CODES OF PRACTISE & REGULATION GRID

COPYRIGHT

WHAT IS COPYRIGHT LAW? HOW DID YOU KEEP TO COPYRIGHT LAW IN

THE AUDIO AND VISUAL ELEMENTS OF

YOUR PRODUCTION? Copyright law gives people the right to own their

‘invention’ which comes down to their original idea,

once someone owns a copyright it gives them the

power to be able to have control over their

property. Once this right is enforced, it will be

against the law for anyone to take advantage of the

owners property ‘without permission’ however the

owner can make an decision to allow the use of their

property determine on the circumstances.

I was not able to keep to the copyright law for my

production because I did not get a written response

to my offered permission, but I have still used the

artist song for my music video as it was the only

song I preferred. I was also unable to keep to the

copyright law visually within my music video one of

my actors at ….. has the well know Jordan shoes

which is seen in my music video however is not on

full show. The appurtenance of an IPhone is seen

frequently within my music video as well which is

another copyright law that is broken, this copyright

law is owned by apple in which I did not get

permission from, all of the brands owners shown in

my music video can see this as a way of

advertisement or they cannot like the fact it

associated with my product and will have the right

to fine me or even make sure that my music video

gets deleted off of YouTube.

OFCOM REGULATION DESCRIBE THE PARTS OF THE

CODE RELEVANT TO MUSIC

VIDEO PRODUCTION

HOW DID YOU KEEP TO IT IN

YOUR PRODUCTION?

PROTECTING UNDER 18s

The regulations for protecting

under 18s is mainly no sexual

content and no offensive

language these two laws have a

big effect on music video as they

have to be aware of what is

shown within their music video

before 9:00pm or after 5:30am, if

the under 18 regulations is not

taken into account then the music

video can be banned from being

shown on TV.

Within my music video I was able

to keep to the under 18s

regulation, there is no sense of

sexual images or even visuals that

will effect the minds of children,

however when it come to audio

there is a few offensive languages

that would have to beeped out or

changed if it was to be shown on

TV.

HARM AND OFFENCE (Violence, dangerous behaviour,

and suicide) are the three main

thins that are to be taken into

account when broadcasting a

programme on television this is

also a way of protecting under

18’s, however there may be an

In my music video there is no

visual that show any sign of harm

and offence so because of this I

have kept to the harm and

offence rule, which means my

music video will be able to be

played without having to be

liability if it is justified.

hidden from the under 18

viewers.

CRIME The crime regulation is simple

which is that programmes should

not show material that will

encourage crime in any sense, this

has a big effect on music video’s

in mainly genres of grime/urban

video as crime and violence is

mainly shown in these type of

music video, this regulation has a

big impact on music video as

content that they may of wanted

to show to add to the song will

have to be re-thought about as

certain material can not be

shown.

In my music video I stuck to the

crime regulation as there were no

material that will encourage

crime, this means that it wold be

suitable for any age to watch

making my music video able to be

broadcasted on any channel at

any time this is an advantage for

music video as it increases the

availability and awareness.

FAIRNESS This rule is given to television to

make sure that there is fairness

within broadcasting such as the

individuals and organisations

within the programme

I was not able to stick to the

fairness within my music video as

I did not directly contact the

individuals and organisations

shown in my music video, which

you see the appearances of at …..

PRIVACY This rule is looked upon the

privacy of individuals that may be

affect by the music video made,

this is a follow up from fairness as

they are different from the other

regulation, they are not for what

the public eye see’s but for the

individuals that the producers will

have to directly contact to

reassure that the privacy of the

individual is not being vandalised

This rule was not met in my music

video as I did not as a producer of

the music video contact everyone

individual that is seen in my music

video, as there are footages in my

music video where you see the

public within the background but

are not meant to be the main

focus, because I did not directly

contact everyone that is seen in

my music video I was not able to

stick to the rule, as we see

members of the public at …

INSURANCE

OF INSURANCE COVERS

HOW WOULD IT HAVE

AFFECTED YOUR

PRODUCTION

MANAGEMENT?

PUBLIC LIABILITY Public liability insurance is to

cover the cost of any accidental

damage to the public, for example

an employee that had injury

within a company can claim

money from them, so having

public liability insurance is to

make sure that they will have

money to pay. Producer of a

music video will have to make

sure that they have4 public

liability as anyone can get hurt

during the making of the music

Public liability would have had an

huge effect on my production

because I did not have insurance

to cover accidental injury to the

public which force me to be aware

of the equipment and the people

around it, and it also limited the

creativity within shots so as we

had to be on the safe side.

equipment

COMPLETION This is an life insurance which is

dealt with between the same

This could have had an effect on
