These pictures showcase me filming for my first ident. I am filming the actor at a respectful distance, making sure he is comfortable.



Here I am filming the channel logo for my first ident. I am making sure I get the right angle and display the whole of the logo.

P3/M3 - LO2 - Framework

 

Value

Example

Pre-Production Marker/Check

Production Task Marker/Check

Post-Production Task Marker/Check

Honesty

I will keep check to make sure the music/sound effects that I choose for my identd are copyright-free.

I will research possible effects and music that will best suit for my ident and can easily be credited when used.

I will make sure to use the sounds I have selected for the ident.

I will credit the owners for the sound effects used, once my idents are finished.

Transparency

I will make sure it is explicitly shown that my ident is appropriate for the target audience (children aged 6 - 15).

I will look at previous idents made by the CBBC channel, to ensure that my ident is up to standard.

The idents I am producing will contrast from each other, while still being appropriate for the channel.

In the editing stage for post-production, I will make sure to add the CBBC logo at the end of my idents.

Privacy

For privacy reasons I will not mention the people's names who may give feedback on my ident.

I will think about who I can use to give feedback on my ident.

I will talk to those participating in giving their opinions and check if they would like me to share their personal details.

When collecting the participants` feedback and recalling it, I will make sure not to mention any personal information about those who took part.

  

Stakeholders

How are they involved in being responsible for pre-production?

How are they involved in being responsible for in production?

How are they involved in being responsible for audience feedback?

How are they involved in being responsible in post-production?

Audience

I must look at my target audience and research to know how to plan my ident in a way that fits in with the channel; but also stands out and interests the audience.

N/A

After creating the first draft of my ident, I must recruit a group of individuals that fit the criteria of the target audience; and take in their feedback, to see how I can improve my ident.

This will be the final draft of my ident, so I will use the same group of people (and a couple new others), to react to the final version; and see their updated feedback.

Technician

Before I begin the production of the idents, I must talk with the technician to collect the equipment needed; and know how long I will be able to borrow it for.

I must make sure to check with the technician to see if I have the right equipment before filming the ident.

N/A

N/A

Teacher

I will discuss my initial ideas and the risks with my teacher; in order to get advice and the approval to go ahead.

Whilst filming my idents, I will discuss with my teacher if there is any additional work I must complete.

After collecting all the feedback, I summarise everything and go through it with my teacher, to see if the everything is appropriate.

When I begin the editing stage of my idents, my teacher will check how it's all going and advise me anymore work I must do.

Competitors 

I must research and look at my potential competitors. Find a way to stand out.

N/A

N/A

Once I post the idents, I can see what the competitors will have to say.

P3/M2 - LO2 - Legal, Moral, and Ethical Issues

Legal, Moral, and Ethical Issues


When creating media products, there are multiple concerns that I will need to acknowledge:

LEGAL ISSUES:
When producing my idents I must consider the legal requirements so that there is no issue that could interrupt the process. 

MORAL AND ETHICAL ISSUES:
Ethical issues are situations based on moral conflict in society. Moral issues is the personal perspective for the values of the moral conflict.

When filming my idents, I must consider the following:

IDENT 1:

LEGAL ISSUES - An issue I must consider is the Copyright Designs and Patents Act (1988). During post-production I will make sure to look at music and sound effects that are copyright-free; in order to not get any legal action put against me.

MORAL AND ETHICAL ISSUES - When filming my ident, I must consider the concerns of treating my actor right. As this actor is an animal, I will be careful not to mistreat him and make sure he is not stressed out when performing for the camera.


IDENT 2:

LEGAL ISSUES - An issue I must consider when producing the ident is the 'Freedom Of Information Act'. I have chosen this specific act as I am using actors aged under-18. I must make sure to gain written consent from the guardian of the actor, in order to go ahead with successfully filming the ident.

MORAL AND ETHICAL ISSUES - Another issue that I must reflect is 'Stereotyping'. As my second ident is using an actor from a Pakistani background, I must be sensitive with the way he is portrayed to the camera; in order to not offend anyone.


OFCOM:

Ofcom is the regulator for the communications service in the UK. They are responsible in doing various tasks; but specifically to relate to this work, they oversee TV channels and radio. TV and radio programmes must follow the guidelines presented on the Ofcom website. This is to prevent any harmful content from being exposed to the audience. 


Here are a few features from Ofcom that may affect both of my idents:

  • Protection of under-18`s
  • Copyright
  • Stereotypes
 

Constraint

Summarise the Constraint

Weakness - How might work be an issue

Action Points - Skills, Logistics, Changes to the idea

SECTION 1: Protecting the Under-Eighteens

This code outlines the rules of protecting the under-18`s; whether they`re the audience or featured in the ident.

I must make sure that every detail shown in the idents are suitable to be shown for the target audience.

I will have both older and younger audiences view the draft product to make sure it's all appropriate.

SECTION 2: Harm and offence

This code ensures that the material included in the ident are not harmful or offensive for the viewers.

I must make sure that ‘the time of the broadcast’ is up to standard.

I will double check the conditions of the scenes of the idents (when filming and after), to make sure everything is suitable.

SECTION 7: Fairness

This code guarantees that the broadcasters avoid mistreatment towards the crew in the programmes.

I must make sure that everyone involved in the production of the filming are validated and treated fairly.

Due to the actors being under-18, I will keep contact with the guardians for consent with certain decisions.

Copyright (Requirement, owner, clearance, cost)

Copyright is an intellectual property that protects the creator`s original works from being stolen/uncredited.

There could be legal action made against me for using copyrighted audio or imagery.

I will make sure to do research on the potential features I may add in, to make sure they are copyright-free or I am able to credit the original owners.

Royalties

Royalties is a sum paid to a creator for the use of a copy of a piece of work.

I will pay the author for a piece of their work.

For me to solve this problem, I shall pay the owner for the product; but ensure that I try and negotiate for the lowest price as I am a student.

Misrepresentation

Misinterpretation is the action of interpreting something wrongly.

My first ident may not show explicit elements of what represents CBBC.

To ensure that the ident is not misrepresented with the message, I will show a collective audience and gain feedback to see how to improve.
