The production plan outlines the cast, crew, budget, and schedule for the film. The main characters Molly and Ian will be played by Holly Early and Nathan Searle respectively and will be in most scenes. A couple played by Joe Manzi and Kat Douglas will be in one scene. Scott Renton will assist as crew. The £100 budget will cover props, makeup, and meals. Specific dates are allocated for storyboards, production schedule, uploading, and evaluation to suit the production needs. The film will launch in October 2020 to target winter audiences.

What? Who owns it? Legal impacts? Any impacts on
use?
How might I solve any legal issues?
Filmed footage I do I should try and copyright my footage
so that others will have to ask
permission from me to use it so that I
will always get credit for my footage.
I will need to make
sure that all my
actors are happy to
be in the film and
for me to post it for
others to see. If
they are under 18
are needed to get
permission from
their parents and
let them know
where it will be
shot.
I will make sure that I go around making the
film in the right way and make sure my clips
are original in order for no issues to arise
about the footage. I will take evidence photos
while making the film as well.
Studio logo
and sequence
I will own it as I will make
it myself in Photoshop
I will need to make sure that I am not
copying anyone as there is lots of
copyrighted logos out there.
Additional
video footage
found online
I may use some additional
footage from YouTube.
I need to make sure that any footage I
use does not have any copyrights to it
or if it does need to ask permission
from whoever owns it to use it.
I will send an email and ask permission from an
additional footage I use for my film.

5. What? What are the impacts on the film? Legal impact How might I resolve any ethical issues?
Certificate rating for the film In my filmI won’t be able to swear
very often, and I can’t show too
much violence as it is a 15+ film. As
well as that I couldn’t show any
torture scenes or sex scenes as that
could only be for 18+ films.
The British Board of Film Classification is in
charge of the age certificate in the UK. If
you do not adhere to what they say for that
age rating they can increase the age rating
which will reduce the amount of people
that are able to watch your filmand may
impact what age ranges you want the film
to appeal to.
I will make sure that I follow all the
guidelines of the BBFC in order to make
sure that as many people are able to
watch my short filmfor my intended
target audience.
Content considerations My filmmay have some sensitivity
themes about abuse which may be
hard for some viewer to watch if
they have had past experiences with
it. This means I need to filmthis in a
way that means it will not offend any
of them and will need to choose the
words for my script well as well.
I may have to put helplines at the end of
the film so that if anyone is affected by the
film, they will sort help in order for them
not to have a long-term impact on their
lives because of the film.
I will make sure that I do not upset
anyone with very graphic or over dramatic
scenes. I will also put helplines in my film
as well.
Online upload considerations Length: Films need to be 40 minutes
or less. We prefer most films sit on
the shorter end of that spectrum—
the average filmwe feature is 10
minutes. The longer your film(over
15 minutes), the tougher judges we
tend to be.
Premiere Status: No premiere status
is required; however, we give
preference to films that haven’t yet
By following these guidelines for this
website for short films it means a wide
range of audiences can view the filmat no
cost and will follow other website for short
films guidelines as well.
