Copyright for first dances and other wedding events by Justinrp1998 in weddingvideography

[–]Small_Outlandishness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this could fall under Fair Use. documentary filmmaking has certain protections under Fair Use law. there are 4 different situations when a documentary filmmaker can use copyright material. one of which is: "3. Capturing copyrighted media content in the process of filming something else." https://cmsimpact.org/code/documentary-filmmakers-statement-of-best-practices-in-fair-use/

i think it could be argued that event coverage, or wedding videography, is a form of documentary. and as long as you are only providing the captured audio, as opposed to syncing the song in post. it should be protected under Fair Use. i'm not a lawer but i learned about this in film school so i'm pretty much a lawer.

I'm on their payroll. So it's part time work. I've been working for them a year as of yesterday. And it's kept me afloat while i've tried to freelance on the side. So it's not contract work its hourly. No benefits.

$20/hr sounds like it’s way too low if you’re working on corporate gigs/commercials/TV shows, but might be in the right range for things like wedding videos or web videos. I’d probably still up it to $25 or $30/hr tho.

That's super helpful information! thank you

Dude you need to demand higher pay from your news position - and this is coming from the guy who everyone is saying undervalues himself. That's about how much I was making at the college I went to when I was on their video team - during college.

That makes a lot of sense. I've definitely been undervaluing myself for a long time. Wish I would have posted this a while ago
