Handling copyright issues can be a difficult task. Getting everything right (and cleared in terms of copyright) isn't always simple. When working with copyrighted material or when creating new material that has to be copyrighted, it's helpful to keep a few things in mind. No matter how large the intended audience of your product will be - always keep the legal aspects in mind. Who knows if the shortfilm you just did will really stay a famaly-only work. Maybe you shop it around at student festivals or post it on the internet. At least then you will have to worry about legal problems - i.e. if you used copyrighted music or filmclips. So, be serious about copyrights. From the very beginning of your project on, be sure to let everybody fill out release forms, protect your work by registering the copyright and look very closely at what is in frame (for example trademarks) or what license is related with audio/visual material you used in your work.
