Industry &

Professional

Codes

How might it affect your work

negatively?

(Planning and research as well as

production)

How did it affect your product

positively?

(Planning and research as well as

production)

Legal – Health

& Safety

In terms of health and safety this did

not affect my documentary in any kind

of negative way. This is because, I

carefully chose the locations I would

be filming at and the times I would be

filming. Another reason is because, for

each location I created a risk

assessment sheet outlining any risks

there would be when I am filming. For

example, for my vox pops I was filming

in Ilford town centre and some of the

risks were that the equipment could

get stolen or lost, someone got knock

the equipment over while filming, or it

could of rained/snowed while I was

filming.

To overcome these risks, I made sure

someone I was always with the

equipment, I set the equipment up

where it could not be knocked over, I

checked the weather at all times and I

took an umbrella in case it rained

unexpectedly.

This affected my product positively

because by creating the risk assessment

sheets I was outlining any risks and

hazards I would face at my filming

locations.

I created a risk assessment sheet for

every time I went out to film in a

different location which outlined the

different risks and hazards at that

specific location and uploaded each of

the risk assessment onto my blog.

For example, when I went to do my vox

pops in Ilford town centre I created a

risk assessment sheet for that location

and uploaded it onto my blog.

This would have affected my work

negatively, if I did not overcome those

risks by creating risk assessment

sheets or checking the weather

whenever I was going out to film. I

would have been unaware of any

risks/hazards that would have been at

the locations I was filming at and this

would of increased the risk of the

equipment get damaged or somebody

getting injured.

Legal –

Copyright

This did not affect my work in any kind

of negative way as I did not break any

copyright rules as I had permission for

any archive footage and music used in

my documentary. I had e-

mailed/telephoned the rightful owners

of the archive footage and the music

used in my documentary and asked if I

could have permission to use it in my

documentary.

Here is the link to my documentary to

used in my documentary:

d

The positive effect this has had on my

work is that I was able to use different

types of archive footage and music in my

documentary. For example, I had used

three different video clips going from old

to new as an introduction for one of my

interviews which made my documentary

more appealing to my target audience.

Also because, I had permission to use

the music in my documentary I chose a

fast paced song which summed up my

documentary and went well with what

was included in my documentary.

Legal - Libel This did not affect my work in any kind

of negative way as I did not say

anything bad or something which one

on my interviewees or anyone who

views my documentary could take as

an insult or something offensive. If I

had did that, then the BBC could have

refused to air my documentary or my

target audience may have refused to

view my documentary.

This had a positive effect on my work

because, while I was filming my work

and writing up my shooting script I knew

that I could not include anything that

would offend one on my interviewee’s

or any member of my target audience.

I could have broken this law by saying

something offensive about one of my

interviewee’s while I was introducing my

interviewee.

Legal – Data

Protection

This had affected my work in a

negative way because, when I did my

initial contact list I displayed my

potential interviews contact details

without their permission and I could

have got in trouble by being fined or

sued.

This had affected my work in a positive

way because, I had to display the names

of my interviewee’s and crew members

for this project on my school blog to

school my subject teachers.

list:

Legal & Ethical

– Race And

Ethnicity

This did not affect my work in any kind

of a negative way as I did not focus on

one race or ethnicity throughout my

documentary.

I also did not comment about race or

ethnicity throughout my documentary

either. This was because; my

documentary was aimed at all

ethnicities and races and not just one

race and ethnicity.

This did affect my work in a positive way

as my vox pops were people from a wide

range of different races and ethnicities.

I did this because, I could show my

target audience that my documentary

was not just focusing on one race and

ethnicity but it was aimed at all races

and ethnicities.

Here is a link to my documentary where

you can see during my vox pops at the

beginning that I have used people from a

wide range of different races and

ethnicities:

Legal & Ethical

– Privacy

This did not affect my documentary in

any kind of negative way because, I

had permission for all my interviews,

archive footage, music and vox pops in

my documentary.

I could have only broken this law if

there was someone behind the person

while I was filming which there was

not so I did not break this law as I took

the people I was using for my vox pops

to one side so I did not get anybody

else in the camera shot or angle.

This affected my documentary in a

positive way because, before I filmed

each interview I had got permission from

the interviewee via telephone/e-mail

which insured that I had permission to

conduct the interview and film them.

In most cases I had to contact the record

label to ask if I could have an interview

with the person I would have liked to

interview and I would have had to

arrange a date and time like that. Also

when I was filming in a public

area/location I had to be careful when I

was filming that I did not get anyone

that was not meant to be in the shot in

it.

Here is the link to view all of the e-mails

I had sent and received to my

interviewees:

Project Specific

- Budget

The budget which I had been given at

the start of the project was £5000.

This did not affect my project in any

kind of negative way because, I did not

go over this budget. I had a slight

problem as I had just kept under this

budget and that could have affected

me in a negative way but it didn’t.

Here is the link to my budget for this

project:


012/01/unit-4-budget.html

This had affected my project in a positive

way as this budget was not real as the

equipment which I required was

provided to me by the school as this was

a school project. By that I mean I did not

have to pay any location fees, copyright

fees etc.

Project Specific

- Technology

This did not affect my project in any

kind of negative way as I felt the

equipment and technology which I

used throughout my project was good

and I knew how to use the equipment

and technology which I had to use.

This had affected my project in a positive

way as the equipment which was given

to me to film my documentary was very

good and I could film different shots

with different angles using the

equipment given.

Also the software which I had used to

edit my documentary was good as you

could do different things using that

software to make the documentary look

more professional and appealing to my

target audience.

All the equipment and technology used

throughout this project helped me

produce a good quality documentary.

TV Industry

Specific –

Regulatory and

self-regulatory

(BBC)

Out of all nine of the BBC ethical codes

used I have broken one of the ethical

code which is privacy.

I broke this ethical code when I was

creating my initial interview contact

list for my content research as I

displayed my interviewee’s details

without having their permission to

display the details. I could get fined or

sued for breaking this ethical code and

my documentary could also not be

aired on the BBC because, of this.

The BBC ethical codes have affected my

documentary in a positive way because,

there were laws which I had to stick to

and follow which helped me make a

good documentary without leading my

target audience on or telling them the

wrong information.

TV Industry

Specific –

Regulatory and

Out of all seven of the OFCOM rules

none of them had affected my work in

any kind of a negative way as they

The seven OFCOM rules had affected my

work in a positive way because, by

following them laws which I had to stick

self-regulatory

(OFCOM)

were there to follow which I did and

by doing that I did not break any of the

laws set by OFCOM.

to it helped me produce a good

documentary which informed, educated

and entertained my target audience on a

whole.
