Legal Responsibilities

There are plenty of legal responsibilities when it comes to making a film magazine and trailer. I need to make sure that there isn't any plagiarism with other ideas that old films have had for example, I can't have the same name as a film or TV series that has already been out, because one- The audience can get confused and Two the original film directors can sue, which in the end won't be good. 

Taken from my last research this point stil stands- "social responsibilities- how the press reflect on the social images that are presented in our society. They need to make sure that the images are fair, truthful, inspiring and that they meet the needs of common consumers of the news. They usually high-light unsolved areas of the society, they have to make sure that they don't overlook or avoid a part of responsibility towards the society." 

Another responsibility is age classification, explained by the BBFC I need to make sure that my magazine is under a specific age classification, for example due to my magazine featuring horror I may have blood and gore, if a child under 12 bought my magazine I could be sued by the parents for allowing little children to view "disturbing images" because it didn't have an age classification on it. Therefore I need to make sure my magazine is at the ages of 15 and onwards, so it will still appeal to my target audience.
