If someone does use your work without your permission they are breaching the copyright law that protects your work and you
have a right to take them to court and sue them. For more information you can visit this website:
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/contents
In the UK you do not have to register your work to get it copyrighted, it happens automatically and you then have the rights
over that work for the rest of your life and then for another 70 years after your death, after this time period is up if the rights to
the work was left in a will to someone for example their children or family members they then have the rights to that work. The
additional time changes depending on what is copyrighted for example music only has a 30 year additional time after the death
of the creator which is different to the 70 years for written work, even though the time is different everything like text, videos,
videos and music all come under the same copyright law meaning there isnt a different punishment depending on what you
copied.
With some images they can be used by the public without worrying about copyright, these are called stock images and it is
when the owner of the image makes it open to the public so it can be used but the owner can place rules down that if you want
to use the image you have to follow.
You can buy software packages that gives you a license to use whatever comes with in the package with having to worry about
copyright, although you do not own the rights to the software you have the right to use it as you have purchased it. Each
package normally contains one license that can only be assigned to one computer meaning is this was to be passed on to
another person to use it would then be breaking the law.
Some companies sell multi- user licenses with allows the person to log on to the network from any place at any time but when
the number of log ins has been met you can only then log in from a computer that is already logged in to the network, this is
normally used for businesses and schools that run off a network allowing students and staff to access certain software.
If you are working in any part of media restrictions are applied to stop any form of racist or harmful remark from being made
or suggested as it would not only offend people it could course major problems. One the internet more people are likely to
break laws as it is hard for companies and people to track down people who have done something wrong and people do make
harmful remarks that can be offensive to others but as most of the time this is done anonymously its hard to know who did it.
There is software that companies can use to help track people who do break laws over the internet and this helps to keep the
amount of people breaking these laws as even on the internet laws are still laws and you can be punished for breaking them.
Companies and business do need to be careful about what they put on the internet as if someone finds anything in anyway
offensive they can sue the company for a lot of money and this could also ruin how people view the business as it could course
them to be given a bad name.
You cannot use images, videos or music that is copyrighted without permission of the owner.
You cannot make a comment about a certain person that could course them to feel offended.
You cannot use someone elses work and try and use it as your own.
Whilst creating my product I took all of this in to consideration to make sure that the product is suitable for a range of
people and it doesnt offend people in any way.
To make sure I dont break any of these rule I will make sure I do not use anything without permission as then I am
with in breach of copyright and it could course problems. I will need to check every image I use to make sure that it
isnt copyrighted as that could stop my product from being shown as I wouldnt have permission.
Ofcom is a government programme that controls a lot of TV and radio to help stop discrimination and is there to
protect the public from offensive material. They also cover different areas like licensing, research, codes and policies
ect.
The regulator was created by the Ofcom in the act 2002 and they received its full authority from communications act
2003
The PCC (press complaints commission) has control over magazines and newspapers to make sure people are not offended but
what is being published and if so they are the first people that get contacted when there is something that has offended
someone in the media.
The ASA (Advertising standards authority) enforce the codes and rules that protect the public from being offended. This means
that if people do get offended then they can contact the ASA then they will address the problem in some cases stopping the
avert all together.
Evaluation
This is the overall evaluation I completed for the end of the assessment, in
this evaluation I spoke about the work I had done and I how felt it went as
well as wheather I had met the clients needs whilst creating the graphics.
This was a way of mr
reavaluating my work along
with the client to make sure
that the work I was producing
was to a good and professional
stanard as this is what the
client was looking for and
specified within the client
meeting. The evaluation also
hold information about each
step I took during this process
and I made sure I gave as
much detail and information as
possible to help the client understand each step that was taken during this
assessment. I aos put images of the origional hand drawn designs me and
the client came up with along side the finished graphic so that they could
be compared with each other by the client. When looking back at the brief
the client wanted the animation to last 30 seconds, I went slightly over
this but it wasnt a major peoblem as it wasnt very noticable.
During this
assessment we were
told to create a
healthy eating
animation for
children to be aired
on TV. I first had to
design and make
each character and
the background I
also made sure that
the client was happy
with the graphics
that I had created
and was also happy
with the storyline.
As I made my way
through the
assessment and
animation I made
sure to keep track of the work I had done step by step as they were
important with how each graphic and the animation were created, it also
gives the client the chance to see how everything was put together and
how their ideas got create and implomented in to the graphics and
animation. I made sure that I included a lot of detail in each step I
recorded in the diary as I wanted to make sure that the client knew
exactly how the graphics and animation were made, I added in the
different tools and effects I used and clearly pointed them out with screen
shots and arrows within the diary. I also added the aims for that session
and also the date and what I had learnt so the client could see what I did
within the deadline time I was given and how I worked efficently to
complete the animation and graphics in time for the deadline.
