Why Entertainment Script Clearance Is Needed And How It Works

By Linda Hall


A lot of stuff has been written over time, and because of availability or accessibility, online or in print, concerns like plagiarism, copyright infringement, and libel are often in play. Many if not most of these are accidental and have been done with no malice. Laws today however will say that producing works with these contents could make the producers liable.

The liability lies in those creating new materials to use for any kind of creative work involving words or print. Today, so much trouble and hassle is being avoided or prevented with a thing called entertainment script clearance. This classifies every script done for the film, television, theater and related sectors to be cleared for all kinds of liabilities before being used.

Entertainment outfits will need care in handling their content, while editorial policy has to have some sort of support from either companies or specialists in this process. To clear a script means a load of research and good knowledge of applicable laws. This process is usually done preparatory to the script becoming one that will be used actively for shows or movies and other programs.

When the clearance is done, producers and directors can usually run with the item and create things like pilots, episodes or one off programs. The theater, too, is involved here, and the expertise that is provided is a good way of cutting time off from work done by the writers. While intensive, there are many tools which could help here.

Online, for instance, should be an entire world for assisted searches and almost immediate comparison for duplicate content. All lines are words could be checked fast and thoroughly, and more apps could be used. The apps are now standard and provide great ways of checking content, and this is not the only sector which could use such kind of software.

A lot of directors are impatient for good reason when it comes to processing manuscripts without delays. The scripts have to be done and available for all the relevant people, from crew, to management to cast. If the script is absent, nothing will be achieved here, and lots of money in escrow could be wasted.

Producers may also look at the money or time lost in the process. Failure in this way will even make any project that much nearer to canning or abandonment. There have been many projects that were shut down in this way, never got into any sort of production level, or passed up and taken on years later with folks who gambled on them.

Many of the things done in this job will not actually be very hard to accomplish. Although these require good experience and the general sense of creativity and knowledge about movies or literature, and related fields. These would be varied, but all will use words as the primary medium.

Things like libeling, plagiarism and copyright infringement are real problems when and if an entertainment program is put up. There have been times that these passed the censorship, proofreading or editorial work. The sector for clearing scripts thus provides an important service for a money making industry.
