Contingency Plans
If my model is unavailable I have a backup model planned however this will have to involve
me changing the outfits planned for the fashion spread as these models will have different
outfits. I plan to retake my images on the 14th February 2020 as this is a week after giving
me time to plan out where and when I can meet my new model, I will also ensure that my
camera is fully charged before I leave for the Photoshoot, just in case this doesn’t work i plan
to go out at the same time as another student who will also be bringing a camera therefore
there is always a back up if needed
Relevant legal and ethical issues
The law gives the creators of literary, dramatic, musical, artistic works, sound recordings,
broadcasts, films and typographical arrangement of published editions, rights to control the
ways in which their material may be used.
The rights cover: broadcast and public performance, copying, adapting, issuing, renting and
lending copies to the public.
This is a CIVIL law not a CRIMINAL law
Instead the person who owns the copyright has to sue the person they believe has broken
the law.
The case is then heard in a civil court and if the person is found guilty of breaking copyright
law then they will have to pay damages to the owner of the copyright. The amount of
damages is set by the court.
This applies because no one will be able to copy or adapt my Fashion Spread cover
meaning I can’t get ripped off and sales wouldn’t drop if this was a real-life situation. This
also means that, owners will have full ownership and that it can prevent anyone from
profiting off of making copied products this also gives owners the license to be able to sue
companies or organisations.

Privacy
The introduction of the Human Rights Act 1998 incorporated into English law the European
Convention on Human Rights.
Article 8.1 of the ECHR provides an explicit right to respect for a private life:
Article 8 protects your right to respect for your private life, your family life, your home and
your correspondence (letters, telephone calls and emails, for example).
Privacy Law is a law which deals with the use of people’s personal information and making
sure they aren't intruded upon. These laws make sure people can't have their information
wrongly used without permission.
The effect this has on radio:
This means that they can't tell the listeners people’s full names or any private details they
don't want revealed. For example if a viewer calls in but they don't want their name to be
revealed then they can't say it.
