2. Producers must undertake extensive research to make
sure the reconstruction is accurate
 All reconstructions must be fair and accurate.
 If there is a risk that viewers might be misled,
reconstructions should be labelled as such to avoid
confusion.
 When there is risks of making distress by
reconstructing actual events,
 In supersize me there are no actual reconstructions

3.  Individuals must not really be filmed or videoed secretly
for inclusion in a programme unless been accepted by
the broadcaster in advance.

 Programme-makers have to be set in writing their
justification for covert filming/recording.
 Before any secret videoing/filming is undertaken, there
are detailed guidelines you must
 They film with out any other people knowing there doing
so,
 In supersize me there are no secret filming

4. Producers must be impartial, no matter what they believe
 News, in any form, HAS to be reported with due rightness and presented
with due impartiality
 The term “due” is significant what it means is that impartiality must be
adequate and appropriate in all the circumstances of the particular story.
 Broadcasters do not have to give equal time to each and every view or
argument
 Any proposal to involve politicians in news programmes, other than as
interviewees, must first be referred to the commissioning editor for approval
who, in turn, should seek advice from the programme lawyer.

5.  Programmes HAVE to be..
 HONEST- must tell the truth no matter what
 FAIR- should be fair to the audience
 ACCURACY – must be accurate
 In supersize me it was honest about the facts,
and was fair for them to tell the audience that
it was wrong as it was helping people who
needed it, the accuracy of supersize me was
very accurate

6. Producers must not pay subjects
 You must not make any payment or promise .
 Where criminal proceedings are VERY LIKELY and
foreseeable, again you can not pay or promise to pay a
potential witnesses with no first consulting with your
commissioning editor and stealing advice from the
programme lawyer.
 in supersize me the main man who was eating
MacDonald's was paid to do what he did, as he chose to
do it

7.  producers must hide from the very unfair treatment
of individuals or organisations in programmes.
 Any significant infringement of privacy of an
individual or organisation, in the making or broadcast
of a programme, has to be warranted by the public
interest.
Fairness and privacy in supersize me the documents by
telling the audience fair facts,
And not giving unfair facts that are not honest so
instead of not being honest they give to sides of the
story

8. Producers must take due care with under age children
 Due care must be taken with regard to the physical and
emotional welfare and the dignity of people under 18 years who
are involved in programmes. Further, unnecessary distress or
anxiety must not be caused.
 Parents should be required for individuals under 18 appearing in
programmes, unless their contribution is little and uncontroversial,
or it is warranted to proceed without such consent.
 Under 18s seem to think that they are untouchable. That they
can get away with anything. Is it now not time for people under
18 to face harsher punishments?
 In supersize we they made the documentary suitable for under
18`s as they didn’t use rude language,

9.  Contributors to programmes have a right
to know:
 what a programme is about.
 if they are taking part in a debate or
discussion, the range of views to be
represented .
 and who the other participants will be
whether their contribution will be live or
recorded, and whether it will be edited.

10.  The commissioning editor, on the advice of the
programme lawyer, will ensure that an on-air warning is
given to viewers, where appropriate
 Material with the potential to cause offence e.g. strong
language, violence, sexual violence, explicit sexual
portrayal etc. must always be justifiable by the context.
Advice should be sought from
 the legal & compliance department at an early stage.
 In supersize there was no offensive behaviour no rude
language but what could of offended people is when
they were having interviews they would relate stuff on fat
people and that could offend some audience

11.  ● Programmes involving criminals or about
criminality require special care and are
likely to be legally contentious.
 Producers face problems with issues
surrounding criminality
 This wouldn’t apply in supersize me as there
was no criminality

12.  Product placement is not allowed
 Sponsoring and sponsored programmes
must defiantly not be able to contain
promol references to the sponsor it is
activities or products or services

13. Who's really behind the screen?
 Reconstruction: we are going to try and make it as accurate as
possible, and not to misled , we will reconstruct a person to
someone who she thinks it’s a good looking guy when actually its
not, we will be filming the girl meeting the stranger
 Truth and accuracy: me must not lie or misled any one in our
documentary we must be fully truthful we must show evidence
 Protecting under 18 year olds: we must not use any harmful or
offensive violets towards others.
 Secret filming: we will need the persons permission we may also set
up up a reconstruction which hopefully will look like secret filming
 Fairness and privacy: me must make sure our documentary is fair to
others and is good for peoples privacy, and make sure we do not
do stuff without permission,
