D1 - Discuss legal and ethical constraints

D1 – Discuss the legal and ethical constraints within the planned campaign

Legal
Consequently, permission will be needed from Deyes High School to use their images in the print poster and therefore will have to sign a consent form. This allows the image to be used freely from the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act within the production of my poster advert and to be published to the public when completed. However, other than the 2 images used of Deyes High College and their logo, most of design work will be created by myself therefore will not governed by copyright laws. Permission is also needed from the students who featured in the audio advert as it will be published to the public. These students will need to fill out a consent form which states exactly what the use of the advert is for and where it will be published. Additionally, as the advert contains music in the background, we had to acquire royalty free music which is not copyrighted to ensure we don’t get into trouble with the copyright holder and the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act.
When creating my content, I must ensure I follow the Obscene Publications Act as the adverts are targeted at younger teenagers, so the content must not have a negative influence on this audience. For example, the adverts can’t make the young audience stress about their future, so the advert shouldn’t suggest that it is a bad thing if they don’t know what they want to do after they finish school.
 On both adverts I must follow the Libel Law, so I don’t publish false facts about the school to make it sound better. Furthermore, I will need to avoid being biased in my radio advert towards the school as it may just seem made up and exaggerated to those listening on the radio. If the information used is false, I could receive prosecutions from the law and negatively impact the school’s reputation. To avoid this law, I intend not to publish any untrue or exaggerated information, so I will use reliable information provided by Deyes High themselves.
Data protection is also very important when creating an audio advert as that we needed to ensure that it doesn’t contain any information about the students involved. This means that we can not share the names of the students who spoke in the advert, so they are to be kept anonymous.
For the print advertisement, we had to ensure that that the poster met the standards set by the ASA so that it would be fit to be distributed to the public to attach to bus stops and around public transport. Therefore, I made sure that there was nothing inappropriate or misleading within them.

Ethical


A very important factor during the creation of these advertisements was representation. I made sure that the audio advertisement was to have both a male and female student voice. This suggests that the school is open to both male and females, so the advert would not ostracise any potential students through a lack of representation. The print advert does not contain people like the radio advert does therefore there were far fewer ethical issues to worry about.
