The production plan document outlines the equipment, budget, legal considerations, and ethical considerations for a short film. It lists the equipment that will be used - a Canon camera and tripod - and why they were chosen. The budget section states that the film will cost £0 since existing equipment and unpaid actors are being used. The legal report addresses copyrighting the film footage, studio logo, musical score, and sound effects. Ethical considerations include ensuring the film receives an appropriate certificate rating by avoiding explicit content, and not including potentially offensive language, symbols, or other content.

5. LEGAL REPORT GUIDE
What? Who owns it? Legal Impact Any impact on use?
My film footage I do I should copyright my work in
order to protect it from people
trying to use it and claiming it as
there own.
If any of my actors are under the
age of 18 I will need to make sure
that I have permission from their
parent/guardian in order to film
them and have them in short film.
My Studio logo Me as I have designed it myself. Again I should probably copyright
it in order to protect other people
from using it without my
permission.
Musical score for my track. I will own my musical score for my
track because I will be creating it
myself.
Again I should probably copyright
or protect my musical score in
order to make sure that no one
uses it without my permission
Sound effects The website which I am taking
them from, and also I will be
creating sound effects myself.
If they are from a website online I
will need to make sure that they
are royalty free so that I am not
infringing copyright laws.

accordance to what is going to be in my film
certain things are inappropriate for certain
audiences. So for example to avoid my film
being rated a 18 I will need to make that there
is no: Sexual content, Blood/gore, Drug
use/abuse and other explicit things that would
be appropriate for anyone under the age of
I will have to rate my film based on this in
to keep in accordance with BBFC who
the age ratings of films and rates them so that
they are suitable for whose watching them.
we must stick to their rules as if not then they
are likely to rate my film at a higher age rating
which wouldn’t be too high for my target
audience and this could hinder the amount of
people watching it.
Content considerations I need to make sure I don’t have anything in
short film that might be seen as offensive to
people, for example I wont be including
offensive language, symbols,
The legal impact of me putting something
offensive in my short film is that I could receive
complaints from people who have watched
short film and found something in it that is
offensive, this could decrease the popularity of
my film with the public. Also if my short film
was found to have offensive material it could
be reported to OFCOM who could then make
me remove my film from the platforms it is on.
