Short Film

I made this short film on a walk I went on from Burley up to the moor. I saw the landscapes and scenery and thought it could make for very nice footage for  short film with the sheep grazing and tress blowing in the wind.

L01- Legal Requirements for Filming

Legal Filming Requirements 

Local authority

If you want to film on public land you will need permission from the appropriate local authority or council. They are responsible for public land, public buildings, roads and parking. The UK screen agencies can help you get in touch with the appropriate local authority contact.

Police

You will need the full co-operation of the local police force if you plan to film on a public highway or use special effects, explosives or fire arms (including replicas). You will also need permission to portray uniformed police officers or marked police vehicles on film.

You should inform the local police force in writing of any planned filming within its jurisdiction. The UK  screen agencies can help you arrange this process.

Filming on public roads

Before filming on a public road you must contact the local police and the Highways Department of the local authority. Both will need to make sure that your plans are safe and pose no threat to road users. If you plan to stage stunts, a stunt co-ordinator should be involved in any planning discussions. 

You will need details of the safety conditions covering any tracking vehicles you hire and also find out what permissions and rights clearances have been granted at the location – for example, are you entitled to film the signage on any commercial premises in the area?

Advice about permission and Rights clearances

If you film an actor inside a store or restaurant, you need written permission to use the location and also to show the chain’s name or trademark.

If you film outside a store or restaurant you do not need permission to show its name or trademark – however, if the location chosen is used to communicate a negative message in your film (for example, a film about ‘poisoned restaurant food’) you may risk legal proceedings.

You do not need to ask passers-by for permission to feature their faces in a film. Under UK law, the copyright of film shot in a public place resides with the filmmaker.

Consents - under 16s

If a programme contributor is under 16, in addition to obtaining their consent to take part, you should also obtain consent from his/her parents or guardians, or other person aged 18 or over with legal responsibility for the under 16. Ideally, both parents’ consents should be sought for the under 16’s contribution, or from those who have ‘parental responsibility’ for the under 16. However, this may not always be possible or practicable. If an under 16’s parents are divorced or separated, parental consent should, in the first instance, be sought from the parent the child resides with and who has ‘parental responsibility’. As to whether or not consent should be sought from the other parent as well (or if you have any other doubts), seek advice from the programme lawyer. 

Radioactive Music Video

This is the music video for the song Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. This particular music video interests me due to the fact they have a fight club, and the things fighting are soft toys. I liked this video because of the abstract nature it takes. The main fighting champ in the ring is very clear to see and is physically portrayed as very mean looking and evil. Coming to the part of the music video where the girl in the hoodie played by Alexandra Daddario bring the small, innocent looking, pink teddy bear we as the audience are put into a false sense of security because we later learn that this teddy bear is very powerful and goes on to defeat this mean, brute champion fighter. Its a twist in the story.

About Me

My name is Patrick Campbell. This blog i will be writing is about my course and portfolio through media. I am very interested in the acting side of media in films and TV.

I would like to explore more into what goes into making a film and the stages required to create a piece of entertainment. In this blog I will be posting adverts, film posters/trailers and music videos that interest me and will hopefully help me to create a short film.
