Ethics in research

In doing our research there are a ethical issues that need to be addressed:
-Does our genre conform to the "norm"
- Permission, from parents if children under 16 will be in our trailer, also permissions for our location; music;actors and from the law.
- Health and Safety
-BBFC
- Cultural reception, within the film and the process.

Each of these elements can be addressed and contended with easily.
Conforming to the norm can be addressed by doing comprehensive research into the genre, to establish what the 'norm' is and then work from there sticking to the normal conventions of the genre.
Permission can be addressed by contacting everyone involved and gaining written permission from them.
Health and Safety can be contended with by making sure and "stunts" we do or places we use are within health and safety guidelines and peoples well fare is not put at any kind of risk.
BBFC can be addressed by us classifying our film appropriately according to the guidelines set by the BBFC.

Not only do Ethical factors play a part in our research but when it comes to actually filming our trailer, external factors will also have to be contended with, for example:
- Time of day and year
- Weather
- Setting availability and accessibility
- Technological issues i.e. problems with software and cost of technology



External factors can be contended with easily if appropriate planning is undertaken and executed.
