Legal and Ethical Issues
Our documentary is primarily outside in public space, when looking at locations we shall consider the wellbeing of the public like a TV Production company would we still need to consider all factors despite this not being broadcasted. We will film on Public Housing locations, Open space/parks, Roads and a shop.
- Permission to film in public places, clearance of permission (product placement)
- Privacy issues of public - This means we need to inform those around and owners that we are filming, we will have release forms on hand to give permission for individuals to be filmed either in an interview or a passerby this is to safeguard and protect them from exploitation without the go ahead. Eg. Shopkeeper..before pressing record we will inform the shopkeeper of who we are and why we are filming as well as his role in our documentary he is then given the option if so we will move on or make a change to our plan.
- Libel is the crime of publishing a false statement that could be detrimental to an individual's reputation. As filmmakers it is our job to include a form of realism and a sense of accuracy for all therefore we will not be publishing or creating stories to intentionally damage someone's reputation from made up claims for entertainment.
- The Broadcasting Act of 1996 was put in place to make new provision about the broadcasting in digital form of television and sound programme services as well as the broadcasting in that form on television or radio frequencies of other services. It adhered to change the previous act, to make provision about rights in order to televise national interest events such as sports providing for the establishment of a Broadcasting Standards Commission.
5 Main sections
- BBC Producers Guidelines - 'The BBC's Producers' Guidelines are a public statement of those values and standards and how we expect our programme-makers to achieve them.'
- Impartiality
- Accuracy and truth
- Fairness and privacy
- Respect
- Independence
These areas are all explored and regulated by the BBC producers before and during any broadcast, these are a set of guidelines for filmmakers, radio presenters and online content creators to consider in any filmmaking activity commissioned by the BBC or independently. Our group are aware of all 5 areas and will make sure they are well respected when in production. In order to stay impartial our filmmaker Timi who is discussing his area by default would be bias as this is the area he lives in despite all, we are exploring the location and its history and therefore Timi would be learning while the viewers learn in addition to retelling the other side of the story.
