Archive/ Library/ Self-generated/ Archive and Internet Materials, Property Rights and Copyrights

Different Materials:

An emmsence history of materials produced for use within film means that now exist archives that can be resourced for new productions. What follows here is research into the kind of things which are provided within archive material and it's uses. 

Archive Material:
- This is old materialised footage which has been used in previous production from the vast amount of genres.
- When someone or something is being used to create a film. This would be when Senna had been used to create a film directly about him.

Who uses it?
- Documentary film makers generally rather to use this footage, as it allows them to authenticate their narratives.

An example of Archive Material would be:

- The Cove. The footage from the archived material was used to expose the suffering of dolphins from Japanese fishermen. The footage which was displayed allowed the audience to feel the impact of what the fishermen have been doing to the dolphins. The slaughtering of dolphins displays and makes the audience understand that is is happening.

Library Material:
This refers to material effects.
- When the filming stage is complete within a production the wild tracks of non dialogue is completed by the company in which it was produced from. 
- Many productions choose to collect and build up a library of sounds over the decades. 
- Companies in the larger spotlight tend to sell what they own in their libraries of sounds to obtain a profit.
- Archives of video materials tend to be in companies collections and are often referred as [action essentials].

The website [prosoundeffects]offer a wide range of Sound effects libraries, but prices aren't cheap, it tend to become more expensive the larger the memory filled with sounds.

- This comes to $3,995,00 and they provide different purchase options.
There are many other websites which offer bundles depending on genre of sounds and how popular, so prices vary. 

Self-generated materials:
- This is where anything created for a production this may include sound and video creations.
- Constructing props - in house for production companies costs a lot of money to make. It would be more effective to export props from a prop house as it would save time and money. 

Archive Material:
- This involves old and already used footage which has been used within film productions. Documentary makers often use this so that they can use real footage to make the overall documentary more authentic.

Internet:

- The internet is the way to conduct Secondary Research, the internet offers cleared sounds and effects for your short film. 

For my movie I would choose to use
http://soundbible.com/free-sound-effects-1.html
This would be for sound and effects they offer a wide range in which I can use for completely no fee. 

If I were to use this site I would be able to even create my own sound library for no cost and it would save time.

Property Rights and Copyright conditions:
- With existing company material if you wanted to use it you would have to get their permission and there may be a charge involved.
- However, everything in which you use you need to have permission as if you don't and your film is published this could cause problems. 
For example:
- If someone has created something such as sound or an effect and it is copyrighted you cannot use it without consent.
