Entertainment Law Terms and Definitions

 
 

Saturation Campaign
Variation Margin: Payment made on a daily or intraday basis by a clearing member to the clearing organization based on adverse price movement in positions carried by the clearing member, calculated separately for customer and proprietary positions.

Copyright
A legal term referring to protection granted an individual or organization against the use of an original work without expressed consent.

Holding Fees
In paid broadcast and cable television advertising, fees paid to retain principal performers in commercials. These are paid in 13-week cycles, regardless of whether the commercials are actually aired. There are no holding fees for radio.

Financier
The financier is a non-developing financial provider for a film. Simply, financiers are usually money sources looking to invest in complete, packaged scripts. Although they have the ability to bring a significant amount of a movie's budget, financiers are often money people looking at the bottom line - does the project have marketable elements already in place? Unlike most developing studios, these money sources move from script to screen quickly, however, most of the initial footwork must already have been done.

Kill Date
The expiration date of advertising materials. Kill dates notify media outlets that an advertisement should not be broadcast or placed after that date.

Bleed
Printing to the edge of the page, leaving no margin.

Manager
Known for paying special attention to both a client's personal and financial needs, the manager assists in administrating an artists' personal business. Agents and managers share many of the same functions, but tend to fill very unique rolls. Managers usually work with smaller client lists, as they're known for providing more focused attention on the growth and development of a clients' career.

Usage Limitations
Restrictions on the placement of a commercial (e.g., PSA use only).

Media Plan or Media Buy Plan
A part of the communications plan that details how various media will be employed. Identifies the specific schedule of paid placements that have been negotiated for an ad or collection of ads, including the times and programs during which television and radio ads will run, the locations and sizes of billboards that will be placed, the publications and placement within those publications in which print ads will run, etc.

Rate Card
A card issued by an advertising medium listing its rates, requirements, and information needed from the advertiser.

Did You Know?    
 
 
Production Company is a major factor in entertainment
The production company acts as central headquarters for all stages of production. They range in size from a single person to over twenty employees and commit to duties ranging from the inception of an idea to making sure the final print's delivered to the theater on premiere night. They're core functions, however, are to assist the headlining producer in developing scripts, attaching talent, and running the day-to-day production activity. Although a handful of production companies fall under corporate studio umbrellas that cover their overhead, most work on a project-to-project basis much like the artists.
