“Individual television contributions” are artistic contributions to productions which are not relevant from a neighbouring rights perspective over the full duration, as there are also non-artistic elements. TV shows, for example, also include presentations, games and interviews. These do not qualify for GVL remuneration payments. You can, however, notify us of a musical performance, a stand-up performance or a performance as an actor in a film clip. Please always mention the name and the duration of the individual contribution in addition to the name of the overarching broadcast (series). Only one participation report is possible per production in this sub-budget.

Example:

If you had a musical performance with the ficticious band "The Opticians" on the ficticious game show "I See Something You Don't See" in 2017, which went to air in 2018, you would enter the following on the form:

Sub-budget: individual television contributions

Distribution year: 2018

Production name: I See Something You Don't See

Production year: 2017

Production duration (hh:mm:ss): 00:03:30 (if your performance lasted 3 minutes and 30 seconds. The duration of the entire show is irrelevant)

Name of individual contribution in production/broadcast: musical performance with band Opticians.

Please note that individual television contributions are only compensated for a maximum duration of 30 minutes and are capped accordingly, even if your artistic contributions go beyond this. Please also note the instructions on how to properly bundle notifications. For example, if you performed several times or regularly on a particular show (e.g., in the show band of an entertainment show), combine all episodes and seasons of that distribution year into one entry and then increase the frequency of airings.

Example:

You participated in the fictitious music show "I Hear You" as a musician in the show band. In 2017, there were 3 seasons of 5 episodes each, but no repeats. In the form, you would enter the following: 

Sub-budget: TV individual contributions 

Year of distribution: 2017

Production name: I hear you (seasons 1-3)

Production year: 2017 

Production duration (hh:mm:ss): 00:30:00 (Only a maximum duration of 30 minutes is allowed here, even if your musical contribution went beyond that).  

Name of individual contribution in production/broadcast: "I hear you" band accompanying various artists

Frequency of broadcasts: 11-50 (3 seasons with 5 episodes each result in 15 broadcasts, from which the corresponding broadcast frequency is derived).
