Contingency plans:
For my photo-shoots I must provide relevant contingency plans for major factors
within the procedure. The main contingency plans that I must have in place are
contingency models and contingency locations. The use of contingency models
allows me to have a backup option if one of the models that I am using cannot
attend or backs out.

Cover 4: Lewis Entwistle
Contingency locations:

Legal considerations.
Copyright law:
When taking the photographs for my magazine covers the content I produce
must be original and if I break the copyright law I will be sued. If other
people/companies want to use the work I have created (photos) they must pay a
copyright fee. The law that companies in the UK must follow is the copyright,
designs and patents act of 1988. The copyright law gives the creators and
producers of some types of media products control over how they're used and
distributed. In this case the content I create is not allowed to be identical to
another photographers work.
The law of Trespass:
The law of trespass states Trespassing on to somebody elses land without a
lawful excuse is an offence itself and is one of the rare forms of tort claims in
which a claimant can bring a claim without having to prove any damage has
occurred to his land. However, it is not a criminal offence and so property owners
must bring their claim to the civil courts. Meaning if I was to use a location in my
photo-shoot without full consent or permission I would be breaking the law of
trespass and I could possibly be taken to court. However the law of trespass will
not be an issue when I wish to take the photographs on any of my magazine
covers as they are all in public places.

Obscene Publications Act:

The Obscenity of Publications Act 1959 states that it is an offence to publish,
whether for gain or not, any content that will affect those who are likely look at
the content you have produced. Meaning that the content that I produce on my
magazine covers must be appropriate and I should not include any obscene
content on them which is irrelevant for the theme of my magazines or the target
audience.
Trademarks:
Trademarks are used by companies so we cannot use their content e.g. logos, as
trademarks are known for certain types of products. If I was to use another
companys material I could possibly get sued as I would be using their product
without the companys consent. To prevent this from happening I will make sure
the models I am using are wearing non branded clothing or at least that the
logos are not visible on the clothing that the models are wearing.
Equality Act:
The equality act 2010 states that it provides protection against any type of
discrimination and promotes equality of opportunity for people who are disabled.
This act means that I cannot produce content that may be of an offensive
manner. These acts can vary from issues including issues religion, race, ethnicity,
gender, age, disability and class. The discrimination act protects people from
discrimination at work. If my content does not follow the rules of the act I could
get prosecuted. For my magazine covers I have to follow the rulings stated within
the equality act as it states that I am not allowed to discriminate against people
of any religion, race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability and class.
Ethical considerations.
Representational issues:
Representational issues are broken down into nine different sectors varying from
age, gender, social class, ability, disability, ethnicity, regional identity and
sexuality. These factors are all important to the magazine covers I am creating
because if I represent someone negatively it may cause people to not read the
magazine I am creating. I believe the three main sectors of representation that
apply to the work I am producing are ethnicity, disability and age.
Ethnicity:
On my magazine covers the models I am using are all white. In the future I will
use people of different ethnicities to make sure my magazine appeals to all
audiences appropriately, and that all teenagers of any ethnicity will want to read
the magazine I am creating.
Disability:
On my magazine covers the models I am using are all able bodied but In the
future I will use people of which have a disability to ensure the magazine covers I
am creating are appealing to all audiences appropriately. However, when using

people of a disabled state I must represent them appropriately so they are not
offended or embarrassed.
Age:
On my magazine covers the models I am using are all of a similar age of between
17 to 18 years old in the future I will use younger models to make sure my
teenage magazine appeals to all teenagers However, I will still have to represent
these models appropriately to make sure they are not offended.
