Our TV advert would consist of featuring heavy game footage from existing games in our chosen genre. For example, one of the games we are thinking about featuring in our TV advert is Rocket League created by Psyonix. Before we would go ahead and start creating the trailer, we thought it would be best to make sure we wasn't infringing any copyright laws. As a result, we researched about the creator and looked at their policies online.
Furthermore, we also have looked at various video game creators and they have all said gamers are welcome to use visual images from their games in videos created by themselves as long as footage is not taken by their official trailers produced by the video game company itself.

| Rockstars Policy on Copyright. |
Rockstar clearly says in this post that gamers are allowed to use gameplay from their games to be used in videos as long as it's not for commercial use. E.g. promoting to sell a T-shirt.

| Psyonix Policy on Copyright
Psyonix clearly states in their copyright policy that gamers are to share, copy, distribute and transmit any work. However, it must be used for non-commercial use. Also, if you reuse or distribute work of others, you must make clear to others the license terms of their work. E.g. link to their web page or acknowledging that the content being used is somebody else's.
