block;\"></p>\n<p>You arrive back at your apartment to find your door pried open and your camera, sound and lighting gear missing. You take out your phone and call your insurance broker to report the claim under the homeowners policy that you purchased. An adjuster is assigned. The claims adjuster does a web search and sees that you have credits on IMDB for various productions. Because you are hired with your gear as a part of your weekly rate, <em>your gear is now considered “commercial” equipment and as such, not covered by your homeowner’s insurance policy</em> which is intended to cover “personal” film gear that is not used for commercial purposes.</p>\n<!--more-->\n<p>You tell the adjuster that you only worked twice in the last 12 months on two low budget music videos and made less than $300. The adjuster shrugs, “It doesn’t matter, even if you shoot a birthday party for 60 minutes for $50, you are a professional and your gear is considered commercial and is no longer covered under a homeowners policy”.</p>\n<p>This is a difficult, pricey lesson that is better learned before there is a loss. Our experience tells us that many professionals assume they are covered by their homeowners insurance policy when in fact they are not.</p>\nIf you use your gear to make money, <em>check your insurance policy and make sure your coverage is appropriate.</em>\n<h1>We have created a 5-minute online insurance solution called DigiGear:</h1>\n<p><strong>Available at</strong>: <a href=\"https://digigearinsure.frontrowinsurance.com\">https://digigearinsure.frontrowinsurance.com</a></p>\n<p>The policy term is for 12 months and coverage is provided throughout Canada and the USA.</p>\n<p>All equipment is covered for replacement cost for: <a href=\"/articles/preventing-film-equipment-theft\" rel=\" noopener\">theft</a>, damage, fire and loss of use. Rental coverage is also available.</p>\n<h2>Industry-low film equipment insurance prices:</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>$10,000 equipment coverage: $80 plus a fee</li>\n<li>$2,000,000 location liability coverage: $500. Liability covers property damage and bodily injury to third parties. Pays legal fees, too</li>\n<li>$1,000 deductible for gear</li>\n</ul>\n<p>\"We wanted to make the insurance process easier, faster and cheaper for musicians,” said <a href=\"/staff/david-hamilton\" rel=\" noopener\">David Hamilton</a>, President of Front Row. “Given that an insurance company underwriter is not involved, the cost to process an <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">online film equipment insurance</span> policy is much less and we have passed the savings onto the gear owner. The savings is expected to be 30% compared to standard film equipment policies. Although the DigiGear policy is online, we are still available to answer questions <a href=\"/contact-us\" rel=\" noopener\">by email or over the phone</a> if required.”</p>"},"deleted_at":1604599246425,"id":"post_body","label":"Blog Content","name":"post_body","type":"rich_text"}}},{"ab":false,"abStatus":null,"abTestId":null,"abVariation":false,"abVariationAutomated":false,"absoluteUrl":"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/importance-of-getting-media-releases","afterPostBody":null,"aifeatures":null,"allowedSlugConflict":false,"analytics":null,"analyticsPageId":"173606896019","analyticsPageType":"blog-post","approvalStatus":null,"archived":false,"archivedAt":0,"archivedInDashboard":false,"areCommentsAllowed":true,"attachedStylesheets":[],"audienceAccess":"PUBLIC","author":null,"authorName":null,"authorUsername":null,"blogAuthor":{"avatar":"","bio":"Grant Patten - VP, Marketing","cdnPurgeEmbargoTime":null,"cosObjectType":"BLOG_AUTHOR","created":1557244191140,"deletedAt":0,"displayName":"Grant Patten","email":"grant@frontrowinsurance.com","facebook":"","fullName":"Grant Patten","gravatarUrl":"https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/9751f803d54c2340cccdf5025adc9aa4","hasSocialProfiles":false,"id":9474946913,"label":"Grant Patten","language":null,"linkedin":"","name":"Grant Patten","portalId":61352,"slug":"grant-patten","translatedFromId":null,"translations":{},"twitter":"","twitterUsername":"","updated":1557244191140,"userId":null,"username":null,"website":""},"blogAuthorId":9474946913,"blogPostAuthor":{"avatar":"","bio":"Grant Patten - VP, Marketing","cdnPurgeEmbargoTime":null,"cosObjectType":"BLOG_AUTHOR","created":1557244191140,"deletedAt":0,"displayName":"Grant Patten","email":"grant@frontrowinsurance.com","facebook":"","fullName":"Grant Patten","gravatarUrl":"https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/9751f803d54c2340cccdf5025adc9aa4","hasSocialProfiles":false,"id":9474946913,"label":"Grant Patten","language":null,"linkedin":"","name":"Grant Patten","portalId":61352,"slug":"grant-patten","translatedFromId":null,"translations":{},"twitter":"","twitterUsername":"","updated":1557244191140,"userId":null,"username":null,"website":""},"blogPostScheduleTaskUid":null,"blogPublishInstantEmailCampaignId":null,"blogPublishInstantEmailRetryCount":null,"blogPublishInstantEmailTaskUid":"DONE","blogPublishToSocialMediaTask":"DONE","blueprintTypeId":0,"businessUnitId":null,"campaign":null,"campaignName":null,"campaignUtm":null,"category":3,"categoryId":3,"cdnPurgeEmbargoTime":null,"checkPostLevelAudienceAccessFirst":true,"clonedFrom":null,"composeBody":null,"compositionId":0,"contentAccessRuleIds":[],"contentAccessRuleTypes":[],"contentGroup":952267656,"contentGroupId":952267656,"contentTypeCategory":3,"contentTypeCategoryId":3,"contentTypeId":null,"created":1721654110328,"createdByAgent":null,"createdById":7915797,"createdTime":1721654110328,"crmObjectId":null,"css":{},"cssText":"","ctaClicks":null,"ctaViews":null,"currentState":"PUBLISHED","currentlyPublished":true,"deletedAt":0,"deletedBy":null,"deletedByEmail":null,"deletedById":null,"domain":"","dynamicPageDataSourceId":null,"dynamicPageDataSourceType":null,"dynamicPageHubDbTableId":null,"enableDomainStylesheets":null,"enableGoogleAmpOutputOverride":false,"enableLayoutStylesheets":null,"errors":[],"featuredImage":"https://61352.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/61352/blog-image-uploads/laughing-cast-shutterstock_2407963169-forweb600.jpg","featuredImageAltText":"Laughing cast audition: media releases","featuredImageHeight":400,"featuredImageLength":0,"featuredImageWidth":600,"flexAreas":{},"folderId":null,"footerHtml":null,"freezeDate":1725045376000,"generateJsonLdEnabledOverride":true,"hasContentAccessRules":false,"hasUserChanges":true,"headHtml":null,"header":null,"htmlTitle":"The Importance of Getting Media Releases from Cast and Above-the-line Crew","id":173606896019,"includeDefaultCustomCss":null,"isCaptchaRequired":true,"isCrawlableByBots":false,"isDraft":false,"isInstanceLayoutPage":false,"isInstantEmailEnabled":true,"isPublished":true,"isSocialPublishingEnabled":false,"keywords":[],"label":"The Importance of Getting Media Releases from Cast and Above-the-line Crew","language":"en","lastEditSessionId":null,"lastEditUpdateId":null,"layoutSections":{},"legacyBlogTabid":null,"legacyId":null,"legacyPostGuid":null,"linkRelCanonicalUrl":"","listTemplate":"prox_frontrow/templates/blog/blog-listing.html","liveDomain":"www.frontrowinsurance.com","mab":false,"mabExperimentId":null,"mabMaster":false,"mabVariant":false,"meta":{"html_title":"The Importance of Getting Media Releases from Cast and Above-the-line Crew","post_body":"<p style=\"font-size: 12px;

the cast and above-the-line crew (i.e., creative personnel) is important for several reasons:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>**Legal Protection**: Media releases provide legal protection to the filmmakers and production company. By signing a release, the individuals grant permission for their likeness (image, voice, etc.) to be used in the film and related promotional materials. This prevents them from later claiming that their rights have been violated.<br><br></li>\n<li>**Distribution and Exhibition**: Releases are often required by <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/109689/distributor-s-errors-and-omissions-e-o-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">distributors</a>, broadcasters, and exhibitors as proof that necessary permissions were obtained to use the participants' likenesses. Without these releases, the film may face difficulties in being distributed or exhibited.<br><br></li>\n<li>**Promotional Purposes**: Filmmakers use images, clips, and other promotional materials featuring the cast and crew to market the film. Having releases allows them to freely use such materials without concerns about legal repercussions.<br><br></li>\n<li>**Documentary Evidence**: Releases serve as documentary evidence that the participants were aware of how their <a href=\"/articles/film-production-right-of-publicity\" rel=\"noopener\">likenesses</a> would be used and consented to it. This can be important if any disputes arise in the future.<br><br></li>\n<li>**Standard Industry Practice**: Requiring releases is a standard practice in the film industry. It ensures clarity and professionalism in handling the rights of the individuals involved in the production.<br><br></li>\n<li>**Insurance Requirements**: Some insurance policies may require that all necessary releases are obtained to ensure coverage in case of legal claims related to the use of likenesses.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 36px;\">How to go about obtaining media releases</h2>\n<p>Here’s a general outline of how to go about obtaining these releases:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>**Draft a Release Form**: Create a standard media release form that clearly outlines the rights being granted by the participant (cast or crew member) to the filmmaker or production company. This form should include:</li>\n</ol>\n<ul>\n<li>Name and contact details of the participant</li>\n<li>Description of the project (title of the film, brief synopsis)</li>\n<li>Rights granted (permission to use likeness in the film, promotional materials, etc.)</li>\n<li>Duration of the rights (typically in perpetuity or for the duration of copyright)</li>\n<li>Compensation details (if any)</li>\n<li>Signatures of both the participant and a representative of the production company</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Ideally, <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/102480/eo-insurance-for-film-and-tv-the-value-of-a-lawyer\" rel=\"noopener\">consult an entertainment lawyer</a> to help you create this form.</p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>**Explain the Release**: Before asking participants to sign the release form, explain to them in clear terms what they are agreeing to. Ensure they understand how their likeness will be used in the film and related materials.<br><br></li>\n<li>**Timing of Signing**: Ideally, obtain the releases <a href=\"/articles/producers-buy-an-eo-policy-before-going-into-production-or-wait\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>before</em> filming begins</a> or at the start of a participant's involvement in the project. This ensures that all parties are clear on the terms from the outset.<br><br></li>\n<li>**Offer Copies**: Provide participants with a copy of the signed release form for their records. This demonstrates transparency and ensures they have documentation of their agreement.<br><br></li>\n<li>**Consider Special Cases**: For minors (under 18 years old) or individuals who may not have the capacity to fully understand the release (e.g., due to disability or language barriers), additional steps may be necessary. Legal guardians should sign on behalf of minors, and efforts should be made to ensure comprehension and voluntary consent.<br><br></li>\n<li>**Retention and Organization**: Keep all signed release forms organized and securely stored. These documents may be needed for legal or administrative purposes throughout the production and beyond.<br><br></li>\n<li>**Review Legal Requirements**: Depending on your location and the specific circumstances of your production, there may be additional legal requirements or considerations. Ideally, consult with an entertainment lawyer to ensure compliance with relevant regulations.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>By following these steps, filmmakers can effectively obtain media releases from cast and above-the-line crew members, ensuring legal protection and clarity regarding the use of their likenesses in the film and related materials.</p>\n<p>Obtaining media releases from cast and above-the-line crew members is advisable to protect both the artistic integrity and the legal rights of filmmakers/producers and ensure smooth distribution and promotion of the film.</p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: #ffff04;\"><em>This information does not constitute legal advice.

Insurance brokers are recognized by law as experts in insurance. Insurance brokers in Canada must pass a series of exams in order to be licensed and there is annual continuing education to maintain a license. Make sure your broker is licensed in the province that you are shooting your production or the production could be fined or subject to a surtax.</p>\n<p>Insurance brokers owe a higher duty of care to their clients than an insurance agent. Brokers represent the interests of their clients, <a href=\"/articles/front-row-insurance-were-brokers-not-insurers\" rel=\"noopener\">not the insurance companies</a>. They offer professional advice in arranging insurance on behalf of their clients.</p>\n<p>Since insurance brokers are considered under the law as professionals, they are responsible for their actions and can be sued for professional negligence if their advice is deemed to be faulty. All licensed brokers therefore need to carry professional <a href=\"/sectors/e-o-insurance\" rel=\" noopener\">Errors and Omissions coverage</a>.

It’s as simple as that. There are only so many keys, chords, and options with respect to music, but as a producer, you’ll want to ensure that if you’re hiring someone to create music, that they’re not copying from other people; that they’re creating original work that’s based on some form of skill and judgment, it’s original to them or the people you’re hiring collectively, and it’s not copying other works.</p>\n<p>If a producer receives notice from another lawyer or artist or manager that the music in that person’s production infringes upon another person’s rights, they should contact their lawyer, and the lawyer should quickly thereafter contact the film insurance broker. <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/102480/eo-insurance-for-film-and-tv-the-value-of-a-lawyer\" rel=\"noopener\">The lawyer’s role</a> would be to review the situation, see if it’s frivolous or legitimate<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">; e.g.,</span> it may be that there was a creative collaborator and we thought that there was an agreement with this person but there wasn’t, there may have been an unsigned <a href=\"/articles/does-eo-insurance-protect-against-claims-of-breach-of-contract\" rel=\"noopener\">contract</a>, <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">etc. </span>These things should have been figured out when the lawyer was doing their due diligence earlier but it’s possible that something fell through the cracks.</p>\n<p>Or someone may have just heard something in a movie and feels like something they created in their basement <a href=\"/articles/blurring-the-lines-of-music-infringement-law-three-perspectives-in-one\" rel=\"noopener\">sounds similar</a>. There’s a variety of different possible claims that someone might make and the film producer should contact their lawyer immediately. Be upfront about the specific circumstances. Does the producer have a relationship with this person?

With respect to <a href=\"/articles/what-about-when-film-producers-are-unable-to-obtain-music-rights\" rel=\"noopener\">music</a>, it’s important that each song is referenced in the credits if you have told someone you’re getting the rights from that you’re going to include them in the credits.</p>\n<p>So, in a <a href=\"/articles/music-licenses-for-non-original-music-used-in-a-film-production\" rel=\"noopener\">music synchronization license agreement</a> or a master use license agreement, or a composer agreement, one aspect of that is how you’re crediting the musicians, the record label (if there is one), the publisher (if there is one), and so it’s important that the credits of a production like a film reference the music. They may say “music by”, referring to the composer, or list all of the songs. Generally, if you’re someone like me who reads the credits of every production, there’s a whole list of songs at the end, and it’s fun to see what music was used in the production.</p>\n<p>There are different types of ways you can list the credits. It might say “courtesy of”, referring to a record label or publisher, it usually lists who performed the song, it should list who wrote the song, <em>etc. </em>It’s not going to list all the other instrumentalists or the producer; usually it’s the performer, the writer, and then who is providing the rights, meaning a record label or publisher.</p>\n<p>In your agreement with the music owner, it generally says, “these are your credits, but if the credits aren’t there or aren’t right, we aren’t in <a href=\"/articles/does-eo-insurance-protect-against-claims-of-breach-of-contract\" rel=\"noopener\">breach</a> of the agreement.” If there’s a mistake in the credits, you’ll still want the rights to use the music. This isn’t a free pass not to give people credits, but it’s an important part of any agreement where credits are being provided that the agreement says something of this nature.</p>\n<p>What sometimes people say is that: if it’s not repetitive or on purpose, it’s OK, but just to be safe and conservative, if you’ve given someone a credit, <em>credit them</em>. And that’s not just for composers or musicians; it’s for anybody who worked on your project. Getting credit is worth something.

It’s important that we review credits and recognize all the people involved in any kind of production. With respect to <a href=\"/articles/what-about-when-film-producers-are-unable-to-obtain-music-rights\" rel=\"noopener\">music</a>, it’s important that each song is referenced in the credits if you have told someone you’re getting the rights from that you’re going to include them in the credits.</p>\n<p>So, in a <a href=\"/articles/music-licenses-for-non-original-music-used-in-a-film-production\" rel=\"noopener\">music synchronization license agreement</a> or a master use license agreement, or a composer agreement, one aspect of that is how you’re crediting the musicians, the record label (if there is one), the publisher (if there is one), and so it’s important that the credits of a production like a film reference the music. They may say “music by”, referring to the composer, or list all of the songs. Generally, if you’re someone like me who reads the credits of every production, there’s a whole list of songs at the end, and it’s fun to see what music was used in the production.</p>\n<p>There are different types of ways you can list the credits. It might say “courtesy of”, referring to a record label or publisher, it usually lists who performed the song, it should list who wrote the song, <em>etc. </em>It’s not going to list all the other instrumentalists or the producer; usually it’s the performer, the writer, and then who is providing the rights, meaning a record label or publisher.</p>\n<p>In your agreement with the music owner, it generally says, “these are your credits, but if the credits aren’t there or aren’t right, we aren’t in <a href=\"/articles/does-eo-insurance-protect-against-claims-of-breach-of-contract\" rel=\"noopener\">breach</a> of the agreement.” If there’s a mistake in the credits, you’ll still want the rights to use the music. This isn’t a free pass not to give people credits, but it’s an important part of any agreement where credits are being provided that the agreement says something of this nature.</p>\n<p>What sometimes people say is that: if it’s not repetitive or on purpose, it’s OK, but just to be safe and conservative, if you’ve given someone a credit, <em>credit them</em>. And that’s not just for composers or musicians; it’s for anybody who worked on your project. Getting credit is worth something. It can’t pay the rent to be credited but it’s part of the compensation that a composer or musician gets when their music is in a film production.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer’s E&O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/what-are-considerations-around-singers-performing-music-in-a-film\" rel=\"noopener\">What about singers performing music in films?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/102723/e-o-insurance-how-much-of-your-productions-format-is-copyright-able\" rel=\"noopener\">How much of your production’s format is “copyrightable”?</a></li>\n<li><strong>eBook</strong>: <a href=\"/errors-omissions-insurance-101\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&O insurance 101</a></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">YouTube</span>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&O) – Byron Pascoe</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

That would be the major difference – [with self-distribution, such as YouTube] there is that added layer of ease for individuals who have been infringed upon to file a report and get content taken down, which could significantly impact the future prospects of the film.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Dave Stern</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Blaney McMurtry LLP</em></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US? </span></em>Get a quote for <a href=\"/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">producer’s E&O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/can-an-idea-be-copyrighted\" rel=\"noopener\">Can an idea be copyrighted?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/top-20-filmmaking-youtube-channels\" rel=\"noopener\">The best filmmakers on YouTube</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/the-best-cameras-for-youtube\" rel=\"noopener\">The best cameras for YouTube</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Clearance procedures – E&O</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/109689/distributor-s-errors-and-omissions-e-o-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">Distributor's E&O insurance</a></li>\n<li>YouTube: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbih45AJnVlE-_S7oNUpo0qzl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&O) – Dave Stern</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">About</span>: Based in the heart of Toronto’s financial district, Blaney McMurtry LLP is one of Canada's premier law firms. </span><a href=\"https://www.blaney.com/\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">https://www.blaney.com/</a></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">About</span>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that specializes in the entertainment industry – specifically, the film industry.

before walking down the aisle, the marquee tent is buffeted by wind and comes loose from its moorings and injures guests and destroys the buffet. The wedding insurance policy will provide the wedding couple with a lawyer to defend the resulting lawsuits from friends and relatives and the policy will also pay for the judgement amounts and will pay for the food and destroyed catering tables.</p>\n<h2 class=\"speakabletext\" style=\"font-size: 36px;\">How Much Does Wedding Insurance Cost?</h2>\n<p class=\"speakabletext\">A basic <a href=\"https://events.frontrowinsurance.com/\" rel=\"noopener\">one-day wedding insurance policy</a> (Canada) that covers: attire, presents, deposits and venue liability usually costs anywhere between $115 and $350 CAD, depending on the amount of coverage you want. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pricing subject to change.</span></p>\n<p></p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Are you in the US</span>?</span> <a href=\"https://events.frontrowinsurance.com/us\" rel=\"noopener\">Wedding insurance in the US</a> can be arranged quickly through our online program. </em></p>\n<h3>Do You Really Need <a href=\"https://events.frontrowinsurance.com/\" rel=\"noopener\">Wedding Insurance</a>?</h3>\n<p>If you cannot afford the costs associated with a lawsuit then it is smart to transfer the risks of your wedding to an insurance policy.

The venue may also want to see evidence of venue alcohol liability.</p>\n<h3>When Should You Get Wedding Insurance?</h3>\n<p>As soon as you start your wedding checklist. Let's say you put a deposit on your wedding venue months in advance of your wedding date and then it is damaged in a windstorm a month before the big day.

class=\"speakabletext\">Special event wedding insurance protects a couple if they are sued as a result of a mishap at their wedding that injures a guest or damages the venue. It also covers lost rings, presents, gowns but does not cover the missing best man.</p>\n<h2 class=\"speakabletext\">Why Get Wedding Insurance?</h2>\n<p>Yikes:</p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"speakabletext\">Alex and Robin spend months planning their summer wedding on a relative's farm. On their big day, a forest fire blocked access to the farm.

Pascoe</strong>: When singers are singing a song in a film, the first point is that if you’re a producer and you have someone singing in a film and it’s actually them singing (not a recording) a song that exists, you need permission to use <a href=\"/articles/music-licenses-for-non-original-music-used-in-a-film-production\" rel=\"noopener\">the composition</a> in the film. If you are recording someone singing a song in a film, then you don’t need to get the rights to use the original recording because you’re making the recording yourself. So, you don’t have to get the master rights from some record label; you’ve created the recording yourself.</p>\n<p>If you’re the producer and you’ve asked your director to tell the singer to add an extra chorus or change a verse around based on the storyline, you’re changing the song. There are two things to consider: <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">1) </span>you may need to get some rights from the writer; if the performer went off script, you need their consent and<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"> 2) </span>you need the right to change the composition. Whoever controls the original composition, they need to give consent to you changing around the words or the process or the order of the song. Same goes for translation; if the original song is in English and you want it to be in French in your movie, you need consent for the translation. Even if you hire a translator or use Google Translate, you’re not allowed to do that without getting consent for this translation that you have done.</p>\n<p>If you’re using a song in a film that is being performed by someone in the film or TV show, you need to make sure that if there are any changes to that composition, you need to get permission from whoever the composition originated with AND you need consent to use the new intellectual property created by whoever made those changes. However, as I said, if you’re making your own recording of a song, you don’t need to buy the recording of the original song, so that could save some money, but adds some hoops to jump through in terms of getting the proper permission.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/what-role-do-credits-play\" rel=\"noopener\">What role do music credits play?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/whats-a-music-exclusion\" rel=\"noopener\">What's a music exclusion?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/blurring-the-lines-of-music-infringement-law-three-perspectives-in-one\" rel=\"noopener\">Blurring the lines of music infringement law</a></li>\n<li><strong>eBook</strong>: <a href=\"/errors-omissions-insurance-101\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&O Insurance 101</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Byron Pascoe's film producer's E&O videos</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

However, as I said, if you’re making your own recording of a song, you don’t need to buy the recording of the original song, so that could save some money, but adds some hoops to jump through in terms of getting the proper permission.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/what-role-do-credits-play\" rel=\"noopener\">What role do music credits play?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/whats-a-music-exclusion\" rel=\"noopener\">What's a music exclusion?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/blurring-the-lines-of-music-infringement-law-three-perspectives-in-one\" rel=\"noopener\">Blurring the lines of music infringement law</a></li>\n<li><strong>eBook</strong>: <a href=\"/errors-omissions-insurance-101\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&O Insurance 101</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Byron Pascoe's film producer's E&O videos</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

singing a song in a film, the first point is that if you’re a producer and you have someone singing in a film and it’s actually them singing (not a recording) a song that exists, you need permission to use <a href=\"/articles/music-licenses-for-non-original-music-used-in-a-film-production\" rel=\"noopener\">the composition</a> in the film. If you are recording someone singing a song in a film, then you don’t need to get the rights to use the original recording because you’re making the recording yourself. So, you don’t have to get the master rights from some record label; you’ve created the recording yourself.</p>\n<p>If you’re the producer and you’ve asked your director to tell the singer to add an extra chorus or change a verse around based on the storyline, you’re changing the song. There are two things to consider: <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">1) </span>you may need to get some rights from the writer; if the performer went off script, you need their consent and<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"> 2) </span>you need the right to change the composition. Whoever controls the original composition, they need to give consent to you changing around the words or the process or the order of the song.

A master use license is a license/agreement/permission to use the recording.</p>\n<p>On the composition side, the term that is used is a synchronization license; it’s the right to use the composition. Sometimes, synchronization refers to both sides: the recording and the composition, but if we’re comparing master use and synchronization licenses, the master use license refers to the recording and a synchronization use license refers to the composition.</p>\n<p>As a producer of a production, you need to get a master use license from whoever owns or controls the recording AND you need a synchronization license from whoever owns or controls the composition. Collectively, it may be a “master use and synchronization license” if you’re dealing with, for example, an independent artist who owns their own recordings and wrote their own compositions.</p>\n<p>So, oftentimes they’re together and oftentimes they’re apart; sometimes it’s the same person, sometimes it’s different people to contact to get each of those licenses.
