Top ten tips for filming access documentaries

 

When: Tuesday 19th June 2018

Time: 6.30pm for a prompt 7.00pm start

Location: 01zero-One, Hopkins Street, Soho, W1F 0HS

Using clips and practical examples this talk from Abbas Media Law looks at the contractual, legal and regulatory issues that can crop up in access docs, including data protection, defamation and top tips for drafting access agreements. The talk will be invaluable for anyone involved in filming with organisations such as the emergency services, hospitals, prisons, bailiffs, RSPCA, schools, corporations and airports.


Issues will be brought to life through ten thorny questions such as “the police want my rushes can I refuse?”, “what clauses go in an access agreement?”, “how do I obtain CCTV footage from the police?” and “can I feature a contributor in a programme if they withdraw consent?”.


If you have a burning access question this is also your chance to grill the Abbas Media Law legal team who regularly advise on access docs and are some of the most experienced  television content lawyers in the country.


Cost (to include refreshments): Free to PMA members and £30 for non members payable to Co-operative Bank, Sort code: 08-92-99, Account number: 65213803 using your name as reference.
