Why?
School photo studio
I took this image in the studio because it had a green screen background and this can easily be removed. This meant I could add in
my own background instead of photographing the whole image.
I took this image at 15:15 on Wednesday 14th of November 2018.
This time is after school has ended and meant that the studio should no longer be in use by other students.

Why?
I used my friend as the model for the magazine. This was because she looks similar to Selena Gomez who was from my inspiration
magazine.
The lighting had to be fairly bright in order for the model to show up against the green screen background.
The costume was similar to what Selena was wearing in the inspiration magazine. This was a white business look shirt and a black
belt to bring the look together.

There is no evidence of permission as she is my friend and was happy to be a model for my magazine.

5. Hazards at the Workplace
Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
This is a legal act that ensure the health and safety and welfare of all
employees at ‘Musique’s’ workplace. It removes the risk of dangers to
their health and safety. This must be complied with by ‘Musique’. It also
relates to the building regulations and standards, this means that the
buildings that the employees enter under employment must be fit and
undamaged.

6. Legal and Ethical – Royalties, IP and
Watermarking
A royalty payment is made by someone in order to gain the right for ongoing
use of that copyrighted work. They are usually an agreed percentage of the
gross revenue created after the copyrighted work is used. This would be a
payment of all people interviewed or photographed. This also includes those
who interviewed and then wrote about in the magazine and the photographer.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royalty_payment
IP is Intellectual Property and protected by law, this includes copyright. It gives
the creators the rights to the property of their creation, and creates economic
incentive for creators as they profit from their creation when they sell it to
another owner. This is all the production of either written text or graphic
design.
https://www.gov.uk/intellectual-property-an-overview
Digital watermarking is a way to indicate who the creation is owned by and can
track any copyright infringements. It is hidden within the product when the
creation is digitally produced.

7. ‘Musique’ has to follow the data protection principles, this makes sure that sensitive information of
their staff, clients, interviewees and other personnel, is
• used fairly, lawfully and transparently
• used for specified, explicit purposes
• used in a way that is adequate, relevant and limited to only what is necessary
• accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date
• kept for no longer than is necessary
• handled in a way that ensures appropriate security, including protection against unlawful or
unauthorised processing, access, loss, destruction or damage
This means that all data collected from their clients through subscription application, cannot be
used for anything that the customer has not agreed to, and can only be used when is necessary, it
also means that ‘Musique’ must remove their data if they stop their subscription to the magazine.
They must never give any personal data to any other organisation or personnel unless agreed by the
customer.

12. Legal and Ethical
To comply with all these legal and ethical necessities there
are a few main things that journalists need to do and not do.
One main thing is to respect their privacy, if the interviewee
is uncomfortable then they must not pressure them for an
answer or continue to talk about that subject.
Another thing they must do is ensure that all published
material is accurate. This can otherwise mislead readers and
cause harm to the interviewee.
I have made my magazine comply with the legal and ethical
needs, through proofreading everything that I have included
in it. The images are accurate and represent the model
effectively. The cover lines I created do not misrepresent
those who they are about and are as accurate as they can be.

13. Conclusion
Overall, there are many risks associated with producing a print based
media project. However, these can be overcome with being careful in
every place that we visit. There are also some legal and ethical issues
that must be taken into consideration in order to produce the best
magazine possible. This includes the accuracy and happiness of
interviewees and possible future interviewees.
