The Making of a Children’s Book
From Idea to Print
Every year thousands of new books are published. You can get a notion of that vast number at the large book fairs in Frankfurt or Leipzig. The companies producing the books that are presented here are called publishing houses. Some of the publishing houses also present books here that have been made especially for children who are learning to read. For instance this book about “Magical Animal Stories”. But how exactly are the books made which are presented here? What does a publishing house do? What people and what ideas are responsible for the publication of a book? What has to happen for a book to be printed and for us to be able to buy it in a bookstore and read it? Let’s turn back time a little and watch how, for instance, this book with the magical animal stories was produced.

Copyright
Copyright is subject to constant change to keep up with technological advances. This film enables the viewer to grasp the basic principles of this extremely intricate matter. By way of introduction, the film defines what an author is, what kinds of works there are and how long a work is protected on principle. Then the fundamental rights of an author are cited and it is shown how these are exploited in our times. In the third chapter, the respective rights are illustrated by way of practice-oriented examples of books, photos, music and films. Here, of course, an emphasis is laid on the field of education, taking into account the latest case law within the EU and Austria in particular. A further chapter highlights the problems arising with the Internet and goes into the citation law and pirate copies. All in all, in this way the viewer is made familiar with the most important basic terms and their meanings. Comprehensive worksheets and additional accompanying material invite us to deepen our knowledge of the subject.
