Legal and Ethical

Client Ethos and Reputation

Fruit bowl tech, an up and coming tech communications company whose operations lie in Milton  Keynes,  produce applications for mobile and desktop which cater to business clients and friends and family allowing them to communicate globally. The brand was initially targeted at the tech and business sectors, but they now want to connect with families and friends. With the use of targeted advertising the company are now looking to reach out to people who class themselves as explorers, mainstreamers and aspires in the 24-60 age category to promote their new app that enables families and friends to retrace their ancestors' footsteps and connect with long-lost relatives The brand's main messages include the importance of "staying in touch," "connecting to the past is as crucial as facing the future," and "family is as important as friends". 

Copyright

The requirement of permission for all aspects of a production in a film is important. Sets, actors/extras, music, inventory films, art, posters, products/brands, books, broadcast programmes, drama, props/clothing and photographs are all necessary clearance. The required clearance includes. To avoid copyright or trademark issues, it is essential for clearances to be collected. In my production we do happen to use copyright material such as the opening of the Simpsons and the royal wedding kiss that was broadcasted by the BBC, so we need to obtain licences, so we are able to use said footage, a contingency plan has been put in place just in case that we are not able to get said licences. Our use of adobe stock will not cause any problems as we already have adobe software licences. We will ensure that non-branded clothing will be used in any shots to stray away from any unwanted problems

Defamation

Defamation is regarded as an unfair, written or spoken expression which is considered damaging to a person or business' reputation when published. If they think of the production we produce as harmfully reputable or express information that is untrue to it, then FruitBowl Tech is able to take legal action against us. To ensure that we do not release contents that may be detrimental to the brand, it is important to review a full scripting report in order to ensure that copyright, registration, publicity, privacy, location and any other related rights are not affected by the script problem.

Employer/Public Liability Insurance

Insurance is critical in the film industry; without it, a production could go bankrupt due to claims made by individuals harmed by the production. Insurance is also important because without it, we will be unable to obtain a permit to use our locations because the council will not allow it. We have obtained both Public and Employer insurance. Public insurance covers a member of the public who has filed a claim against the company for personal injury or property damage. The employer liability insurance will protect all cast and crew members who were injured during the production.

Equality act


I must consider the Equality Act of 2010, which states that we are not permitted to discriminate against an employee for any reason. Everyone who is a part of the production must be treated fairly. In order not, for instance, to cause any offence or make anyone feel uncomfortable in the production or in comparison to anyone who is involved in the production, women's performers should receive equal wages to men.

Health and Safety Documentation


Health and Safety at Work Act (HSWA) 1974 - 

This Act places a legal duty on employers to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, the health, safety, and welfare of employees, and to ensure that employees and others are kept safe. Not following said act will result in a lawsuit. This same act can be liked to the employment legalization referring to the laws which protect employees from unsafe work conditions. Failing to comply to these laws will not necessarily affect the flow of production, but it will affect the reputation of our production company meaning it is unlikely for a company to work with us in the future. Having to pay fines will just mean that unnecessary money is spent when laws can just be followed 




Permission Documentation for locations

even though I've decided i have to chosen to shoot at Portishead Beach, it makes sense to send and notification email to both councils in the case of that one location becomes unavailable to shoot at. The locations are in proximity, so it, don't be too much of a hassle if one declines.


Location 1: Portishead Beach: 

after looking at the website of Portishead council i acquired an email to send my request too,

response:

Dear Mr Howard Osei

Thank you for applying for a permit to us. We would be pleased to issue you a permit if you could show us proof of your public/employer liability insurance and risk assessments for the venue. We respectfully request that you and your cast and crew keep the area clean and make use of local facilities and resources whenever possible.

Kind Regards
Portishead Council.

Music Video Analysis - Kendrick Lamar - Alright

  Analysis of song  Analysis of video Kendrick Lamar depicts the tale of the harsh reality that bear upon black people within many parts of America. To themes of black struggle and love and to what feels like a never ending with the police, these are the many themes that is used within alright video.  Introduction Within the beginning of the video, Lamar uses the establishing shot of the Oakland-Bay bridge as a framework for the subsequent visuals and messages — entirely in monochrome to contrast “black” and “white” — and messages; he also uses the establishing shot as a microcosm for American society as we explore the meaning of what it is to be black in America — contextualized by Lamar's narrative — and how he copes with his racial identity. For the next minute and a half, images of an apocalyptic Oakland are shown to the viewer in a way that suggests the end is near — a belief that Kendrick Lamar completely shares. Among these images is one of three people standing a...

Analysing genre specific editing techniques

Individual approaches and styles are used to show different genres of cinema during editing. The way these genres are edited changes the way we think about the tale and our emotions shift as a result of the strategies utilised; it catches and draws the audience in. Fast-paced editing is frequently employed in horror films. This is done to create suspense and make the audience nervous and anxious about what will happen next. They're anticipating being astonished or scared by the next quick-cut shot. The most typical shot in these types of films is a low shot. In the shots of chosen characters, low shots evoke anxiety. They intimidate people, exude authority, and believe they are superior to the other characters in the picture. In horror films, the use of high shots and close-up shots denotes vulnerability, usually in the victims. 'One Missed Call' is an example of a film that effectively employs these strategies. The victims are plagued by inexplicable phone calls in which t...

Analysing Promotional Video - Meet iPhone 12

Analysing Promotional Video - Meet iPhone 12  Context within apple commercials, the main focus within them are to promote and sell their products to the audience and do this by showing their products in various aspects of life. In this iPhone 12 advert this is exactly what has been done here. As you cans see within the advert, the phone is being used in different day-to-day scenarios that are relatable to an audience. For example, to show the speed of the phone the footage of real life is slowed and the phone speed is normal to show in a hyperbolic way that the phone is faster than life. Such hyperbolic creative shots like this is what makes the advert memorable to an audience. This is something i want to incorporate into my work  as this is a very efficient way to market a product.  Sound Non-Diegetic:   An upbeat soundtrack can be heard to match the pacing of the video. This can also be in relation to the speed of the phone. a gust of wind can be heard when the pho...
