Section T"ree: <egal considerations

Filming in public Are you filming in pu#lic What precautions will you need to ta)e Will you need to as) permission, inform police We will be filming in a public place, therefore we will need to make sure that, while filming, no one enters the scene who is not supposed to be there. We will need to make sure that the actors are safe and that we have the proper permission We will not have to inform the police as we will not be running around waving guns and scaring the general public.

(egal and ethical considerations

Clearances and permissions Do you need to get permission to film anywhere or interview anyone $under *+'

Currently it is unlikely that we will need permission as everything will be filmed in public places and all of the people being interviewed in our documentary are above 1 years of age !urthermore we will not be using any third party property as most segments will be filmed on either college grounds or at students houses

Pri'acy Are you secretly filming on location Does the person #eing interviewed )now what it is for <ibel and defamation What will you do to prevent #eing ta)en to court

We will not be secretly filming on location. "s our documentary is a spoof, all of the interviews will be scripted and arranged prior to the interview. #herefore we will not be breaking any privacy laws as all of the interviewees are actors. $nfortunately, our spoof documentary is likely to offend a minority of people. #his is because our documentary focuses on intellectual disability. In order to avoid being taken to court and to minimise this offence, we will include a number of disclaimers at the beginning of the program stating that the people in the documentary are %ust actors, that it does not represent anyone and that it is only a fiction.
