Proposal

In order to fulfil this briefe I intend to make an audio visual piece of around 2-3 minutes in length. this video is designed as an informational video regarding what digital piracy is and what effects it has had and may have on the media industry.
I intend to make the video focus on the information about piracy and as such the visual side will be fairly baisic and will revolve mainly around showing different breaches in copyright laws. The information given will be linked to what is seen on screen and while talking about the problems it causes for the music industry I intend to show a band playing, as the music can not be heard this could regard re-releasing copyrighted songs or simply a band that is suffering becuase of ilegal downloads.
The product itslef is designed to inform people of the dangers of digital piracy and as such will be open ended. However as i want to show media companies could suffer I want to show the band's equipment neglected in a dark room and an un-attended video camera in a green screen room while the video talks about the companies suffering.
The video will also feature some one talking about the amount they download and this will filter into the information of the voice over as by this point the information will be about how much downloading is being done.
The production of this video should costs no more than £30 and will take one day and one evening to film with an additional day to edit and I have actors ready to help on this production when ever they are required.

Script information

Digitial piracy is the downloading, copying or re-production, in part in full, of any copyrighted material you do not own the copyright for or have express permission for by the copyright owner. this includes films, music, games, programme software and animations.
Digitial piracy has become a problem for many companies as there are downloads available for so many productions, this in turn has led to substantial loses for the work produced. as a lot of this work is expensive to make companies may not be able to fund their work, if ilegal downloading continues.
Downloading has already had a significant impactin the media industry, this can be seen by looking at music companies which have suffered a lot because of downloading. In the UK there are now only two companies of music superstores. the companies that own musical copyrights have tried to combat this by making legal downloads of their music, available for certain prices, however the creation of the software costs money, and the fact that free downloads are available, means that loses are still being made.
The gouvernment has also tried to combat this in their own way by making it so that copyright owners can recieve the names and details of people who seriously break copyright laws and internet service providers are able to suspend the accounts of these people. However despite this digital piracy remains a problem and if downloading is not stopped the media industry could be in serious trouble.
