making it fair dealing in the eyes of courts. 

Therefore, I believe I would legally be allowed to use this footage in my documentary. This is as long as I give credit to the creator and I only use a small portion of the video. 
  
The gov website also states:

allowing copying of works in any medium as long as the following conditions apply:

  1. the work must be used solely to illustrate a point

  2. the use of the work must not be for commercial purposes

  3. the use must be fair dealing

  4. it must be accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgement.

I believe I am within my legal boundaries to use this footage, it is also not being used for commercial purposes.

Research - Level 3 Technical Codes

Image
So, I have decided to research into technical codes, because it helps me grasp a better understanding of technical skill. By researching into different shot angles I am also developing my understanding of cinematography. Technical Codes CAMERA TERMINOLOGY Birds Eye View shot – a shot taken directly from above something, looking down on it (as though the camera was a bird flying over the scene). Canted Angle – A shot which is tilted to one side.  This is often used to create a feeling of disorientation, anxiety or chaos. Close up (and variations)  : close ups, including extreme, big and medium close ups, are used to draw the viewer closer and to involve them in what is happening; they also used to observe reactions and emotions, such is happiness, elation or tension.  These shots are often used to help the audience feel sympathy for that character or side with them.  Alternatively, a series of close ups / extreme close-ups often make the audience feel quite claustrop...

Research - My Audience Research and Audience Profile

  My Audience Psychographics, Demographics and Social Grade Psychographics : My audience is most likely to mixture of mainstreamers and suceeders. This is because these are the types of people who are most likely to watch my product. Suceeders who want to create content, and mainstreamers who are interested in Sunderland and what's going on. The creators may be influenced by what I make and may feel inspired to make their own documentary. A lot of creators like to be unique so learning about what content creation is like in their local area may help them to integrate their local identity into their creations. I think the realistic educational feel will appeal to mainstreamers because I think they will be interested to learn about content creation in the local area. Although content creation might not be popular amongst mainstreamers, they still watch and consume content so they could still be interested to see what life is like for their favourite creators. Mainstreamers are the mo...
