M2 - Discuss Legal and Ethical Requirements

 Legal - 

For my short film all of my footage has been uploaded to YouTube, they will be under the protection of copyright so no one will be able to claim the footage as their own. This follows with the metadata of my photographs which clearly show they are mine and even shows the location in which I took them, however I can also add a watermark so no one can claim them.

All sounds featured in my short film were assets gathered from freesound.org which is a royalty free website meaning all of my sound is copyright free

My website has either images of myself or illustrations that I have made myself so they are free from copyright claims

I will also need to ensure I follow laws on the data protection act when it comes to my clients, so for example when I have photos of them i will need to have them fill out a consent form first to avoid prosecution.

Ethical -

I must make sure that my website is age appropriate for my audience so will contain no swearing and will censor any more violent footage unless the user can prove they are of the required age 

I must also ensure that i do no clickbait my website by spamming metadata or spam people to look at my website as this is irritating to audiences and shows that I am misleading them
