Legal and Ethical Constraints

This means it is not a criminal offence to break the law, which could result in a fine or jail
sentence.
Instead, the person who owns the copyright has to sue the person they believe has broken
the law. The case is then heard in a civil court and if the person is found guilty of breaking
copyright law then they will have to pay damages to the owner of the copyright. The
amount of damages is set by the court.

Application
For my fashion spread I will ensure that our ideas are own and have our own creations.
We need to make sure that we don’t use any ideas which are from any other fashion
spreads. That before we start to photograph I need to have other ideas. Also not outfits
which are the same as other fashion spreads.
We need to make sure that we do not discriminate any models if they have a disability or
they are in a position which, we may discriminate against. We need to treat everyone
equally however they are.
Intellectual property
What intellectual property is
Having the right type of intellectual property protection helps you to stop people stealing or
copying:
the names of your products or brands
your inventions
the design or look of your products
things you write, make or produce
Copyright, patents, designs and trade marks are all types of intellectual property protection.
You get some types of protection automatically, others you have to apply for.
If you believe anyone has stolen or copied your property you would sue them in civil court.
Types of protection
The type of protection you can get depends on what you’ve created. You get some types of
protection automatically, others you have to apply for.
Automatic protection
In my fashion spread I will ensure that we will not copy any ideas and that my ideas will be
protected if anyone decides to copy them. This will mean that we also should protect my
ideas which we have made.
Application
In my fashion spread I will ensure that we never photograph any of the models in a bad
light or make them be unjust. We have to photograph them in a good light and not show
them in a light which the public may not be happy with.
Trespass
This is a civil law.
Trespass to land consists of any unjustifiable intrusion by a person upon the land in
possession of another.
Civil trespass is actionable in the courts.
Application
If we are taking picture of somewhere we need to get permission to take pictures in that
area so we do not trespass. If we are taking pictures on private land. We should not
photograph on land which we do not have permission to photograph on.
Privacy
The introduction of the Human Rights Act 1998 incorporated into English law the European
Convention on Human Rights.
Article 8.1 of the ECHR provides an explicit right to respect for a private life:
Article 8 protects your right to respect for your private life, your family life, your home and
your correspondence (letters, telephone calls and emails, for example).
Privacy Law is a law which deals with the use of people’s personal information and making
sure they aren't intruded upon. These laws make sure people can't have their information
wrongly used without permission.
When applying the legal principles the court will balance the claimant's right to privacy
against the right to freedom of expression.
If the claimant is proved to be correct this could result in an injunction banning publication
of information; damages; and return or destruction of the material gained from the
intrusion.
Application
In the image that I will take of the models it will not show anything about their private life
which they do not want shown. Such as where the image is taken I will let them see to
ensure that they feel nothing private is shown in the pictures.
The Act changed existing criteria for a successful claim, by requiring claimants to show actual
or probable serious harm (which, in the case of for-profit bodies, is restricted to serious
financial loss), before suing for defamation in England or Wales.
It also enhanced existing defences, by introducing a defence for website operators hosting
user-generated content (provided they comply with a procedure to enable the complainant
to resolve disputes directly with the author of the material concerned or otherwise remove
it), and introducing new statutory defences of truth, honest opinion, and "publication on a
matter of public interest“.
LIBEL
A written, published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation.
SLANDER
Making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation.
Defamation is a civil law and so you would need to sue someone who you believe has
damaged your reputation.
Application
In the image I need to ensure that there is nothing written on the image which will
damage their representation. The image will not contain anything which will show the
person in a bad light.
Ethical Constraints
Rather than legal constraints, ethical issues are based on judgement. They are what society
considers as morally acceptable.
If something is seen as ethically wrong than it is first investigated to see if it is breaking any
laws. However, if it is not in violation of any of these laws then it comes under ethical issues.
This means that no law has been broken, however the public may see it as offensive or
controversial. Many ethical concerns are raised by groups of specific people. These groups
may find the publication offensive, due to how the minority are represented.
Ethical concerns which come into media production are things such as:
Protecting under 18s
Representation of age, gender, race, disability, sexuality and religion
Using off the record information
The power to influence public opinion
Interviewing vulnerable people or children
Anything that could cause offence or harm
Presenting an individual or their views as being representative of an entire group or people
Running premium rate phone lines
Using hidden microphones
Making a product which offends or insults a viewer/listener/user
In my photo shoot I will ensure that I do not portray explicit language or sexual content as
we need to protect the under 18’s. I also have to ensure that we have a clear
representation of all age, gender, race, disability, sexuality and religion. I need to make
sure that we do not influence public opinion with my ideas. I will also not include any type
of things which could influence public opinion.
