Constraint Describe the details of constraint Explain how the constraint will directly impact on your documentary Filming in public If you want to film in certain places you need to seek permission as some areas are not public but private property. “If you want to film on public land you will need permission from the appropriate local authority or council. They are responsible for public land, public buildings, and roads and parking. The UK Screen Agencies can help you get in touch with the appropriate local authority contact” http://industry.bfi.org.uk/publicspaces I do not need to worry too much about filming in public due to my documentary not being filmed in public. If I do film some voxpos then I will do this in public spaces and just gain the views of the normal public walking by. I will need tog ain permission from the people I will be filming also allowing them to give their permission on being filmed. Clearances and permissions (Copyright Law) Copyright law is when things such as music, archive footage and images are used. We cannot directly use sources which are not ours and which are not copyright free. This means we need to get permission if we wanted to use anything http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools http://www.copyrightservice.co.uk/ protect/p07_music_copyright I will be using the feature quite a lot as I will be having archive footage, pictures and also music from different artists I will seek permission from different contracts making sure I have the permission to use these sources in my documentary. I will also clearly point out that I will not be making any profit from the project that I will be carrying out. Media Privacy Law The Committee that was appointed in July 2011 to consider the operation of the law concerning privacy and injunctions in the UK has published its report and recommendations. Those recommendations cover, amongst other things: 1. Maintaining the status quo in the substantive law of privacy (i.e. based on common law and the Human Rights Act) but enhancing the 2. “Privacy” and the “public interest” should not be defined in statute. It would be more flexible and less complicated to continue The issue I will be facing during my project is privacy issues. I will be addressing a lot of topics and interviewing people, which means at some cases I will need to keep their identity private. This means that I will need to display the interview without showing their faces if they want to keep their identity hidden , I may also need to change their names to make sure their identity is not also been given away by their name.

Constraint   Describe  the  details  of  constraint   Explain  how  the  constraint  will  directly  impact  on  your  documentary    

Filming  in  public   If  you  want  to  film  in  certain  places  you  need  to  seek  permission  as  some  areas  are  not  public  but  private  property.    “If  you  want  to  film  on  public  land  you  will  need  permission  from  the  appropriate  local  authority  or  council.  They  are  responsible  for  public  land,  public  buildings,  and  roads  and  parking.  The  UK  Screen  Agencies  can  help  you  get  in  touch  with  the  appropriate  local  authority  contact”    http://industry.bfi.org.uk/publicspaces    

I  do  not  need  to  worry  too  much  about  filming  in  public  due  to  my  documentary  not  being  filmed  in  public.  If  I  do  film  some  voxpos  then  I  will  do  this  in  public  spaces  and  just  gain  the  views  of  the  normal  public  walking  by.  I  will  need  tog  ain  permission  from  the  people  I  will  be  filming  also  allowing  them  to  give  their  permission  on  being  filmed.    

Clearances  and  permissions  (Copyright  Law)  

Copyright  law  is  when  things  such  as  music,  archive  footage  and  images  are  used.  We  cannot  directly  use  sources  which  are  not  ours  and  which  are  not  copyright  free.  This  means  we  need  to  get  permission  if  we  wanted  to  use  anything      http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools      http://www.copyrightservice.co.uk/  protect/p07_music_copyright  

I  will  be  using  the  feature  quite  a  lot  as  I  will  be  having  archive  footage,  pictures  and  also  music  from  different  artists  I  will  seek  permission  from  different  contracts  making  sure  I  have  the  permission  to  use  these  sources  in  my  documentary.  I  will  also  clearly  point  out  that  I  will  not  be  making  any  profit  from  the  project  that  I  will  be  carrying  out.    

Media  Privacy  Law   The  Committee  that  was  appointed  in  July  2011  to  consider  the  operation  of  the  law  concerning  privacy  and  injunctions  in  the  UK  has  published  its  report  and  recommendations.  Those  recommendations  cover,  amongst  other  things:  

1. Maintaining  the  status  quo  in  the  substantive  law  of  privacy  (i.e.  based  on  common  law  and  the  Human  Rights  Act)  but  enhancing  the  

2. “Privacy”  and  the  “public  interest”  should  not  be  defined  in  statute.  It  would  be  more  flexible  and  less  complicated  to  continue  

The  issue  I  will  be  facing  during  my  project  is  privacy  issues.  I  will  be  addressing  a  lot  of  topics  and  interviewing  people,  which  means  at  some  cases  I  will  need  to  keep  their  identity  private.  This  means  that  I  will  need  to  display  the  interview  without  showing  their  faces  if  they  want  to  keep  their  identity  hidden  ,  I  may  also  need  to  change  their  names  to  make  sure  their  identity  is  not  also  been  given  away  by  their  name.

 Libel  and  defamation  Law   Defamation  of  character  occurs  when  

someone  says  something  about  you  which  is  untrue  and  which  is  damaging  to  your  reputation  or  results  in  some  other  damage  to  you  A  new  and  developing  area  of  defamation  law  is  defamation  of  character  for  statements  published  online.  The  law  of  defamation  applies  equally  to  the  internet,  however  it  can  be  more  difficult  to  establish  libel  on  the  internet.        http://www.contactlaw.co.uk/interested-­‐in-­‐suing-­‐for-­‐defamation-­‐of-­‐character.html  

This  means  that  I  should  not  present  things,  which  have  no  truth  towards  them,  I  should  also  not  give  a  bad  reputation  to  characters  and  products  which  are  not  true  and  show  them  in  a  bad  light.  During  my  project  I  will  be  presenting  case  study’s  which  will  have  to  be  backed  up  with  reference  as  I  need  to  make  sure  I  am  not  presenting  false  facts  and  statements    

BBC  editorial  guideline  1   Avoiding  Misleading  Audiences  Misleading   the   audience   means  displaying   something   as   true   or   false  but   in   fact   this   subject  or   topic  has  not  yet   been   proof   on   either   side   of   the  story  or  what  you  are  displaying   is  bias  and  fabricated.      “3.4.13  

When   quoting   an   anonymous   source,  especially   a   source   making   serious  allegations,   we   must   take   all  appropriate   steps   to   protect   their  identity.    However,  we  should  give  the  audience   what   information   we   can  about  them  and  in  a  way  that  does  not  materially  mislead  about   the   source's  status.”        http://www.bbc.co.uk/editorialguidelines/guidelines  

This  will  affect  me  when  it  comes  to  making  my  documentary  because  I  will  be  displaying  case  studies  and  also  talking  about  certain  news  stories.  I  have  to  make  sure  these  stories  are  correct  and  nothing  is  over  exaggerated  or  made  up.  This  affects  my  work  in  a  good  way  because  it  makes  sure  that  I  do  my  independent  research  before  display  anything  false  but  at  the  same  time  it  does  affect  my  work  when  it  comes  to  certain  stories  which  I  might  not  be  able  to  show  due  to  not  getting  confirmation  on  the  actual  event/topic  actually  taking  place  or  happening.    

BBC  editorial  guideline  2   Audience  Expectations   This  will  not  really  affect  me  

Page 3: grid 2

We  should  take  into  consideration  the  viewing  audience  judging  on  the  time  and  day,  which  the  program  is  shown.  First  we  must  judge  by  the  content  and  the  scenes,  which  are  going  to  be  shown  and  then  consider  if  they  are  suitable  for  every  viewer.  Here  are  some  of  the  things  we  need  to  consider:    -­‐  The  likely  number  of  children  watching  also  taking  into  account  the  weekends  and  the  holidays  in  which  they  will  most  likely  still  be  awake  later  on  in  the  night.        

as  my  documentary  will  not  include  bad  language  or  include  any  violence  and  scenes  which  people  may  find  disturbing.  This  will  be  a  positive  for  me  as  I  do  not  need  to  take  this  into  consideration  due  to  the  fact  that  the  scenes  and  the  content  are  very  suitable  for  all  ages  and  do  not  need  to  be  put  on  after  child  viewing  time  ends.  

BBC  editorial  guideline  3   Privacy    7.4.3  

When  filming  openly  in  public  and  semi-­‐public  places,  we  do  not  normally  obtain  express  consent  from  individuals  who  are  incidentally  caught  on  camera  as  part  of  the  general  scene,  unless  they  are  engaged  in  an  activity  where  they  have  a  legitimate  expectation  of  privacy  that  is  not  outweighed  by  a  public  interest  in  showing  them.        This  tells  me  that  when  I  am  filming  in  public  I  need  to  make  sure  I  have  people’s  permission  so  that  I  can  film  them.  I  also  need  to  make  sure  I  have  permission  to  film  on  private  property  and  I  also  need  to  make  sure  I  have  clear  evidence  as  permission.  I  also  need  to  make  sire  that  I  keep  to  all  the  privacy  policy.  

This  is  a  positive  and  negative  when  it  comes  to  my  project.  The  positive  thing  is  that  I  will  not  be  filming  in  any  private  property,  which  means  I  do  not  need  any  permission.  I  will  also  be  doing  vox  pox  which  I  will  just  gain  the  person  I  am  interviewing’s  permission  and  it  will  be  filmed  on  private  property  which  means  I  will  not  need  any  permission  for  that.    

Ofcom  Guideline  1      

Harm  and  offence    “In  relation  to  issues  of  ‘harm  and  offence',  regulation  has  moved  away  from  the  more  prescriptive  approach  of  old.  Rather  than  attempting  to  dictate  to  broadcasters  what  is  and  what  is  not  acceptable,  broadcasters  are  now  encouraged  to  think  more  carefully  about  the  expectations  of  their  audiences  and  providing  viewers  with  more  information,  so  they  are  able  to  make  their  own  informed  

This  means  that  I  would  need  to  tell  the  viewers  what  they  are  watching  before  hand  so  I  do  not  offend  anyone  with  the  material  I  am  about  to  show.  I  will  not  be  having  anything  offensive  in  the  documentary  so  this  will  not  affect  me  a  great  deal.

choices  about  what  they  watch.”    This  shows  that  I  have  to  make  sure  I  know  what  I  am  talking  about.            http://www.independentproducerhandbook.co.uk/232/4f-­‐due-­‐impartiality/key-­‐points.html    

Ofcom  Guideline  2      

Simulated  news  Sometimes  entertainment  shows  and  dramas,  even  documentaries,  include  fake  news  items  within  them,  which  can  seem  authentic.  The  Code  states  that  broadcasters  must  ensure  that  there  is  no  reasonable  possibility  of  viewers  being  misled  into  believing  they  are  watching  real  news  items  in  such  circumstances.      Fake  elements  added  to  the  show  must  be  pointed  out  and  labelled.  The  code  states  that  broadcaster’s  have  to  make  sure  that  the  things,  which  are  presented  in  screen,  are  not  fabricated  to  mislead  the  audience.      http://www.independentproducerhandbook.co.uk/232/4f-­‐due-­‐impartiality/key-­‐points.html      

This  means  that  I  cannot  mislead  the  audience  by  making  up  false  facts  and  figures  or  presenting  things  which  are  fabricated  in  a  news  form  which  may  mislead  people  to  think  it  is  actual  news.  This  will  effect  me  as  I  will  be  showing  some  case  study’s,  I  will  make  sure  that  I  do  not  present  it  in  a  news  form  and  also  make  sure  I  give  reference  and  if  there  is  not  reference  I  will  mention  this.    

Ofcom  Guideline  3    

1. News,  in  whatever  form,  must  be  reported  with  due  accuracy  and  presented  with  due  impartiality.  Presenting  a  story  or  item  with  "due  impartiality"  means  presenting  it  in  an  appropriately  balanced  and  fair  way.      

2.   Significant  mistakes  in  news  should  normally  be  acknowledged  and  corrected  on  air  quickly.  Corrections  should  be  appropriately  scheduled.        

This  means  that  I  must  present  all  my  evidence  and  my  findings  in  a  fair  and  just  way.  I  should  neither  over  use  nor  over  dramatize  things  and  should  keep  my  information  direct  and  very  clear.  This  will  affect  me  when  it  comes  to  the  case  study,  as  I  need  to  make  sure  I  am  not  adding  things  to  the  truth  and  also  keeping  all  my  points  clear.

Politicians  must  not  be  used  as  newsreaders,  interviewers  or  reporters  in  news  programmed  unless,  exceptionally,  it  is  editorially  justified,  in  which  case  that  person's  political  allegiance  must  be  made  clear  to  viewers.  http://www.independentproducerhandbook.co.uk/232/4f-­‐due-­‐impartiality/key-­‐points.html
