M3 - Describe legal and ethical considerations required to comply with regulatory bodies for an original radio programme
Legal and ethical issues to be considered for my radio production:
Copyright - copyright is a key law which I need to consider and follow when creating my radio production. It will be vital for my show to have the right licenses and permissions to use some of my proposed content. This is because if I don't gain the permissions for use of the content, the show can be taken down, and I could also be sued for using this content. I am able to use any content originally subjected to copyright if the copyright agreement is 70 years old. Also, this means that the content is available to the public for use. For my radio production (Tyler, the creator - Controversies), I will need to gain a PRS and PPL license agreement, this is so I can use any of the songs I wish as long as they follow the OFCOM (Office of Communications) regulations. This is to protect my audience as they rules ensure that the language used is safe for all audiences.
Data Protection Act 1988 - The data protection act helps to make sure what I produce stops personal information from being used in the show. This means that private information such as: phone numbers, addresses and contact information can't be shared with anyone unless I have permission from the owner of the information. So to ensure that I follow all of these rules, I will make sure that I go through the rules of the Data Protection Act and ensure that the content which I produce doesn't break any of these rules.
Discrimination - The rules against discrimination are set to prevent discrimination of anyone on any of the following: Age, Race, Disability, Religious Beliefs or Sexual Identity. I will ensure that I follow these rules when producing my radio show, which will mean that my content will be suitable for people of all ages and won't cause any offence to any of my audience.
Deformation of character - As my radio show will be specifically talking about Tyler, the Creator, I will need to ensure that what I produce is 100% accurate. Deformation of character (AKA - Liable), is when you say anything about someone which isn't true or proven. This is because it could effect how the person is perceived and effect how people think about them. I could potentially get fined as well if I get caught of producing Liable content. As the creator for my show, I will need to ensure that what gets produced (the end product), is 100% accurate and nothing is said about Tyler, the Creator which hasn't been proven or could negatively effect him unless it is proven to be true.
Ethical Issues - As my show could be viewed by a wide variety of audience members, I need to ensure that the content which I produce won't have any ethical issues. Issues that I could have would be discussing Rave based harassment or any kind of sexual harassment, this means that my audience won't be offended by what I produce.

The radio show I am making is a Radio Documentary about Tyler, the Creator and what he has done throughout his music career.
The codes and conventions of this genre 'Radio Documentaries on Music' are:
Voiceover/Narrator - It most of Radio shows, there is almost always a presenter talking about the topic and discussing the information around it. However, in a documentary, there has to be someone presenting the topic. This is because there will be a lot of information and facts in the show, which will be hard to get across to the viewer without a presenter for the show. Also, the presenter has to be enthusiastic about the topic to prevent the viewer from getting bored. This way the show is as interesting as possible and the audience want to continue watching it.
Interviews - In many radio documentaries which I have listened to, most of them have some form of interview. These are used to make the show more interesting and bring a different opinion to the matter being discussed on the show. Interviews bring a more realistic view to the show as a new voice can feel refreshing as listening to the same voice too long can get a bit boring.
Music (songs and beds) - Considering that the genre of this broadcast is music documentary, it is very expected for there to be music in the documentary itself. These are often used in a few different ways, which are: Songs playing and music beds. These are both used for different effects, a music bed is used to stop the audience from getting bored with the show, and allowing them to listen to a vocal discussion without just the voices. And playing songs in the documentary can allow the audience to enjoy a specific song from the artist. Usually, music played will be the music by the artist (or tribute music), which means that audiences are reminded of the artists music and are able to hear what their songs are like whilst gaining information about the artist. The shows sometimes play specific songs to connote meanings, or to help explain a point. They can also be used if the show is quoting lyrics from a specific song as it allows the audience to hear the quote instead of it just being spoken to them.
Archive Footage - Archival footage can be used to bring back old content relative to the music artist, these can be in many forms such as an old interview, or an old quote. This allows the show to have a break from the presenter, and give the audience a refreshing voice to listen to.
Jingles/Stabs/Stings/Idents - These are different audio techniques which attract and gain the audience's attention. They can be used in different locations in the show, and this allows them to break up the content and help introduce the show/new topics. These are also used to remind the audience on what they are listening to, and who is presenting the show.
Intro and Outro - Often, in the Radio Documentaries, Intros and Outros are used to introduce the show, and to end the show. This means the audience can be prepared for the show when its about to start and also gain some more information about what the show will entail. The outro allows the audience to gain more information on who created/presented the show and which broadcaster aired the programme.

Codes and Conventions which apply to the 'Tupac Shakur - Hip Hop imortal' Documentary:
Firstly, the programme starts with a Intro (0:30 - 0:39) introducing the programme and the host so it follows that convention. It then goes into David Bowie's 'Golden Years' the song as a underlay while an interview responses fade in (0:42 - 0:56). This follows the convention of music being used as beds. (1:17 - 1:19) Golden Years fade into 'Ashes to Ashes' this is another example of the convention of music used. (1:31 - 1:43) Voiceover is used to give a backstory to the roots of David's music 'He learned the saxophone and played in a number of bands' (1:50 - 2:15) An interview with a friend from Bowie's childhood is used, this follows the convention of Interviews.

How the codes and conventions apply to my planned Radio Documentary:
Voiceover - In my Radio documentary, I plan to use a voiceover by a presenter for the show. This will be throughout the show and be the main source of information which the audience will receive. For the voice over, I will need a presenter who is interested in the topic of Tyler, the Creator and is enthusiastic about the topic. I plan for the presenter to be a young male with a relatively low tone.
Interviews and Vox Pops - In my show, I plan to use an interview and some Vox-pops to help split up the content. These are conventional for radio documentaries as they are a great source of public opinion and information. I will use these to discuss Tyler, the Creator, and also to discuss his music. From these I will be able to present information which is from the public to my audience.
Music - Considering that my documentary is a music documentary, it will be vital for me to use musical elements in the programme. I will have to gain the PPL and PRS licences to use the copyrighted music as planned, because I wish to use music created by Tyler, the Creator. I will use music in two ways for my show, firstly thought music beds, which means the presenter will be talking to the audience about Tyler whilst his music is playing underneath the voice over. This will intrigue the audience and keep them interested in the show as it splits up regular talking in the show. Secondly, I will be playing music by itself to the audience, which will allow them to listen to the songs with no interruptions.
Archive Footage - If I decide to use archival footage in my radio documentary, I will possibly use an interview with Tyler, the Creator as this will give the audience a lot of information and allows the audience to hear Tyler's voice when he isn't performing.
Jingles/Stabs/Stings/Idents - I will use a few different sound elements like these to enhance my radio documentary, such as a phrase stating the Title of the document, and who is presenting it. I will use other jingles and sounds to keep the audience engaged in the content.
Intro and Outro - I will definitely include these as they will be introducing and signing off my content, these will help the audience to know when the show is about to start, and when it is going to end.
Considering all of the elements I plan to include, I feel that my radio documentary will defiantly apply to the codes and conventions of a radio documentary. This means that my radio programme will fit the genre I am going for and be a successful documentary.
As I have included all the main codes and conventions that Radio Documentaries on Music usually contain, I believe that my Radio Programme fits that genre and will be successful as a Radio Documentary on a music artist/band's life. Which then means that my product will apply to the client brief.
