I am writing to inform you of some errors in your job advertisement of 'Digital Media Production Producer' and hopefully educate you and hopefully you correcting these mistakes. In order to do this, I will back up my points using correct information obtained from News Articles and Legislations. I would like to extend onto general contracts in general and how anyone to have this job is subject to Confidentiality Clauses, so no information can be disclosed without prior permission from the consumer/employer, otherwise no information should be disclosed.
First of all, I would like to demonstrate your point of "preferred religious views". Under the Equality Act 2010 Part 2 Chapter 1 (10), the act tells us that whether or not the person(s) in question has a faith or believe, and should not determine if the person is employable or not. The Equality Act protects people in general from discrimination, and thus, any differences in terms of gender reassignment, sexual orientation, race, gender representation and beliefs, should all have equal chances in the world and you should not sought after those of a similar faith. Employee rights also protect those in and looking for jobs by protecting against discrimination, giving fair pay for a fair days work and have the right for sick pay and holiday days. An employer is also eligible to either be or not be within the trade union and despite their opinion it should not be affecting their position within the job.
By introducing a code of conduct or a set of rules, you would be able to discuss with clients and employees the rules and regulations that include;
- No discrimination of any kind
- Promotes health and safety and procedures
- Promotes equality
The video/product you're trying to create should also be inclusive of minorities as well as majorities. The product should not be stereotypical in every scenario since more minorities are coming much more accepted in today's society, so the product should be representative of those who are of minority, including:
- Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual
- Cisgendered, transgendered or otherwise.
- Any ethnicity or race
- Age
Some minorities such as LGBT+ community, ethnicities and otherwise worry about how they are portrayed in the media and it is important that the product represents them correctly to a degree where the groups are happy to agree with your portrayal.
The OFCOM broadcast code tells us that the advert cannot be harmful to children or young people. The advert must conform to protecting younger audience when viewing or picking a suitable time-slot that doesn't harm young audiences but still gets the message across via them watching or word of mouth. Following the OFCOM code is in due to both of the Communications Act (2003) and the Broadcasting Act (1990). The Communications Act consist of acts that protect the conglomeration of TV in Britain but also protects the general public. The Broadcasting Act consists of, quote (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcasting_Act_1990): "The aim of the Act was to reform the entire structure of British broadcasting; British television, in particular, had earlier been described by Margaret Thatcher as "the last bastion of restrictive practices"." The Obscene Publications Act also stops obscene imagery in British media and this legislation protects people from seeing obscene imagery. Depending upon the contents of the product, the BBFC (British Board of Film Certification) would have to rate the product of an older audience. If the product contained nudity, violence and fear the product would be rated higher than intended. Think about alternatives to get the message across. All of the product must be made by yourselves and any copyright media used in the advert would be grounds of suing for copyright infringement, but if someone were to take your advert and claim it as their own, you are able to sue them on grounds of copyright infringement.
The nature of low budget productions such as the one you are putting forward would mean that the popular music you sought after would be difficult if not impossible to acquire. Instead, look for royalty free music where available such as incompetech.com or bensound.com.
Yours Sincerely,
Roisin Phelps
