Hey Everybody! 
My Name is Aaron Im 15 and from England.
I seriously have got a big interest for film making and recently bought a Panasonic HDC-SD9 Full HD camcorder. I have done a bit of research and found out this camera is broadcast quality, or worthy shall i say (3CCD). Im happy with the results of picture quality and i plan to make some short films about 5-8 minutes long. I am sick of iMovie and the limits it has so i am ordering Final Cut Express 4 tomorrow can't wait to have a mess around with some effects!
Right lets get to what i wanted to ask
Before i start shooting anything i wanted to know about copyright issues or shall i say getting permission... if im in a public place what will i need to get permission for? i understand about appearances forms ect but lets say i have the McDonalds logo in the footage...i am guessing i could get in a bit of a mess, the same with copyrighted music in the background or footage.
i have been told if i was to film the youtube website on my computer i would not need permission from youtube to show there site and logo on the footage ONLY permission from the owner of the video being played on youtube while filming.
i wanted to know if anyone could give me any information about getting rights and / or tell me what i can film without permission or if i have to get permission wont require me spending alot of money... already i have spent £500+ on camera and Final Cut Express. I will properly spend a maximum of another £200 on getting the shorts together (green screen ect.)...so low budget really.
Thanks very much for your time,
Aaron
