LEGAL AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS.

Our film trailer will follow the rules and regulations of the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification). As our short film will be certificated as an 16+, it will include the following; Strong violence, discriminatory language and behaviour. The film trailer however will include based on the narrative: strong horror, strong blood and gore and strong violence. The strong horror that will be included in our film trailer will be tension-building sounds such as screams, heartbeats and also clips showing of terror. The strong blood and gore will include scenes with fake blood to make it seem more realistic. They may be strong violence as it will be scenes when they are covered in blood, tied up or locked in a room. We must follow the rules set by the BBFC because the content for an 18 is not appropriate for younger viewers, so that we can correctly certificate our film trailer. The watershed is the point in time after which programmes with adult content can be broadcasted which applies to our film trailer as it includes adult content that is 18. For our music we need to get permission for copyright, we will do this by getting our music off Royalty free websites, this is important so that we aren’t using music that we haven’t got permission for and that would be illegal to use for our consent. Data protection 1998 Law, we will need permission off every individuals that are featured in our video footage, for it to be published or broadcasted, we will use a release and consent to get people’s permission so they will be allowed to be broadcasted.

1.11 Violence, its after-effects and descriptions of violence, whether verbal or physical, must be appropriately limited in programmes broadcast before the watershed (in the case of television) or when children are particularly likely to be listening (in the case of radio) and must  also be justified by the context.

1.14 The most offensive language must not be broadcast before the watershed (in the case of television) or when children are particularly likely to be listening (in the case of radio).

2.7 If a demonstration of exorcism, the occult, the paranormal, divination, or practices related to any of these is for entertainment purposes, this must be made clear to viewers and listeners.
 2.4 Programmes must not include material (whether in individual programmes or in programmes taken together) which, taking into account the context, condones or glamorises violent, dangerous or seriously antisocial behaviour and is likely to encourage others to copy such behavior. (See Rules 1.11 to 1.13 in Section One: Protecting the Under-Eighteens.) 
2.3 In applying generally accepted standards broadcasters must ensure that material which may cause offence is justified by the context (see meaning of "context" below). Such material may include, but is not limited to, offensive language, violence, sex, sexual violence, humiliation, distress, violation of human dignity, discriminatory treatment or language (for example on the grounds of age, disability, gender, race, religion, beliefs and sexual orientation). Appropriate information should also be broadcast where it would assist in avoiding or minimising offense.

Types of Documentary

1. The Expository Mode -voice of God-
• This mode is what we identify with documentaries.
• It emphasises verbal commentary – often using a narrator.
• Addresses the spectator directly, with titles or voices that propose a perspective, advance an argument or recount history.
• Most associated with Television News programming.
  
  
2. (detailed) – Expository Mode
• Images become subordinate to the voice-over narration. They serve to illustrate, illuminate or act in counterpoint to what is being said by the author.
• Editing in the expository mode serves to maintain the continuity of the spoken argument or perspective. - this is called evidentiary
  
  
3. The Poetic Mode -subjective, artistic, expression-
• Stresses the lyrical, rhythmic and emotional aspect of the historical world.
• Sacrifices filmic conventions for example, continuity editing and a situated time and space, to explore associations between images, objects and patterns.
  
  
4. The Observational Mode -window on the world-
• Attempt to observe aspects of the historical world as they happen.
• Typically have no voice-over commentary, no supplementary music or sound, no intertitles, no historical reenactments, no behaviour repeated for the camera and no interviews.
• Social actors behave as if no filmmakers were there.
  
  
5. The Participatory Mode
• Involves an interview between filmmaker and the subject. – this allows the filmmaker to address people who appear in the film, formally – this is opposed to addressing the audience through voice-over commentary.
• Also involves some participation from the filmmaker as well as social actors – this gives the audience a sense of what it is like for the filmmaker to be in a given situation and how that situation alters as a result.
  
  
6. The Reflexive Mode -awareness of the process-
• The spectator is the focus of the attention.
• Speaks not only about the historical world, but about the problems and issues of representing it.
• Documentaries set out to re-adjust the assumptions and expectation of its audience, not add new knowing to existing categories.
• From a formal perspective – reflexivity draws our attention to our assumptions and expectations about documentary form itself.
• From a political perspective – reflexivity points towards our assumptions and expectations about the world around us.
• Both of these rely on techniques that attempt to jar us, and sever our engagement with the film so that we are forced to think about filmmaking as a construct.
•  Involves Expository; Voice-of-God narration; Images
  
  
7. The Performative Mode -filmmaker as participant-
• Performative mode of documentary raises questions about what knowledge is.
• It sets out to demonstrate how the specificities of personal experience provide entry into an understanding of the more general processes at work in society.- this is done by stressing the emotional complexity of experience from the perspective of the filmmaker.
• Stresses the tone and mood, more so than arguments and evidence.
• Films primarily address the spectator.
• Calls for an emotional responsiveness from us that acknowledges an understanding of the event, more so that asking us to gain knowledge from it.
