P3 legal and ethical issues identified and resolved

Meaning and Purpose : In this section, I will show how I obey the copyright laws in all of the pro-production , filming & editing procedure. 

Copyright is a law that protect the product of a company which avoid people to infringe on the product without permission. Person who break the law will face penalty.  In my advertisement, I had used a music soundtrack for the background. The music I download it from http://freemusicarchive.org It is a website where artist produce their music and promote themselves by letting people to download it for free. I had managed to find one suitable music from the website and download. All the music is free and more importantly, I do not need a permission from the artist to use the music. 

Filming Permission : As all the filming is done at the school area, all of the places are opened to student for any purpose use. As long as I had noticed the teacher I will be using that area, it is fined.

Offensive behaviour : As all the filming footage is only related to range of exercises, there will be no offensive content contain.


Before start shooting, I have to create a Model Release Form which allow my model to read through the detail of the working process. After they had read through all the statement in the Form, they had to fill in their personal detail in the form and sign it at the bottom.  Once they had signed it, it means they had fully understand all the term and conditions.
