schestowitzI did the FD1 paper over the weekend and want to share my experiences. I tried to do this in the 4 hour slot. Jul 15 22:53
schestowitzFirstly, printing the paper took longer than anticipated. I've got quite a slow printer and so it took around 10-15 minutes to print. Towards the end of the 4 hours, I realised that the last page wasn't printed off and so ended up having to print the last page. Overall, I think 15 minutes were taken off from the 4 hours just on printing. Jul 15 22:53
schestowitzI then did the exam and typed online. I would say that screen time is an issue/concern. The first 4/5 questions went well but I noticed a big drop in performance for the next few questions, especially 4 Part B. I had to take regular breaks but given the time pressures of the exam, this would not be possible as it currently is. Reading the questions online did not help and I think the spaces between the lines could do with more Jul 15 22:53
schestowitzspacing. I did do most of the reading on paper and this was ok. I do suffer from migraines so this may be a contributing factor but I take regular breaks away from the screen at work. Jul 15 22:53
schestowitzI also found doing timelines on computer a nightmare and totally impossible to do. I resulted to doing it on paper and I hope we are allowed to have spare paper to scribble on. Jul 15 22:53
schestowitzOverall, the online experience is good but screen time is an issue and the 4 hour time period to complete the exam is not sufficient at least for FD1. Jul 15 22:53

schestowitz"Thank you for your thoughts Andy - I love your enthusiasm! You make some interesting points. Although I you lost me on the bus driver part.. My view in the post is, of course, hypothetical as acknowledged it is a US-UK and literally-artistic work thought experiment. Moreover, might I add, my conclusion was that an argument could be made out - not that it would necessarily be successful. The reason being, in my view, is because the Jul 15 22:54
schestowitzarguments set out by Hadid’s lawyer for implied licence align neatly with the Kogan criteria. "Jul 15 22:54

schestowitz"Jul 15 22:55
schestowitzWith regard to the Gigi Hadid issue, I strongly disagree with your analysis that decision in Kogan v Martin has any bearing whatsoever. Let's just put to one side the fact that the case against Hadid is being heard in the USA and therefore any decision from a UK court has no precedential value. Even if the case against Hadid was being brought here in the UK, I say that Kogan was concerned with different issues. Jul 15 22:55
schestowitzThe work in Kogan was a screenplay, that is a work of literature (or possibly a dramatic work, although nothing turns on that) in which two contributors can easily collaborate in what gets written down during the authoring process. The work in Hadid is a photograph. A photograph is a form of artistic work where the author is (generally speaking) the photographer; that is to say the person who makes the distinct creative choices Jul 15 22:55
schestowitzbehind the camera in how the photograph is to be made (cf Infopaq and Painer). The subject matter of the photograph is immaterial. Hadid's contribution while it may arguably be a performance, is not one of the creative choices that lead to the creation of the photograph; her contribution may lend an aesthetic quality to the final image, but ultimately it is the photographer's choices which express his personality which count as far Jul 15 22:55
schestowitzas copyright is concerned. Hadid remains the subject matter, and since she would probably have had no clear idea what the photographer was proposing the final image would look like, it is wrong to characterise her input as collaboration, rather than acquiescence. Jul 15 22:55
schestowitzI accept that we need to differentiate between the person who makes all the key creative decisions involved in setting up a photograph (cf the producer of a sound recording or the producer and director of a film) and the person who actually presses to button to take the picture. The work of the photographer Gregory Crewdson is an example of this separated process. But that is not at all the same as a model coming up with a pose of Jul 15 22:55

They are not responding to queries but are instead directing to the website, which has no further answers. This is all so frustrating! "Jul 15 22:56
