No Film School: As an independent creator, you’ve probably had that moment where you watch a great movie, hear an amazing song, or read an inspiring book and think, “I’d love to use that in my own project!” Whether it’s a catchy tune, a powerful scene, or a clever line, incorporating these elements can really bring your vision to life.

I was attracted to this article because I keep getting questions about Gloria and the heavy use of Starbucks as a location and branding on many props. I think for written work, smaller scale companies and businesses, songs, independent artwork etc etc all need to be licensed or cleared with the original owner. One of the main reasons I hate AI is because it pulls from licensed or individual work then plagiarizes them into its own results with no accreditation. HOWEVER when a company is as large and filthy as Starbucks I start to feel more nonchalant about just using whatever. My advisor made a great point that since Gloria is an educational setting production it shouldn’t matter. However, some people are still concerned but my argument is that the Starbucks logo and text are on all sorts of the knock off t-shirts, cups, decorations, etc that I think they’re so large they can’t attack everyone who uses their trademarks or that’s all they’d spend money and time doing.

I'm very happy this article exists for our reference. Many teachers have tried to explain the importance of copyright, especially from a creative standpoint, but this article really brings all the nuances to light. I found the part about ideas being copyrighted pretty interesting, since I've never thought about that concept before. This article has made me feel a bit safer as an artist when thinking about my art and it not being able to be fairly copied.
