There are a few types of contracts in T.V and film
industry that show different work times. These contracts are.
-Full-time and part-time contracts
This is when the employer works a certain amount of
hours; it also comes with benefits like annual leave and sick leave. Normally
work 30-40 hours a week.
Part time, this carries fewer hours then a full
time job, and does not get the benefits of annual leave and sick days, working
less then 30 hours per week.
-Fixed term contracts
A contract that is only available in a pre-arranged
time, they have a contract with the agency not the company the agency is working for. They only have that job for a cretin amount of time.
-Agency staff
These are people that fill in for other workers due to sick
leave or annual leave, they still get the same treatment and the same rights as
the worker who has left. Temp is at the job for a cretin amount of time, hired
by a cretin agency that a company got involved to hire a temp.
-Freelancers, consultants, contractors
Working for themselves, is not committed to a
particular employer but is represented by a agency or company.
-Zero hour contracts
Does not to work for an employer, agrees to be
available for work as and when required, this means no hours are recorded or
specified.
Exclusivity
This is when someone in the industry has made an official agreement, with the time they have been working for the company, as a production is in the process of people involved in the T.V and film that is being shot within the same time of other projects come up, the others in the company would not be able to go to a different project as they are in a different contract with in a different project.
Confidentiality is when someone who has a contract for a show has to keep secret cretin parts of the show they are on a secret to show as a surprise for an audience. This means there is a play of silence in this contract, meaning that this is a set of rules or a promise that stops you and gives you limits for doing cretin activities. An example of this is a lawyer, often required by law to keep confidential anything pertaining to the representation of a client. An example In the T.V and film industry all cast and crew are meant to sign this part of the contract to keep the production ideas a secret, if this is broken then action will be taken to the person that has broken this contract.

There are many different codes of practises for the BBC, making sure that there audience is getting the best and the most out of the channels broadcasted. Knowing that there are codes of practise that they have to follow means that they have to be carful how they work, and make sure they keep up to things that have to be done within production and broadcasting.
The BBC's codes of practise before airing are the following,
-Causing harm and effect
WIth this code they talk about how they as a company should be sensitive towards viewers, and keep in touch with standerds as well as audiences, making sure they are protected over children, whilst airing their shows. They explain that they having regular meetings about causing harm and effect, making sure that they always take there audience into consideration whilst in pre production and post production stages. Because there shows are for entertainment purposes, their should not be any inappropriate language during shows. They should treat their audiences as equal and not to judge, insult or discriminate against any age, gender, race, culture or sexual orientation. These are examples that the BBC have come up with to protect their audience from any harm or offence when watching their shows.
-Truth and accuracy
The BBC explain with this code and convention that when necessary, facts and information that are in the show should always speak the truth to the viewers. They also explain that when airing their shows it is the upmost importance that the information told should be 100% accurate for the viewer watching, so they are not getting any false information. especially with the BBC news the audience will expect the company to have high standers of professionalism, which will not be seen if they produced faulse statements and made up stories. Gossip is not permitted on the BBC, an example of this is if their is any news story that has been based on the social media sight e.g twitter, the BBC are not seen to cover it. This is because their viewers do not expect gossip to be aired on the news, due to many stories being made up and not accurate.
The codes of practise that are shown on the BBC I think are fair to all their viewers, because they are always taking their audience into consideration when deciding many different factors in the different stages of production. They also make sure all viewers are comfortable whilst watching, because of these codes of practise. They get accurate information making BBC an accurate source to turn to when finding out different storys that are happerning around the world.
These codes as well as others that the BBC use hinder many workers in the industry, it gives them a structure on how certain shows should be put together, showing and explaining what can not be involved and what is unacceptable to be shown to an audience. If putting together a story about something distressing that has recently happened showing a video for evidence, swearing is not to be used on this show giving them guidelines on clips and evidence and shows that are aired.

The BBC have many different procducers before airing a show, it has to be under the equality and diversity stage. Equality Analyses should be carried out to insure that everything is equal in all the BBC projects, policies and processes. Each programme goes though a Diversity action plan making sure that the show is ok and right to show to an audience, and so the show meets the objective to the Diversity strategy.
Another procducers before airing are the general policies and guidelines of a show,going over things like advertising, which the BBC is not permitted to to show advertisements or sponsorships on its public servicing. Making sure that their is no adverts on or between shows, making sure their is no branding on their shows, no logos can be seen, guidelines and so on.

The social concerns i have decided to look at on the BBC website is, armed police and the BBC's look in on the mark Duggen , they decided to write a report on there website and talk about the situation that happened with armed police and mark Duggen before the riots began. This report talks about how the shooting went down and views from the armed police and from views for what mark duggen story is. They are quotes from witnesses and the armed police them more information about the event. The way the BBC showed this story was very balanced, not taking anyone sides or giving in their own opinion, the BBC is their to educated audiences on event to given them the information they need to agree with a certain side. With every other report or an article i have looked at, only the BBC i have found is telling the audience the situation and not telling the reader their opinion.

At the moment there is a show called benefit street, showing a street that has mainly people calming money from the government, which has started an uproar on people calming benefits , which crated many different talkes about it. In this report, it talks about labour stripping benefits of people who do not no basic english, maths and computer skills. When explaining the situation, the BBC talk about it in a way of explaining the situation to the reader not writing down any opinion. This I think is because of there being no main reporter writing this report. Many quotes are embedded into this repot showing what has been said by others about this situation. By the way this is coming across the report is very fair, not giving the reporters opinion and being strongly against one side, which lets the reader think about what side they agree with taken in both sides of or argument or debate. When looking through the report, i found no evidence of BBC saying anything negative about labour choices or the people in london on benefits.
