OFCOM BROADCASTING LAWS ON FACTUAL & CURRENT
AFFAIRS
These laws have to be abided by, by all film makers
who want there program on the television.
HARM AND OFFENCE TO YOUTHS
Under 18’s are protected from harmful material by
offensive programs being scheduled later on in the
night.
9pm – 5:30pm is the scheduled time that programs
deemed harmful or offensive are on Tv, the later the
program the more adult nature it is.
Harmful material includes – strong language, violence,
sexual behaviour.
The audience have to be pre-warned about the
harmful content which may be in the program.
Programs should not condone violence and
inappropriate actions, unless for educational
purposes or in a scenario.
In programs covering the topics of sorrow and
sensitive subjects has to be edited carefully so
that no one feels offended by it.
TRUTH & ACCURACY
When watching a program either factual or a
news story, everything shown has to be true, the
producer cannot mislay an audience to think
something which isn't true
Our Program is going to be a imitation of
previous events, so will be staged but be a
serious film not mimicking or making jokes
about peoples true beliefs and sitings.
SECRET FILMING
When secret filming is taking place, the
individual being filmed is not allowed to be in the
film for any other purposes, secret filming is a
very strict border to cross because there are so
many laws on privacy.
Secret filming will not effect my program
because we have a health and safety form for
where we are filming and we are not filming
anyone without there permission
PAYMENTS
When paying a source or contributor for work to
do with your film you must have approval from
the broadcaster,
When dealing with a previous convict, advice
must be taken from a lawyer before paying or
making promises to the previously convicted.
No promises must be made about a payment to a
client or outside contributor before the work has
been done.
RECONSTRUCTIONS
When filming an event that has previously taken place,
what happened cannot be twisted or altered, must be
as accurate to what is known as possible.
Misleading the audience to believe a reconstruction is
true cannot happen if a reconstruction is false or
altered the producer must state it on screen.
Our film will contain reconstructions to a extent, hence
we will not be able to film actual ghosts we will have to
make our own paranormal activities occur.
POTENTIALLY OFFENSIVE MATERIAL Clips containing discriminatory content in it must only
be used in context to the scene, when filming a film
with strong language or violence advice should be
found from legal & compliance office.
When a film is complete and ready or television a
commisioning editor will put on screen a warning to
parents guardians etc. that this will not be suitable for
people under a certain age.
Our film may be potentially offensive due to activities of
the paranormal occurring but warning messages will be
put at the start of the film.
FAIRNESS & PRIVACY In a program containing allegations against
someone else or criticizing something, the
allegation must be just to avoid unfairness, but if
the target subject has to be exploited for wrong
doings the producer must speak to there
programme lawyer.
When filming undercover or without someone
knowing the producer must take with great care
because of infringement of privacy laws, must be
warranted by public interest.
COMMERCIAL REFERENCES
During programs a branded product or sponsor
of the company/show cannot be placed on screen
as it is advertisement.
No catch phrases or known slogans of a brand
can be used in conjunction with the product on
screen.
Our film will have to have all logos or brand
names hidden, but otherwise we will not be
advertising any brands or companys.
CRIMINALITY
When dealing with criminals or previously
convicted the producer must take great care in
conditioning contracts and not paying up front as
criminals are liable when it comes too insurance,
must obtain broadcasters approval before using a
criminal.
IMPARTIALITY
When filming a program on current affairs to do
with parliament or problems facing the world at
the current time the producer must consider the
fact that you cannot have a one sided
programmes you have to be impartial taking
neither sides of the argument, simply film both
sides of the argument or subject.
PEOPLE UNDER 18 When dealing with people under the age of 18, extra
care must be taken compared to over 18s because of
the age the work could cause distress or anxiety.
Under 16’s parent or guardians permission must be
obtained before using them unless what they do is a
small input.
The same sort of regulations take place when dealing
with disabled or people who are unable to give consent
themselves,
Our film is filmed by people over 16 and there
permission has been obtained
DEALING WITH CONTRIBUTORS
When working with contributors you should
always have forms explaining what they are to be
doing or what producers are to be doing with
them so that there are no confusions later on
when it comes to payment etc. and so you as a
producer face no difficulties later on in
production.
NICK BLOOMFIELD DOC
The documentary on Aileen Wournos the murderer
filmed up until her death sentence, this documentary
when being filmed would have had many media
regulations Nick Bloomfield had to abide by, whilst
filming these are the things he would have had to think
about and how they effected or if they affected his
documentary.
AILEEN DOCUMENTARY
Accuracy - Aileens story was hard to get to the bottom of so
Bloomfield had to try and not convey the wrong thing to the
audience.
Balance - The documentary had to equally show that Aileen
was in the wrong for murdering all those people but also had to
show that she was human and had a side to her story as well.
Impartiality - Nick Bloomfield was not allowed to get
emotionally involved or attached to Aileen because she was a
murderer and that would of made his documentary one sided.
Objectivity - In the documentary Bloomfield had to make a lot
of decisions and stick by them & know what he wanted as his
end product.
Subjectivity - Bloomfields internal thoughts were not conveyed
in the film, he showed restraint when it came to emotions
involving Aileen.
AILEEN DOCUMENTARY
Opinion - Bloomfields opinions did not really come across in
the documentary he showed his openness to both sides of what
was going on but never conveyed his own feelings.
Bias - Bloomfield was slightly bias because he had been filming
Aileen for a while and built up a relationship with her, but in
the overall outcome the documentary was not bias because
both sides of what was happening were equally shown.
Representation - Aileen was presented as crazy in some parts
and a normal down to earth woman in other sections which
confuses the audience but shows she cannot be trusted by her
having a split personality.
Access - The producers had a lot of access to Aileen and
through being able to speak and meet with her he could
emotionally speak to her, becoming friends.
Privacy - Aileen still didn’t tell Nick a lot of things for the
reason it could of jeopardized her death sentence which she
wanted to happen.
