The legal considerations I have to consider is Copyright, Human Rights Act and Defamation Act. In short terms Copyright stops people from stealing your work. To stick by these rules I will ask the creator if I can use their work and even prove that some of it was their work. The human right act protects everyone whether you are young, old, rich, poor and so on. This act allows people to defend their rights in court and to public organisations. The Defamation Act is basically the right and freedom of expression, with this. With this mind it gives people a chance to rescue their reputation.
The ethical constraints that need to be considered are the restrictions that are placed on media productions that stops offence to the viewers and listeners. In the UK there is many organisations that monitor the content and these are BBFC for film, OFCOM for TV and radio, ASA for advertising. With this one I don’t need to consider these because I am not making a film, anything for radio and TV or advertising.
