We were wondering how would u go about giving credit to a film we used a clip from that was in public domain??
Public Domain ??
- Thread starter bloodandgutsProduction
- Start date
You'd give them credit in a trusted movie tradition called "The Credits."
It usually scrolls at the end of a film.

Who are you giving credit to? The writer of the clip? The
director? The cinematographer? The studio?

If it's in public domain it won't have a copyright date.
That's what public domain is; something that is no
longer under copyright. Because it's in public domain
that means it is YOURS to use. As a member of the
public YOU have the right to copy. So that's why I
don't really understand what bloodandguts is asking.

I got that. Which is why I asked him who is giving credit to.
If this were a clip he paid for, the credit would be spelled out.
Since this clip is (essentially) owned by him he doesn't need
to give credit at all. I have some ideas of how the card shoud
read, but it will be good to know exactly what he want to give
credit to.

we used a clip of Night of the living dead in our short film. We were wondering if we have to credit the film or not? If we do have to credit the clip in the film how and who do I give credit to
I think this comes down to your personal taste. You have no
contract with the producers so you can't use the usual "...used
with the permission of..." and since the public owns the clip
there is no need to "thank" anyone. If you want to credit the
writer, director, producer, DP or actor you could do that.
After all, you, as a member of the public, owns that film. You
can (as many have done) make a copy of the entire movie and
sell it. All without giving anyone credit.
