Which document would you consult to track the origin and copyright issues of assets?

• A. Project brief
• B. Release form
• C. Asset log
• D. Call sheet

Answer: (C)

Tracking origin and copyright requires a place that records where each asset comes from and what rights apply. An asset log does this well by listing each asset, its source, the license or copyright status, usage restrictions, and who approved or granted permission. Keeping these details in one file helps you confirm you have the rights to use something and to know when licenses need renewing or renewing terms change. For example, a stock image would have its source and license type noted, so you know exactly what you’re allowed to do with it. Other documents serve different purposes: a project brief outlines what needs to be delivered, a release form covers consent to use a person’s image, and a call sheet tracks schedule and crew. So the asset log is the most appropriate tool for tracking origin and copyright.
