Document background
The Music Video Agreement serves as the primary contractual framework for producing music videos in Malaysia, establishing rights, responsibilities, and relationships between production companies, artists, record labels, and other stakeholders. This document is essential when commissioning the creation of a professional music video and should be used before beginning any production work. It covers crucial elements including budget allocation, production timeline, creative control, technical specifications, intellectual property rights, and delivery requirements. The agreement ensures compliance with Malaysian legislation, particularly the Copyright Act 1987, Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, and relevant entertainment industry regulations. It also addresses modern considerations such as digital distribution rights, behind-the-scenes content, and various delivery format requirements.
