Public Domain is a god send when constructing a video (editing, not filming). It is especially great to have when making a documentary, because you cant always create your own footage, especially when the documentary is a historical one or at least uses historical clips/sources. Public domain s by far the bet when you are on a low budget because that is one more thing you don't have to use the film budget on.
There are different way a Documented source or media is brought into the *wrestling show announcer voice* "WORLD OF PUBLIC DOMAIN". One way is through the government. By that I mean anything the government releases publicly is already within the public domain, by law. A good example is Nasa, they are funded and owned by the US government.Any documents, footage and'or media made by the NASA program is now within the public domain. Another way is if the artist intended or sought out that their work be published into public domain. Lastly, a way to get public domain is time. Yes time. For instance, "take me out to the ball game". Obviously that song was written by someone as it is credited to but the big thing is that, because of how old it is it now lays in the specifications of public domain.
The whole world of public domain is helpful for any film student, artist, blogger, journalist, etc. because we as a people have a chance to talk about something without hanging ourselves into financial problems or a chance to present our evidence to our conversation properly.
