Section T ree: 6egal considerations

Filming in public Are you filming in public !hat precautions will you need to ta"e !ill you need to as" permission, inform police

The precautions that I will need to take are to make sure I dont film any promotional material or advertise any brand that I dont have authority to. What I will do is fuzz out anythin that I dont have access or permission to. If I do need it then I will contact the owner and seek permission.

Clearances and permissions Do you need to get permission to film anywhere or interview anyone #under $%&

!veryone that is bein interviewed is over the a e of "# and have points which we may or may not add into the final cut.

Pri$acy Are you secretly filming on location Does the person being interviewed "now what it is for

!veryone bein interviewed is fully aware of the situation and why they are bein interviewed$ everyone has voluntarily a reed to be filmed and asked %uestions.

6ibel and defamation !hat will you do to prevent being ta"en to court

We will et our facts ri ht and have enou h evidence to back up our points. Well keep our remarks as neutral as possible to prevent bias views and false accusations. We will balance each ar ument to keep a set balance between each point.
