3 codes of practice and


regulations
Georgia Linnard
Regulations - Ofcom

• We regulate the TV and radio sectors, fixed line telecoms, mobiles, postal
services, plus the airwaves over which wireless devices operate.
• Ofcom is funded by fees from industry for regulating broadcasting and
communications networks, and grant-in-aid from the Government.
• Ofcom is relevant to pre production because they have to make sure that the
film production have sectors where they can put their films on for show so that
people can access the film. Without Ofcom, there would be no broadcasting of
anything like films, no communication networks.
An example of an Ofcom regulation was on Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 5 –
when Roxanne Pallet alleged assault by her fellow housemate Ryan Thomas. More
than 25,000 people complained – accounting for around half of all broadcasting
complaints in 2018.
Regulations - BBFC

•BBFC stand for (British board of film classification) which is a non-governmental organisation, founded by the film
industry in 1912 and responsible for the national classification and censorship of films exhibited at cinemas and video
works. BBFC helps regulate film, video, tv via age guidance.
•BBFC is very important because it ensures that there is an age limit on films that are in some way inappropriate. Without
the regulations from BBFC, it could lead younger people the wrong way into copycat behaviour through the violence that
is shown in age limit 18 films.
Services offered and responsibilities of the BBFC include:
•Protecting the public, especially children and the vulnerable from content which could be harmful
•Responding to and reflecting changing social attitudes towards media through proactive research and public consultation
•Working with industry to provide advice and guidance
An example is a film from 1997, The Lost World: Jurassic Park was shown at test screenings before hundreds of primary
school-age children in order to test its suitability for a PG rating. Lolita (1997) was the subject of expert professional
opinion owing to the difficulties implicit in its theme.
Another example of where BBFC regulations has come into place is In 2001, a single cut was made to the French film
Baise-moi (2000) and in 2002 another French film, Irreversible, was passed 18 uncut, in spite of a protracted rape scene.
The film was assessed by a consultant psychologist, and although it presented some challenging issues, it did not breach
the BBFC's Guidelines
Regulations - UKCCS

• Copyright protects your work and stops others from using it without
your permission. There isn't a register of copyright works in the UK.
You automatically get copyright protection when you create:
original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic work, including
illustration and photography.
• In the UK, copyright in artistic works generally lasts for the lifetime
of the artist plus 70 years after their death.
For example, when a photograph is made by a company employee, it
could well be the company, rather than the individual photographer,
that owns the copyright.
Regulations - PRS

• PRS pay royalties to our members when their work is performed, broadcast, streamed, downloaded,
reproduced, played in public or used in film and TV.
• PRS works for Music collects and distributes money on behalf of songwriters, composers and music
publishers, for the use of their musical compositions and lyrics. PRS collects performing royalties from when
music is publicly performed.
Royalties - As a member, you'll be able to manage your account online, check your royalty payments, register
and amend your works, claim unpaid royalties and report your live performances once you've signed in.
Our global network - Through our representation agreements with a society network spanning over 100
countries, PRS is well placed to represent and support our members’ music around the world. Therefore,
there is no coincidence that PRS International income has increased by 87% over the last decade,
demonstrating both the success of our members' music around the world and our commitment to ensuring they
receive what they’re due.
Purchasing a PRS for Music licence helps you legally use or play music – including playing music at work,
releasing music products, sync licensing, using music online, live performances, radio and tv broadcasting,
using music outside the uk.
Advertising standards - ASA

• The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is the UK’s independent regulator of advertising across all media.
• Our mission is to make every UK ad a responsible ad. As well as responding to complaints, we monitor ads to check they're following
the rules. If they don’t follow the rules, then there ad could potentially be banned or kicked off the channel.
Paddy Power’s Oscar Pistorius ad with 5,525 complaints. The seriousness of the ad’s content, making light of a murder trial and the
death of a woman, prompted us to suspend the ad immediately. The fact that the three most complained about ads ever have appeared
in 2014 reflects the rise of social media, which has allowed members of the public to voice and co-ordinate their concerns about ads.

Advertising standards – product placement


• An advertising technique used by companies to subtly promote their products through a non-traditional advertising technique, usually
through appearances in film, television, or other media.
• Product placements are often initiated through an agreement between a product manufacturer and the media company in which the
media company receives economic benefit. A company will often pay a fee to have their product used, displayed, or significantly
featured in a movie or show.
One of the earliest examples is the Buster Keaton/Fatty Arbuckle short film The Garage from 1920. The movie featured Red Crown
Gasoline's logo and at the time, was criticised by the newspaper Harrison's Report.
Trade unions - BECTU
• BECTU is the UK's media and entertainment trade union; sectors covered include broadcasting, film, independent production,
theatre and the arts, IT and telecoms, live events, leisure and digital media. Their key aims are to protect jobs, increase
memberships, win new recognition agreements, and improve pay and conditions of services including pensions.
• At Bectu, we advise, defend and support members if they have a problem at work. We also:
• negotiate pay and conditions with employers
• campaign for jobs and standards
• facilitate freelance members to organise across the industry on rates and agreements
• offer valuable benefits and services
• networking events and career development opportunities

Trade unions – pact


“Pact is the trade association representing the commercial interests of UK independent television, film, digital, children’s and
animation media companies.”
• Pact was highly influential in shaping the current production business environment and the Communications Act 2003, giving
independent UK producers their intellectual property rights.
• Pact is socially responsible and seeks to influence the wider industry to commit to diversity on and off the screen. Pact works
closely with broadcasters and producers' groups to create training opportunities and promote fair access for all.
