1. Legal and ethical
What issues could we face?
Well one main issue is Copyright when using music in our film we have
to insure that all music is copyright free we can do this by creating our
own music or downloading copy right free music. Also another
copyright issue may be that the film could resemble another film with
the title or style and the way its created so we have to be careful with
this.
Another issue was that we had to gain permission to film luckily we
were filming within school so gaining permission was relatively easy as
we only had to ask a teacher, however as we are using a child we had
to create a letter to ask permission from the child’s parents or
guardians if we could use the child in our film.
We had to insure that there was no such defamation of character or
there was nothing related to real life incidents as this could become an
issue to people as they may have been affected by such issues.
Language wise we tried to minimize any use of strong language so we
would reach our target audience of 12 and above, also we haven’t
got any scenes of violence within the film. The film doesn’t show any
scenes which I believe will offend anyone as it’s a straight forward film
with a message.
We have to insure that there is no racism shown within the movie, there
is no sexiest incidents and so on which could offend people and I
believe we have done this quite well.
