1.16 Contributors
As well as needing a production team, you may also need other people to contribute to your project.
You might be able to acquire the services of actors, presenters or voice-over artists (referred to as talent ) to make your product look and sound more professional and might also include contributions from experts in the area that you are dealing with in your media production or the general public.
Remember that you will need to get permission from people who are featured or quoted in your media production and you should get them to sign a release and consent agreement form so that you have documentary evidence of their permission to be featured. You should also include a biography of the contributors in the supporting documentation that you produce.
Failure to get release forms means that a contributor could decide later that they don’t want to let you use their image and this could have a serious effect on the product- scenes could have to be reshot, faces could need to be blurred which might be a problem, key scenes might have to be removed. If you were making a film or TV programme this could also mean that your show or film would not be able to be broadcast or exhibited.
1. Explain what release forms are and what their purpose is? (By signing the form the contributor or talent gives you permission to use their image/voice/contribution how ever you want. Read the example form below- this should further explain to you what it is. )
2. Why can it cause problems if you don’t have them?
3. Identify and list who you will need to get release forms from
Key term
