I am thinking of having a scene in which the main character can be seen playing a video game, and for it to work it is vital for the game to be shown. Now what complications can this have? If the actual title of the game cannot be seen, would I need permission to use it? If the footage is of a game that could look like any game, would anyone notice? Also I plan on entering it in a competition, not a festival, would this affect the situation at all?
Does anyone have any experience of showing footage of a video game in their works?
