Please note this guidance should be read in conjunct= ion with any guidance and regulations provided by your academic department.=
There are a wide range of issues to consider before making a video, part= icularly one that will be uploaded to a public video sharing websites such = as YouTube or Vimeo or hosted on the LSE website. Video sharing websites wi= ll require you to agree by their terms of use and have guidance about the u= se of copyright material, for example see the copyri= ght advice available from YouTube.
In general it is recommended that you produce an original piece of video= where you have authored the script and shot and edited the footage yoursel= f. The following advice and guidance should be read BEFORE you embark on an= y video production work.
You should always check with your academic department to see whether you= are required to enter into any kind of agreement prior to making your vide= o, or to see what conditions might apply to your project in addition to the= School=E2=80=99s various rules and regulations on student behaviour.
If your video is going to include any people, even if they are your frie= nds, you should always obtain their permission before making a recording. T= hey qualify for moral and performance rights, so in professional video and = film productions contracts are always signed with the performers. This is p= robably not necessary for student-made videos, however it is good practice = to obtain permission from all the performers before you start your project.=
You should not film an individual or an event such as a theatre performa= nce or a lecture without prior permission. For example you should not film = an LSE lecture or public event without the permission of the speaker and th= e organisers. You should also make sure you have permission from the releva= nt authorities if you are filming in publicly accessible privately owned sp= aces, such as a shopping centre, museum or library.
Third party content is material that has been created by another person = or organisation, and to which you do not own copyright. It may be pos= sible to include very small amounts of a copyright work in your video if it= is covered by one of the legal exceptions to copyright. These allow limite= d use of copyright works without the permission of the copyright holder. Fu= rther details can be found on the Government = website. If relying on an exception, you also need to make sure that yo= ur use falls within what UK law calls =E2=80=98fair dealing=E2=80=99. If your use is not covered by a l= egal exception, then you will need to seek written permission to use it fro= m the Copyright owner/s. See CopyrightUser for guidance on securing permission.
If you wish to use copyrighted music in your video, you will need to con= sider whether your use would be covered by a legal exception, or approach t= he copyright holder/s for permission to use their work.
If you wish to use music in your video you are strongly advised to consi= der using copyright-free (or royalty free) music. Some musicians and artist= s choose to share their material under a Creative Commons licence, which me= ans you can use it provided you abide by the terms and conditions of this l= icence. A listing of music licensed under Creative Commons is available fro= m their website.
Royalty free music is available from a number of sites, including Incompetech.
Images such as paintings or photographs should not be included without p= ermission. Architectural works such as buildings and sculptures on public d= isplay (not in a gallery) may be included in your video. If you are searchi= ng for still or moving images to use in your video then try the Creative Commons Search which can help locate images and other types = of media that artists are willing to share.
Subject to any prior agreement being put in place between you and the Sc= hool, and even if the work is produced for part of your coursework at LSE, = you own the copyright in the video that you produce, not LSE. You should no= t include the LSE logo in your video production or give any suggestion that= LSE endorses or has produced your video in any way. You may include a stat= ement that the video was produced as part of your studies at LSE.
LSE Library and LSE=E2=80=99s = Copyright Officer may be able to offer further advice. If you are unsur= e about any copyright issues then do ask for advice before making your vide= o.
