Ethical issues  

You must consider how we represent people in film and TV because this can have the snowball effect, this happens by when one thing hears something and then ramps it up a small amount by adding vulgar detail. This then also leads to mass misrepresentation in the media by making a little issue into a worldwide problem. Take the youth of today. The British media uses the teenage demographic as a scape goat.

One such instance when all the refugees started coming over to the UK, the media started saying that  when these migrants come over to the UK we will suffer, using words like “plague of humanity” and “swarms” this put into the mind of the British public that they’re like insects and are only coming to the UK to steal our money.

This all changed when a picture surfaced of a boat that had sunken whilst off a shore in England, it showed numerous people drowning. Among then was a small child, then the attitude changed rather quickly almost trying to say that we need to help these people.

Legal issues

Legal issues in the media, they consist of many things that media production must follow.

One of the biggest ones is copyright and this is the most basic rules in media, copyright is the law that is put in place to protect the owner of a written item. Say if you wrote an award-winning script for a TV/ Film script, then suddenly say a week later you see some one post online a script that is exactly the same as your and haven’t say that it’s your work, that’s plagiarism and is against the copyright law and you can either copyright claim and take royalties from the piece of work so you get what ever money they would’ve earned goes straight to you. You can also sue for financial damages which is usually the path most companies go down to secure more money.

Race relation act 1964 is the law that protects ethnic minorities in the workspace by having it so that they can’t be fired for their skin colour or your country of origin.

Disability act 2014 Is the act that protects anyone in the work

editing techniques

This a bin, in Premier Pro you can create bins which hold all of your clips in one section so you can find this easier for editing floor personnel can find them, in this screen shot you can see that we've expanded the bin allowing you to see what film clips are, this also so allows people to to see what they want in the bins and what will be added in the movie. as well when they call they call then "bins" they're referring to when we had films reals were hanged over gins so they wouldn't get dust on any of the f ilm strips   In this screen shot we can see that I am using the colour pallet to change the hue of current image and allow me to lighten darken or even put a different coloured tint over the clip. The reason why you want to change the colour is because you may want to give the feeling a nice warm feeling by adding a yellow or a red, and if you want a cool feeling you would probably add a blue or a green.           ...
