M1: Identify resolutions to the legal and ethical issues for production

Before I record any audio, I need for my radio segment, I need to make sure that I take legal and ethical considerations in order to steer clear of any legal issues that may arise in the production of my radio segment.

The first legal issue that I need to address was the release forms. Before I record any audio of the interviewees, I would need to make sure I have consent forms ready with me for them to sign. The reason for this is because they will be able to give me their consent to use and edit their voice and to distribute it when necessary. The reason why getting the interviewees to sign the consent form is so important is because if they didn’t sign anything and they hear their voice in a public platform and they feel uncomfortable with this, they have every right to fine/sue me against this as they didn’t sign anything and this would then lead to the radio segment being taken down.

These are evidence of the consent forms that I got the interviewees to sign:




The client brief has stated that I must film 5 extra pieces of audio for my radio segment, I have decided that the 5 audio I will be recording is ‘chattering/laughing, children playing, café busy atmosphere and coffee machine at a café’. With the audio of the café busy atmosphere and coffee machine at a café, I will need to ask for permission to record this as these are sounds recorded in someone’s business and I would require permission to record audio inside their business. I will also be needing permission to recording the children playing, as they will be my cousins playing, and under the age of 16 therefore I require permission from their parent’s in order to record them.

The client brief has also stated that I must have an intro and outro music for my radio segment. I will be looking for music online that will work well with my product. When it will come to finding music, I need to make sure that the music is copyright and royalty free, as I would have a right to use the song. Although I do this, I need to make sure that towards the end of my radio segment I credit the company/individual that created this music. The reason why this is a legal issue is because if I was to use a music that is copyrighted without permission and the artist found out, they have every right to fine/sue me and will lead to my radio segment to be taken down.

Due to the fact that I will be talking about businesses, I need to make sure that my interviewees don’t speak bad about the business. This is defamation which is speaking badly about a person or business and due to the fact this will be recorded for a radio station it would be considered as slander. Although the idea of my radio segment is about the love for dessert/café restaurants. I need to make sure that they don’t speak badly about the business and give information that is not true. As the employers could fine me against this which will lead to my radio segment be taken down.

Overall, taking legal and ethical considerations is really important for my radio production as anything that I don’t follow would lead to my radio segment being taken down and legal issues would arise for me and my clients.

Omniya Tajni P3: Develop ideas for sound elements for identified media purpose P4: Generate planning materials for the intended production of sound elements Before I interviewed the 3 individuals, I needed to make sure I have developed my ideas and had a solid plan. These are the different production documents I have worked on to develop my ideas.  Mind Map This is a mind map where I developed all the ideas into sub headings The 5 different sounds I eventually came up with to record are: Order being taken, Coffee/blender machines, customers chattering/laughing, scooping of ice cream and cups/spoon stirring. This will link to the dialogue of the interviewees and will allow the cafe/restaurant atmosphere to be visualised by the listeners.  Rough Script This is a rough script where I planned all the questions I will be asking each individual Location Recce This is a location recce I created before I went to interview the 3 i...

Omniya Tajni D1: Evaluate how the technical and auditory qualities meet the identified purpose When I finished creating my radio segment, I presented it to the 2 clients Tamasha and Coney and created a focus group in order to gain feedback and suggestions to anything that I can improve to make it better. Presenting my product to a fours group was a huge benefit as it allows me to gain detailed feedback from the clients included, as they would be very specific and make suggestions to what I can do to improve my final product. In my focus group, I was able to receive positive feedback as well as slight improvements that I could make to improve my final product and make it even better.  The members of the audience really liked the topic that I decided to focus on and how restaurants in the borough bring individuals together due to the fact that it is local. This allows me to meet the client brief as I was able to explain and talk about location in Tower Hamlets that mean...
