2B (constraints (legal, ethical, regulatory)
Constraints (legal, ethical, regulatory)*; (Copyright, use of under 18s in the video, discrimination of ethnicity, gender, religious belief)
Legal Constraints need to be taken into consideration when creating and distributing a media product. There are many laws and regulations set by regulators to ensure that media companies and organisations do not offend people. Regarding Ethical issues and constraints, we as a group made sure that our ideas and themes did not offend people's ethnic backgrounds, gender or religious beliefs. We also had to make sure that we did not discriminate against minority groups. For example, during the production of our music video, we made sure not to glamorise gang culture and crime. This was one of the potential issues we had to deal with because of the type of music video (hip hop) we were producing.
We also used actors who were of a suitable age. This meant that no underage teens were included in the production. It is our responsibility as a production team, to make sure our final product fits the terms and criteria of the brief and does not violate any legal constraints.It is important that we understand the laws regarding ethical issues. Moral and ethical codes may not be the law, but the way in which ethical & moral issues are handled could potentially affect the outcome of the product and the reputation of the client. Moral and ethical issues relate to whether or not certain content is “morally right” or suitable to show to the public. Morals are the principles on which one's judgments of right and wrong are based on. One of the most important issues we as a production group need to consider is copyright. We have to make sure that our product does not include any copyright material. And if we use copyright material, we have to show proof of granted permission.
