ASSIGNMENT // EXTERNAL CONTROLS

Some ideas for research you could be doing for your assignment project for External Controls.

  • research copyright law for the use of music in your piece: Google search “BBC Academy A Guide to Copyright” then apply what you learn to your own production.
  • consider the health and safety implications of any action stunts or location specifications – research health and safety legislation and figure out what procedures you may need to put in place. Google search: “HSE Health and Safety in the film, theatre and broadcasting industries” then apply this to your own production.
  • how does your media product fit in with the channel’s social ideology, values and/or role in media?
  • Bbfc film classifications. What are the rules for 12/15/18 – what will your show be and why?
  • scheduling – use the Radio Times website or similar to research schedules of major TV stations and figure out the best place for your product. Google search: The Watershed TV scheduling – apply what you learn to your product.
