Which evidence does GVL accept?
Each piece of evidence basically needs to fulfil "three evidence requirements":
- The evidence relates to the production for which you have registered your contribution. (E.g. Title, production period, programme/channel, original title, main artist etc. are mentioned)
- The evidence proves that you have actually contributed in the way you registered (Your name and your activity including details such as shooting days, narrator takes etc. are mentioned)
- The evidence comes from the producer responsible for the production or a similarly credible source (e.g. agreement, professional fees' statement, CD booklet, producers'/directors' confirmations etc.; invoices generated by yourself are only valid if you also provide the relevant bank statement/proof of incoming payment).
If you have no access to these or if your contribution is not mentioned on them, you can also obtain a confirmation of your contribution by the producer, main artist, artistic producer and/or director. Forms for such types of confirmation can be accessed on our homepage under Documents and forms - Certificates and confirmations.
If you would like to submit evidence for film music, please note that the evidence must clearly show that the relevant music production has been used in the film. For licensed music, for example, two pieces of evidence are thus required: one for your contribution to the original music production, one for the use of that music in the film.
