Legal & Ethical issues

In terms of photo shoot, this might be in terms of misrepresentation, copyright, royalties

LEGAL

In terms of legal issues, these tends to be about who owns the rights to something, or whether you are slandering (saying something about someone that is not true), or sometimes it can be a legal issue of making sure your content is not breaking the law (as in there is no suffering to animals depicted)

ETHICAL

Ethics are more of a minefield and there are certain ethical considerations that we have in the west that are important to understand. Ethics is about what society views as right.

Such as – is there a balance between male/female genders

If there are,  are these stereotypical roles (eg powerful  and strong male, weak female often dressed provocatively)

Is there swearing, are there weapons?

Southpark is controversial because a lot of people disapprove of its ethics. However, the producers might argue that it is for a small cult audience who are adult enough to know what is right and what is wrong.

What are the legal and ethical issues of your production and can you justify them?

LEGAL

Issue	Solved or justified?
Copy right	The font could be seen as copy righted as I used it off of a website online and did not create it myself.
Permission for the images used	I will solve this by getting my model to sign the model release form to show I have permission to use these images for my work.

ETHICAL

Issue	Solved or justified?
Violence	The genre is ‘horror’ so my image and makeup on the cover relates to this. However, some people may disagree with this poster due to it being explicit and gory. Which could lead to people having issues or disagreeing with this movie poster.
Stereo typing	I could be seen as stereo typing, as I am using a younger girl which can cause issues with vulnerability.
