We finished the editing of our film this week, but do to the law of copyright we could not post it. If we had posted it on YouTube or on the blog this could caused lawsuits and other problems with the government since the film was highly illegal. As a private person you might take the risk to post it and get away with it, but since we are doing this as a assignment at Griffith University it was not an option to post it. What we did wrong was that we used pictures of two cartoon characters, Betty Boop and Jessica Rabbit, which we need permission from the owners, Warner Brothers, to use. To avoid this illegal action we could have asked them for permission or used pictures of ourselves or volunteers. We also used facebook's name and logo without permission. Rather than doing this we could have invented a name and/or blurred the facebook name.
Even though the film came out illegal I learned a lot from the experience of making it. All crew members now know for sure what to do, and not, next time they are creating a movie. I will take the experience with me and use it to do it better next time.
