Do you know about Laws or Restrictions for film in Victoria?
Fri, 14 Aug 2009, 10:55 amHey All,
Not sure if this is the right section to post this question, but I am shooting a low budget music video clip next weeknd and wanted to know if there is any laws regarding buildings or anything in the background? Trams, trains, train stations etc.
Or even brand names, can they be seen in the video or is permission needed?
If you have any idea or know of where I can find info on it that would be great.
Thank you.
I only know about one of
Fri, 14 Aug 2009, 01:13 pmI only know about one of them, and that is that if you're planning on shooting ON a tram, then you have to get permission (presumably because of safety). I have no idea what other restrictions there might be; I suggest contacting the council you're planning on filming in. I think if it's in the background, then it doesn't matter; however, don't take my word for it just in case. I do know that certain areas (ie. heritage buildings or whatever) might have some restrictions on them, but probably more if you were filming within the building/outside the building itself, and using it as a setting.
I don't know about brand names. Why don't you contact a film organisation, like Film Victoria, or something similar?
