Welcome to The Law of Film!
The Law of Film will introduce you the wonderful world of film and film copyright. The module will provide you with skills in interpreting film and intellectual property critically and analytically. You will undertake evaluation of film protection and commercialisation using film theory, fan and cultural studies, and intellectual property. Topics include the history of film and its protection, the development of intellectual property in film, film theory and intellectual property, film theory and creative practice, authorship and film practice, audience and reception, setting and staging including mise-en-scène and set design, sound and intellectual property, costume and design, adaptation and genre.
As part of the module, you will also develop skills in analysing and critiquing film, and you will watch and review extracts from films in order to understand the application and development of intellectual property in film. The module will enable you to develop particular expertise in understanding and appreciating the specific issues for film products, the artistic and social context for film production, and the legal interpretation of film through intellectual property, and equip you with the specific knowledge and skills to identify and manage intellectual property in film.
