Satellite & Cable

When satellite television first hit the market in the early 1990s, home dishes were expensive metal units that took up a huge chunk of yard space. In these early years, only the most die-hard TV fans would go through all the hassle and expense of putting in their own dish. Satellite TV was a lot harder to get than broadcast and cable TV. now we see a dish on most roof tops as he providers have footed the bill and charged a little fitment fee as dishes become smaller and smaller .The main providers of satellite TV in the UK . 
  
BT Tv

Is a subscription IPTV service offered by BT Group in the United Kingdom, originally launched as BT Vision in December 2006

TalkTalk
Is a UK-based consumer television and video on demand service, operated by the TalkTalk Group. In its current form, it was launched on 3 September 2012 in a partnership with YouView. Its offering is delivered over a BT phone line.

Analogue
Preceding digital television (DTV), all televisions encoded pictures as an analog signal by varying signal voltage and radio frequencies. DTV is fast replacing analog TVs as digital broadcasting enables broadcasters to offer television with movie-quality picture and sound. Analog systems are more commonly known as NTSC systems.

Digital TV
 Is a way of receiving your television signal in a digital format. This allows TV companies to broadcast better quality sound, a higher definition picture and a wider range of channels than ever before. The digital switchover in the UK is already complete. If you feel you were just swept along with the change and have questions, why not check out our handy guide to digital television services? It’s full of useful answers to frequently asked digital TV questions.



Pros 

• More modern digital TV services will also allow you to access the internet via your television set.
• One such advantage is the interactive nature of the service. Digital TV allows users to access further information by entering menus and interacting with their television in ways they had never even dreamed of before. In addition to this, viewers can listen to radio channels via their televisions and even watch archived programs via digital ‘on-demand’ services.
• As well as better quality picture and sound, and more channels, digital television has many other advantages over its analogue predecessor.
  

Cons

• there is only a one con i can see with digital is the ease in which it could be out done by steaming with technological development and the demand for on demand television.

why do we watch TV?

The Thinkbox study, Screen Life: TV in demand, suggests that the live television experience “satisfies human emotional needs that on demand viewing alone can’t”.

The study was based on an analysis of 100 hours of footage from 18 households and a diary study of 662 adults.

The researchers found six main reasons that people watch television: to unwind, for comfort, to connect, for an experience, to escape, or to indulge.

While there is much to be said for trying to understand why people watch television, rather than simply measuring how much they watch, reducing it to these six reasons seems rather simplistic.

Internet -streaming content 

the internet is a huge source of media and is becoming more and more popular with the ease of access to the internet through many devices.There are many ways the internet can be used to access media i will break it down into the easiest groups its split into which are ;

Legal
There are many providers of online streaming servers which i will discuss payment methods later in the essay Whether you’re thinking of cutting the cord or just want to watch TV on your own schedule instead of the television network’s, there are more legal ways to watch TV online than ever. Even better, many of these legal options are free. Most of these websites will expose you to commercials – someone has to pay for the free TV – but you’ll end up watching commercials if you pay to watch TV the traditional way, anyway.Many of these services are only available in specific countries, such as the USA. Some services are only available in the UK, so even Americans can’t watch everything. 

BBC Iplayer 
BBC iPlayer offers a variety of BBC television shows for free in the UK, including  he popular Doctor Who series. As with other services on this list, international users can also use this serives, too.the iPlayer has the previous 4 weeks television and also online only television which is kept up to date such as series releases online.


YouTube 
YouTube is a common destination for people looking for free TV shows online. You can find lots of free TV shows on YouTube. But let’s be honest – most free TV shows on YouTube are put up by users and not officially sanctioned. However, sometimes television networks put up free TV show episodes on YouTube.


YouTube offers a YouTube TV Shows page where you can watch TV online – watching shows that have been put up on YouTube legitimately. Sometimes TV networks may put up episodes of their own TV shows on their own YouTube channels, as HBO did for a limited time with the first episodes of some of its new series. Selection will vary by country, as with the other services here.

if you want to upload on to this services you can even make money if you get enough veiws 

Here is the schedule payout of YouTube: 

$ 0.0033/1 view 
$ 3/1,000 view 
$33/ 10,000 views 
$330/ 100,000 views 
$3300/ 1,000,000 views 

Illegal

streaming allows users to view content whenever they like, without having to download and store the illegal file.As a result, streaming sites are rapidly growing in popularity.But there are grey areas. Even the legal owners of copyright material acknowledge that not all users are aware they are breaking the law.

Interactive 

• There are many ways in which the goods are interactive such as turning the volume up on your PC to changing the channel with the remote on your TV.interactive could be considered in anyway in which you manipulate content on the device or viewing platform .

services provide pause and rewind on live television which has produced numerous funny occasions for myself .the providers that currently allow this to my knowledge are sky+ and virgin tevo .online websites allow more freedom as you can fast forward the program or content to where you want you can also leave it and come back to it later whilst simultaneously watching something else . 

the cons of this services are these products are expensive subscriptions and fitment fees that come with them they are also faults in corruption of the programs and the programming that deletes programs .

HD (high definition)

3D

3D in the film and media industry 3D films like Avatar trick your brain, bringing images projected onto a flat cinema screen to life in full three dimensional glory.If you look at an object near you and close your left and right eyes in turn, you’ll see that each has a slightly different view of the world. Your left eye sees a bit more of the left side of the object, and your right eye sees a bit more of its right side. Your brain fuses the two images together allowing you to see in three dimensions. This is known as stereoscopic vision.

3D has been a buzzword in the technology industry for years. Ever since Avatar brought 3D cinema back into the public eye in 2009, there's been a resurgence of interest in 3D technologies.we're surrounded by 3D TVs (with and without glasses), 3D computer monitors, 3D video games, portable 3D games consoles like the Nintendo 3DS, 3D Blu-rays, 3D web streaming and even 3D sound. It seems like most of the major electronics companies are jumping on the 3D bandwagon.

 Pay per view

Pay per view provides a service by which a television audience can purchase events to view via private telecast. The broadcaster shows the event at the same time to everyone ordering it (as opposed to video-on-demand systems, which allow viewers to see recorded broadcasts at any time).  For example Sky sports use this for important sporting events. This offers a service where a television audience can purchase events to view via private telecast which is not shown for free.

This function is used so that audiences can pay for private broadcast to be viewed that wouldn’t normally been show on normal TV. This is done by using on screens guides (e.g. pressing the red button on SKY) or calling up the service provider. This is usually used for programmes such as sporting events like huge boxing matches pay per view has changed the way we view TV as it has given viewers control of what they watch and also the ability to enjoy first-run movies and special events at a time that is convenient for them. Also, unlike renting a movie from a video store, there is no movie to return and you pay no late fees. Producers can make more money form offering services to one off customers who do not have a subscription to their channel.

Digital recorders

A digital video recorder sometimes referred to by the “merchandising term personal video recorder is a consumer electronics device or application software that records video in a digital format to a disk drive, USB flash drive, SD memory card or other local or networked mass storage device.”(Google 13/02/13) The term includes set-top boxes with direct to disk recording facility, portable media players with recording, recorders as camcorders that record onto Secure Digital memory cards and software for personal computers which enables video capture and playback to and from a hard disk drive. The digital recorder is an important development in the television technology as it gives viewers more control and opportunities than the standard, older television remote control. Before digital recorders were developed many viewers had to use recording equipment such as VCRs where they could record their favourite television programs and films. The advantages of using a digital recorder is that generates better quality pictures than other recording devices such as a VCR, It is also much easier to use. Since the invention of digital recorders viewers have been able to pause, rewind and even record their favourite programs so they do not miss anything they are watching. Producers can gain more profit from digital recording as their audiences can record then watch their programs if there is a clash between two TV SHOWS. For examples in the weekend viewers that are watching the XFACTOR can still record Strictly Come Dancing and watch it later and it still register on the viewing record.

On demand viewing

On-demand viewing is essentially the ability to select from a library of stored content whenever viewers want and it is therefore completely controlled by the viewer and is not in any way dictated by the TV programme schedule for example, if you want to view on-demand content on your main TV set, you can decide what to choose. On-demand viewing (via streaming or downloading) is clearly a major part of most people's web behaviour, whether legal viewing from BBC iplayer for example, or illegal viewing web site that offer file shares. 40D is an on demand service which offers on demand viewing across different branches of channel 4 and viewers can view missed programs or even programs that was shown years ago. On demand viewing has definitely made it easier for viewers to view their missed programs. Producer gain profit on demand services through advertisement which viewers cannot skip and it generates different sponsorship deals for them.

Ownership and Funding.

Ownership Concepts:

Public Service Broadcasting (PSB)

• Public service broadcast is a broadcaster (e.g. BBC) that broadcasts for the public's benefits rather than for financial gain.The television authority OFCOM has regulations hat certain TV/radio broadcasts are required to include a specific amount of public service broadcasts as their license to broadcast.(link 1)

• The BBC exists to serve the public, and its mission is to inform, educate and entertain. The BBC Trust is the governing body of the BBC, and we make sure the BBC delivers that mission. The Trust is the guardian of licence fee revenue and of the public interest in the BBC.The Trust is separate from the Executive Board which is led by the Director-General. The Executive Board is responsible for the operational delivery of BBC services and the direction of BBC editorial and creative output in line with the framework set by the Trust.(link 2)

• The BBC is run through the licenceing fee which each household in the UK pays. The BBC used its income from the licence fee to pay for its TV, radio and online services, plus other costs, as shown below.Everyone in the UK who watches or records TV programmes at the same as they are shown on TV needs to be covered by a TV licence. This includes TVs, computers, mobile phones, games consoles, digital boxes and DVD/VHS recorders.

The annual cost of a colour TV licence is £145.50 (as from 1 April 2010). A black and white TV licence is £49.

How the licence fee was spent in 2013/14

Between 1 April 2013 and 31 March 2014 the cost was £145.50 – the equivalent of £12.13 per month or just under 40p per day.

Commercial Broadcasting

ITV, C4 and Five are funded from the revenues from adverts. Funding TV channels from advertising is getting more difficult as the total amount of money available isn't really increasing but the large numbers of channels these days mean that the money is spread more thinly. All 3 currently have quite expensive "public service" obligations (e.g. they have to put minimum amounts of certain types of programs on - these programs are usually unpopular ones as well as expensive so it is hard to make money from adverts in them) as part of their licences to broadcast. 

Global Companies

The media world is ran by main companies. Global companies are companies that own lots of smaller companies such as Time Warner, they currently own around 50 plus smaller companies such as Warner Bros, CNN and New Line Cinema. In the media industry all the companies are practically owned by seven massive companies which can be argued as unfair and it is having owning all the landscape for no competition. The top six companies are VIACOM, News Corporation, Time Warner, Walt Disney, Sony and General Electric.

1. VIACOM
Viacom has a total asset of $22.96 billion dollars and own companies such as MTV,Nick Jr and Comedy Central

2. WALT DISNEY
Walt Disney has a total assets of $69.206 billion dollars and owns such companies like Pixar, Disney Music Group and Marvel Entertainment

3. SONY
Sony has a total asset of $137.7 billion dollars and owns such companies as Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Classics

Corporate Ownership and Private Ownership

A corporate ownership is when a company or corporation owns a sector that is owned by the government and is separate from its owners making it an separate object. However a private ownership is when they are not owned by the government and are self funded. A good example of a corporate ownership is the BBC and a good examples of private ownership is companies that are independently funded owned by an individual.

Vertical Integration (owning stuff in different sectors)

When a company expands its business into areas that are at different points on the same production path, such as when a manufacturer owns its supplier and/or distributor. Vertical integration can help companies reduce costs and improve efficiency by decreasing transportation expenses and reducing turnaround time, among other advantages. However, sometimes it is more effective for a company to rely on the expertise and economies of scale of other vendors rather than be vertically integrated.

Horizontal Integration / monopolisation

The acquisition of additional business activities that are at the same level of the value chain in similar or different industries. This can be achieved by internal or external expansion. Because the different firms are involved in the same stage of production, horizontal integration allows them to share resources at that level. If the products offered by the companies are the same or similar, it is a merger of competitors. If all of the producers of a particular good or service in a given market were to merge, it would result in the creation of a monopoly. Also called lateral integration.


Funding Types:

The Licence Fee:

Subscription:
Subscription television is where you pay a fee, often monthly, to watch a particular company's television channels. The most popular example of that in the United Kingdom is Sky in which you have a satellite dish fitted and get a television box that can view all of the channels. Then you pay a monthly fee to watch the channels that they supply.Other online subscription services include Netflix, NowTV and Amazon prime.

One-off payment to own product
The main source of one of payment is film rental or DVD purchase as most people steam this has become less and less but now they are making services such as sky on demand where you buy a film you can instantly watch it then they post the DVD to your address so you can keep it in your collection. DVD is a digital optical disc storage format, invented and developed by Philips, Sony, Toshiba, and Panasonic in 1995. DVDs can be played in multiple types of players, including DVD players. DVDs offer higher storage capacity than compact discs while having the same dimensions.

LOVEFiLM By Post - amazon.co.uk‎

LoveFilm (stylised as LOVEFiLM) was a UK-based provider of DVD-by-mail and streaming video on demand in the UK and Germany.

Acquired by Amazon.com in 2011, the service had reached 2 million subscribers. It also claims over 70,000 titles, and over 4 million DVD, Blu-ray or Games rentals per month in five countries. Through a series of acquisitions, LoveFilm quickly became the leading online DVD rental and streaming outlet in the UK and Europe.

Pay per View

Sponsorship

Sponsorship is when you gain funding from being supported by a certain brand and/or company, this way the person who is sponsoring can gain exposure by being shown to support a popular brand and the company being sponsored can gain exposure from the company sponsoring if it is popular also. An example of how sponsoring can work is with the Talk-Talk and X-Factor deal, as X-Factor is on at prime time, it is a successful way to gain exposure for whoever sponsors them . 'TalkTalk gets significant mileage out of its wide-ranging association with the show, with the sponsorship proving to be a significant driver of its fast-growing TV service, which has signed up almost 1 million customers to its YouView-based pay-TV operation.'  This is a quote from the news article that reinforces the idea of how effect a sponsorship can be and shows how much money can be invested into a project sponsorship like this, the Talk-Talk and X-Factor sponsorship cost £30 million.

advertising (Spot ads): Example: To many things to say, but most channels do this. Litterally placing Advertisments spaces in between TV shows or intermissions in TV shows or films.

product placement: Example: James bond and Aston Martin. This is litterally where you pay for your product to appear on major publications, such as the example stated earlier.

Crowd funding and sourcing

 from the public getting the public to believe in your product to donate a small amount of money into the media product. An example of how you can do this is through a website called kick-starter it is very effective for people creating a moving image media production that need help to fund it, 7.3million people have backed a Kick-starter project and 2.2million people have backed more than one project. 

Private capital: 
Often with films individuals of substantial worth will put there own money in to developing a film. Many established film stars such as Tom Cruise will often feature in the credits of films under the title of producer meaning they have done exactly that. For doing so the producer will hope to make money back from the selling of the film at cinema and on DVD/blu-ray copies. Some example include the aforementioned Tom Cruise whose first time producing a film was the well known Mission Impossible (1996, Brian De Palma). Sometimes people who originally don't have anything to do with the film industry but have a keen interest will help finance films. An example of such a person would be Megan Ellison, daughter of billionaire Larry Ellison who has produced films like Zero Dark Thirty (2012, Kathryn Bigelow) which have earned her Oscar nominations.

Financial aid and development funds
These are specially set up organisations that aid certain films with there development and funding. An example of such an organisation would be the British Film Institute which invest £26m of lottery funds to aid film development, production and distribution in the UK every year. To obtain such funding from the BFI movie creators will have to apply for the funding they need. If the application is successful then the funding will be received. Recent films the BFI have helped fund include Frank (2014, Lenny Abrahamson).

The nature and purposes of research in the creative media industries

Primary Research

Primary research is obtaining unique information gathered by using self-generated research methods such as questionnaires, focus groups and observations. Primary research is very important in the media industry. Primary research enables researchers to build on their skills and gain knowledge regarding the concepts and ideas that are used within the media industry.

For example, I created a survey to gather opinions about mental health. I had an advantage while collecting participants for my survey as a range of mental health and safeguarding advisors were readily available. This provided me with a rich source of information by gaining an experienced perspective of mental health.

Another example of primary research I engaged in was a questionnaire to ask others if they would be interested participating in the documentary and also questioning them on their interest in mental health, so that we were able to collect a range of people that were interested in mental health and those that were not.

Secondary research

Secondary research is an indirect form of research which another individual has already produced to be extracted and expanded on further. Examples include reference-based books, journals, the internet, databases, material ratings and especially government statistics in our case of our documentary based on mental health. I produced a research post gathering our information that we had collected into one document to explain the sources where our information was collected from and how it was to be used. For example I used a youtube clip that was based around a similar idea of how we wanted to present our documentary, by interviewing a range of different people and asking them firstly factual questions about mental health and then diving this into systematic questions about whether or not people were interested in mental health and why. I also looked into what mental health organisations do for the younger generation. I did this by researching onto their actual sites via the internet, at support services available to younger individuals.

 I also looked into official statistics to grasp accurate evidence that would reflect an argument within the documentary.

Quantitative research

This type of research is a data-led one, where it is includes opinions from what people think from a numerical/ statistical point of view, examples like programme reviews, hits on a website or sales on DVD's and CD's. The type of quantitative research I took part in was an opinion poll showing at the age where people are most affected by mental health, I used this to reinforce the view that young people who are most affected by mental health in Here are examples from my documentary.

Qualitative research

This type of research is where the opinions of people are collected more in-depth and do not include statistical figures. Examples include Film reviews, Game reviews, attitudes to media products, responses to advertising campaigns and responses to news coverage. An example from my research could be the questionnaire I conducted because part of that lets the individual expands on their response in a written format. This provides a rich source of information that would not be gathered from numerical data. Additionally the interviews I conducted for my documentary could also be classed as Qualitative research as the answers were based on personal opinion.  

Data gathering agencies

B.A.R.B is an example of a broadcasting agency, it is the organisation that works with TV ratings and audience measurements, researching and giving information to the public domain to show what's popular and what's not and to show reviews of what people like when watching a broadcast.

Another data gathering agency is IMDB, it is a large collection of entertainment information and creators including predominantly movies and TV programmes. IMDB were originally started by a group of movie fans that indulged themselves into the findings behind movies and the deep detail into them. This includes how and where the films are made and why they are made.

Box office mojo are another data gathering agency.'Box Office Mojo is an online movie publication and box office reporting service. our purpose is to illuminate the movies through the integration of art and business. They also have a copyright policy, where less than 20 names/titles of filmography on non-commercial websites can be used, magazines and information boards as long as the source they are gathered from are referenced.

Purpose of Research

Audience and Market Research:
There are many ways to conduct audience and market research in order to know how to target your media product to the appropriate audience. For example, Geo-demographics is how opinions and views can be varied based on where the individual lives, for example a 18 year old male living in Norfolk will have different views and opinions from a 18 year male who lives in London. Demographics is more about the different views and opinions of those in different social classes and locations.

An example of audience and market research I conducted was through the questionnaire on survey monkey, asking first if the responded is a male/ female, to see if the results show that there is a difference in interests between sexes, as mental health is known from the past and arguably the current that it is predominantly males that have a interest and take part in politics. Additionally there is a question on age as it is argued that older people are more interested in mental health and this is where the idea for a documentary comes about.

From the results we can see it is predominantly males that had an interest in taking part in the survey seeing as it was about mental health, this is how we received our market research and incorporated this into our documentary by interviewing equally males and females. 

The age responses is what I predicted as I wanted to target the young audience and see if they are responsive to the survey and as we can see from the results, we can see that it was that age range that was interested in taking part. This is why we interviewed people of this age range to make it compatible with the results we gained from this survey.

Here we can conclude the first two questions effected this question about interest, showing it was mainly males who took part in the survey and seeing that most of the respondents do have an interest in mental health, therefore could argue it is mostly males who are interested. Also we can see that the idea of our documentary about young peoples apathy to mental health is that there is an interest there, this was effective because we had to incorporate this into the interview questions we asked and how we produced our documentary.

Production research

Equally as important as audience research is production research, particularly in a documentary format where you can potentially miss interesting and exciting moments if you are not aware of when and where they are happening. Production research includes viability of the production, financing, technological capabilities, locations and personnel. For our mock election production, as previously mentioned, Reuben and myself attended several meetings with the team who were organising and participating in the mock election event. This gave us the ability to get to know people through the talent release forms, as well as finding out key dates when important events would be taking place. From this we were able to produce a production schedule and we consulted this daily to ensure we had the required equipment and personnel available to us.

here is a link to my pre-production research -----------

Documentory minitask

Documentary ‘mini-task’

Introduction• 

What is a documentary? A documentary film is a not fiction film intended for documenting reality primarily for the purposes of instruction or maintaining a historical record it.

Expository documentaries 

are usually voiced over with a disembodied and or authoritative which draws the audience in as it addresses the directly and gives an almost personal feeling to the documentary it usually only gives meaning to the images being present and doesn’t give opinions .usually the images are a series in which they complement the voice over in that they are informative and interesting .both sides of the facts and arguments are provided by the voice over which gives a expository documentary giving an objective and transparency .an example will followhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVc6MlGpcRg

Gangs in Prison - The War (National Geographic Documentary) this fits in well to this category as it provides a view of a power struggle from three sides it fit the voice over and the elements that are usually associated with this kind of documentary.

Observational documentaries 

are when the documentary maker is just following a person around in order to observe the events that happen in their everyday life. The camera will normally be hand held and will have longer takes, with no interviews and usually no voice over. Emphasizing the documentary filmmaker's engagement in observing the subject's daily life and circumstances and documenting them with an unobtrusive camera.By maintaining the observational mode, the director allowed the subject to forget the presence of the camera and behave more naturally, thereby letting the audience get a better sense.An example of this could be The War Room is a 1993 American documentary film about Bill Clinton's campaign for President of the United States during the 1992 presidential election. It is frequently cited as one of the greatest documentaries ever made.Initially, the principal characters seem aware of the filmmakers' presence, but gradually they begin to treat them like friends, and the camera like furniture. Either that or they are pretty good actors. Carville, of course, was probably born under a klieg light, and Stephanopoulos, a master of media manipulation, has the looks of a matinee idol.

Cops (TV series)
Officer Caleb Lenz of the Kansas City Missouri Police Department attempts to catch up to an officer that is in pursuit of a stolen vehicle that was spotted earlier in the evening. As he races to the scene, the officer radios shots fired and soon afterwards radios that he has been wounded in the gunfight. Officer Lenz arrives second on scene and finds another officer with the injured man and a witness frantically pointing out the direction in which the shooter traveled on foot. A quick search of the area turns up the shooter's shedded clothing. A K-9 Unit tracks the shooter to a garage and when the man becomes confrontational the dog bites him as he is pulled from the shed. He is quickly detained and the semi-automatic weapon used in the gunfight is recovered. The young man is treated for his wounds as Officer Lenz talks to the K-9 Officer about the track. Lenz is given updated information that the wounded officer will be okay and is in good spirits.

In Interactive documentaries the filmmakers presence is fully acknowledged, almost emphasized. Become the character and author. The film maker may or may not take sides if there is conflict. There can be problems with interactive documentaries such as access to people and locations. Sometimes they resort to filming in secret which will obviously cause legal problems as you need legal permissions. Access and privacy can effect the production, you need to get wirtten permissions to interview people and places you want to use, if you are not allowed these permissions then you will have to pick a different location and people which could lead to a complete change to the production. 

 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqOU13nl2TU"  Ross Kemp: Extreme World | Season 4 Episode 1 | Ukraine is an example of an interactive documentary.Reflexive documentaries:Reflexive documentaries are when the filmmaker is nearly always present on camera, as they like to be able to participate. These types of documentaries are usually made up of interviews making the audience participate within arguments and to become manipulated through the text of editing. An example of this would be the documentaries from Louis. His one named “When Louis met Jimmy” in 2000, this one is about when Louis had met with Jimmy Savile and in this series he had accompanied a British celebrity around on their day to day business. He would interview him with questions about his life and experiences. I felt that this interview was very realistic in the way that Louis was within the programme as well as being the voice over. This is evident in the way that there where straight up reactions for the questions being asked, but not only that there was also a shortage on questions for when Louis was put on the spot. This documentary, just like others have fast forwarded the dull parts. The way that will convince the audience that this isn’t like all of the others are with way that it is all mostly filmed with just the one camera, as this is evident with the camera and camera man are able to be seen in the mirrors.

Supersize me Morgan Spurlock 2004

This is an example of a per-formative documentary as the film maker gets involved in the documentary being the main subject and also evidently tells the audience the truths on the subject in hand. Deeply personal, the per-formative mode is particularly well-suited to telling the stories of filmmakers from marginalized social groups, offering the chance to air unique perspectives without having to argue the validity of their experiences. With the filmmaker visible to the viewer, and freed to openly discuss his or her perspective in regards to the film being made, rhetoric and argumentation return to the documentary film as the filmmaker clearly asserts a message.

I feel that documentary films have to present a none bias veiw to be truthful to both parties involved and for the rights of the viewer as showing a bias documentary would brake the trust that us the consumer have with trusted providers.

Mental health Research
Statistics

• About a quarter of the population will experience some kind of mental health problem in the course of a year, with mixed anxiety and depression the most common mental disorder in Britain

•  Women are more likely to have been treated for a mental health problem than men and about ten percent of children have a mental health problem at any one time

•  Depression affects 1 in 5 older people

•  Suicides rates show that British men are three times more likely to die by suicide than British women and self-harm statistics for the UK show one of the highest rates in Europe: 400 per 100,000 population

•  Only 1 in 10 prisoners has no mental disorder

• 9.6% or nearly 850,000 children and young people aged between 5-16 years have a mental disorder

• 7.7% or nearly 340,000 children aged 5-10 years have a mental disorder

• 11.5% or about 510,000 young people aged between 11-16 years have a mental disorder

Filming in public

Local authority
If you want to film on public land you will need permission from the appropriate local authority or council. They are responsible for public land, public buildings, roads and parking. The UK screen agencies can help you get in touch with the appropriate local authority contact.

Police
You will need the full co-operation of the local police force if you plan to film on a public highway or use special effects, explosives or fire arms (including replicas). You will also need permission to portray uniformed police officers or marked police vehicles on film.
You should inform the local police force in writing of any planned filming within its jurisdiction. The UK screen agencies can help you arrange this process.

Filming on public roads
Before filming on a public road you must contact the local police and the Highways Department of the local authority. Both will need to make sure that your plans are safe and pose no threat to road users. If you plan to stage stunts, a stunt co-ordinator should be involved in any planning discussions.
You will need details of the safety conditions covering any tracking vehicles you hire and also find out what permissions and rights clearances have been granted at the location.

Permission and Rights clearances
If you film an actor inside a store or restaurant, you need written permission to use the location and also to show the chain’s name or trademark. If you film outside a store or restaurant you do not need permission to show its name or trademark – however, if the location chosen is used to communicate a negative message in your film (for example, a film about ‘poisoned restaurant food’) you may risk legal proceedings. You do not need to ask passers-by for permission to feature their faces in a film. Under UK law, the copyright of film shot in a public place resides with the filmmaker.
