ABSTRACT
If you use any audio-visual material in your multimedia project you may well wish to have contributions from ‘real’ people in your programmes. The ways in which you use people and what they are doing in the recording affect the ways in which they are normally contracted and what they are paid for their contribution. This chapter divides them into four categories – actors, musicians, professional broadcasters and members of the public – and gives a breakdown of the rights they hold and how to contract them. It also gives advice on the use of ‘employees’ in a production.
