Stock Footage Debate

From the beginning of our idea, we really wanted to be able to use some stock footage from the actual riots. We found a really good video of David Cameron's speech on the riots on Youtube - the full video can be seen below. We found this video multiple times on Youtube and none of them had any obvious copyright issues connected to the video.


We cut up a bit of the speech (around 7 seconds or so) and put it in the news report section of our short film and edited it a bit with layers on top of it to make it seem part of a news report. We then had a discussion with Marion and Andy about whether we were allowed to do this. We decided in the end that it would be okay as it was edited, it fitted in well and we didn't use too much of it.

    I have spoken to Marion about this and its fine for you to use it. You have until the 18th to get the film edited before we start the ancillary products. Dont forget to get some audience feedback. Why not use your Twitter feed and Facebook a roughcut of the film on FB or your blog?
