M2- Discuss the legal and ethical requirements

When creating my projects I had to pay attention to the legal and ethical considerations to ensure that my products were safe to use or not breaking the law.

In terms of legal issues, when creating my short film, we as group ensured that we used no copyrighted footage or music as we don't have the rights to use that content. If we wished to use a piece of copyrighted work we would have to contact the owner of the rights and ask for permission to use that content. Therefore, the music we found for our short film was found on a copyright free website called freesounds.com and obviously we had the rights to our footage because we created it. The age rating for our film would probably be 15 as it contains foul language and drugs. 

When doing my radio show with my group we had to be aware of plagiarism meaning we could not create a product that already exists in the industry. This could be radio shows on TalkSport or other sports radio shows and also we could not include any content that we do not have the rights to. 

For ethical issues, during our short film there is frequent foul language which we thought was appropriate for the genre and narrative of a our short film. However, people could still take offense to foul language. Also, there is pretend drugs in the short film which may be offensive to some viewers and they could of had drug problem in the past or they still suffer from it. When creating my CV, I need to ensure that I use no foul language as that is rude and disrespectful to my employer. Also, I need to ensure everything I state in my CV in 100% true as I am giving myself an unfair advantage against other competitors for lying about what I have done.

P3- Plan the creation of a personal media profile

Image
I will create a CV to give to my employers in an interview for a job. I could also make a portfolio of all the work I have done so far.  Distribution: After I have completed my CV I will print it out so then I have a physical copy as well as a digital copy. This can be helpful as my interviewer may want to read my CV with it in front of them or I can send them it via email so they read it whenever. File type:  My CV with be completed in word and printed in word. For the digital copy, I can keep it as a word document and send to an employer or I can export it as a PDF so it an image file which maybe easier when sending E-mails.  Content: My CV will contain a short paragraph about me which basically introduces myself to an employer. I will then talk about the school and college I attended and what learned there to see it it relevant to the job I am applying for. I will also in that paragraph talk about the projects I have worked to showcase to my employer I am capable for t...

P4- Identify and repurpose

During my time studying digital media at school and college I have made many digital products that are multiple file types. The reasons I would export my products as different file types is because it would make it easier or send my work to employers to prove that I am capable of work at the standard of the industry.  When making my magazine, I used Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign to make my pages and I exported them as PDF file so they can be sent to to employers via email. If it was still in photoshop format then when they go to access it from emails, they will need Photoshop installed on their device to view my work which is impractical. Also, because it is a PDF file, it will make it easier to add onto my portfolio website. If it remained in a Photoshop format then I would not be able to add it to my portfolio.  After finishing the short film I completed with my group in Adobe Premier Pro, I the exported the file as a MP4 file so that it could be opened by my employer w...
