The Producer uses the Stock Image Log Sheet to document the type, source, copyright holder, and rights acquired for any stock images used in the film, noting the start and end timecode for where each image falls in the finished film. This includes any stock footage, photos, and artwork.

Be particularly attentive to anything listed as being in the public domain, as misinformation about such matters is rife on the Internet. If a source claims something’s in the public domain, do your due diligence to evaluate the veracity of that source.

If you wish to make a fair use case for any item, be sure to educate yourself on fair use and discuss it in advance with the Head of Production to ensure it will be approved.
