Copyright and Fair Use

Fair use is when you take a copyrighted work, and use a small part of it as a piece of your creation. When following fair use, there are certain rules that you need to follow, such as only using a small portion of the copyrighted work. In film production, copy right and fair use are huge laws that need to be followed. In class, every single rule of fair use must be considered when using someone else's work. If you want to use a clip from a movie for a project, you are only allowed to use a very small part of the movie you're using. Before using the clip however, make sure to check with Mr. Furtado before making your final decision. Even though fair use is a thing, it doesn't mean that everything thats copyrighted can be used.
