Location Permission
When filming, in certain places you have to ask
for location permission. If a part of land or
property is privately owned, its likely that the
owner expects to be asked for location permission
if somebody wants to film there. For an example,
if filming in a newsagent, you should ask the
shopkeeper whether its acceptable or not.
However if your filming on the streets, its publicly
owned so location permission is so much an issue.
Its against the law to film in privately owned
locations without location permission as its seen
as trespassing and a violation of privacy

 For an example. Krept and Konan

recently filmed a music video in
somebodys home so therefore had
to ask and pay for location
permission.

BECTU
Stands for Broadcasting, Entertainment,
Cinematograph and Theatre Union.
Its a right to musicians that they must
receive a form of payment every time
there music/music video is used (e.g. if
Rhiannas Work is played on MTV, she
gets paid for it)
Its important as its a right and musicians
should get recognition and credit for their
work.

BBFC
Stands for British Board of Films.
BBFC are a company that deal with
the age restrictions of videos, films,
etc.
Its a law that every film, game and
some videos have an age restriction
or warning related to the level of
explicit content.
