P3: Develop pre-production materials for an original media product
To do the promotional video I plan to do, I must begin the planning of my production and include all the required things to do this production, this includes my storyboards and scripts and the forms required to film such as recces and permissions, and the risk assessment, and time management...
1) I have created a mood-board of the architecture of Cambridge to give an idea about how old and new cultures and architectures mix.

Below is my completed script. I have decided to put fit them in order of scene by scene rather than page by page so the scenes are completed and there is no awkwardness. (screenshots because the software could not be embedded onto this blog.) (right) Also below is my completed storyboard for this video. (left)

M2: Legal and ethical issues
There are legal and ethical issues that could potentially impact my product, these issues are:
- Getting permission from my Narrator. (1)
- The audio-visual product will need a BBFC rating as it is being shown in a cinema at the culture festival (2)
- Considering which OFCOM and ASA codes are relevant. (3)
- However unlikely, if I don't get a signed form of consent from the person who will be voicing over as my narrator, a claim could be made be that i used their voice without their consent which makes this an issue that cannot be ignored as a consequence of this could be being wrongly sued because of a false claim.
- To attract all audiences and to also remain a professional promotional video that is competition winning, I will need to make sure the video gets the Universal (U) rating, which means it must have no inappropriate content such as (nudity and any sexual content; including innuendos and references, violence and threats, scary scenes, drug use and references, discrimination and inappropriate language.) I am sure that my promotional video wold gain a BBFCinsight that would likely look something like this: "U - Suitable for all" or "U - doesn't contain any harmful, threatening or inappropriate content". As long as this is followed, it will not be an issue.
Source of data: http://www.bbfc.co.uk/what-classification/guidelines - The fact that the promotional video could potentially become an advert, ASA regulations need to be considered, such as the privacy clause in the ASA Broadcast Code. Since I am filming publicly, it would be impossible to get the permissions from every citizen of Cambridge in line of the camera, so instead i must make sure the crowds in which are being caught on camera are not being portrayed in a bad way and I must make sure that the shots are not giving distinct details of a persons face that has not given consent, so if lots of detail is being seen, their face can be blurred out to avoid any chance of them complaining that permission was not granted for their face to be in the video. To decrease the possibility of this happening, I will not purposely aim to film people.

Section 8 of the OFCOM Broadcasting Code (privacy) may also apply to my production. OFCOM regulations are required because the clients may choose to distribute it to a local TV programme, such as Cambridgeshire News. Section 8: Privacy; applies to my production because I will be filming in a public place so I will capture people in my video. To make sure no complaints are given I shall do my best to make sure no details of faces are seen and apply a blur effect on the pubic's faces should details be noticeable.
