Secondary Research
The above news articles from the Easton Daily Press are
about Gorleston, most of which include different element of valuable history
about the local area.
This project is about making people aware of the potential
their hometown has, this is a similar aim to how I want to direct my own
documentary. Opening people’s eyes to what is in front of them is important and
lots more people should get involved.
This projects is about acknowledging normal people (meaning
those who aren’t famous) doing extraordinary things to help others, not for
profit but out of the kindness of their hearts. The stories are shot in an
expository documentary style with beautiful shots throughout of different
aspects of the person’s life.
Filming in
Public
Filming in
public requires permission from the local authority or council, whereas if
filming was to take place on someone’s land/property permission from the owner
would need to be given. However, to show the outside of a place (including a
company name) along with passers-by permission is not required.
If during
filming any firearms, replica firearms, explosives, police officer uniforms,
police vehicles permission from the local police is required. It is also
required by the police and the Highways Department of the local authority if
any filming is to take place on a public road.
Libel and
Defamation
“Defamation
is an area of law that provides a civil remedy when someone’s words end up
causing harm to your reputation or your livelihood. Libel is a written or
published defamatory statement.” (http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/defamation-slander-libel)
I do not think I need to consider libel or defamation when producing my documentary as my documentary I have proposed is about showing people who don’t particularly like Gorleston that it’s a beautiful place. However, if I was making a more controversial documentary then I may have to consider libel or defamation.

Ofcom
Broadcasting Code
In making
my documentary I believe that I am not risking infringement (“an act that
disregards an agreement or a right” - https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/infringement) of the Ofcom Broadcasting Code as
it will not include any offensive/abuse content of any sort, anyone involved
will be given a talent release form to sign (for minors their parents will be
given the form), e.c.t. I plan for my documentary to only be about showing
beauty in the local area, nothing else therefore there is no risk.
