So firstly, i looked at the principal of ASA for the children and it was a lengthy document. For example, here are some examples,
- Children must be protected from advertisements that could cause physical, mental or moral harm.
- Background
The context in which an advertisement is likely to be broadcast and the likely age of the audience must be taken into account to avoid unsuitable scheduling. Advertisements that are suitable for older children and young persons but could distress younger children must be sensitively scheduled or placed. This section should therefore be read in conjunction with Section 32: Scheduling. Care must be taken when scheduling advertisements that could frighten or distress children or could otherwise be unsuitable for them: those advertisements should not be scheduled or placed in or around children’s programmes or in or around programmes likely to be seen by significant numbers of children. Care must also be taken when featuring children in advertisements.
- Definitions
A child is someone under 16.
“Children’s products and services” are products or services of more or less exclusive interest to children.
“Products and services of interest to children” are products or services that are likely to appeal to children but are not of exclusive interest to them.
When reading through this i looked at certain aspects i would have to take into consideration when filming without breaking any laws. It is very difficult not to break any laws as the film is about rape. When filming the particular scene i will have to make sure the audience do not believe i think it's right and that i am making sure the Person who did this pays for it in the right way.( I.E. POLICE)
This also applies to the Harm and offence for example,
Harm and offence
- Advertisements must not be harmful or offensive. Advertisements must take account of generally
accepted standards to minimise the risk of causing harm or serious or widespread offence. The context in which an advertisement is likely to be broadcast must be taken into account to avoid unsuitable scheduling (see Section 32: Scheduling).
