In order to ensure that my short film doesn't get copyright struck by the original producers of the 1966 World Cup Final footage, I had to make sure that the footage I found was at least 50 years old. This is because under the copyright law, any audio-visual works are protected for 50 years until they can be used for reproduction. Therefore, I will be able to use audio commentary of the 1966 World Cup Final when the main character is thinking of these events in his mind as non-diegetic sound in the short film after he has a poor practice session. This audio plays while he is looking at a poster of the England football team captain at the time, Bobby Moore, is lifting the Jules-Rimet World Cup trophy. In addition, the copyright law will allow me to show these images in my film, therefore, making short film biopic as authentic as possible.
