I have had to obtain consent from the actors in order to establish that they understand what I will be doing with the material and for what purpose. I used the official media consent form from my school, which is intended to be given to students under the age of 18 so that the parent or guardian of the individual can give their permission for their young person to be filmed. My main actor is 17, nearly 18, so they had to fill out this form in order to take part in my media project. The actors I am using who are above the age of 18, can give their written consent on behalf of themselves. I have to have media consent forms for all of the actors, despite how much they will be filmed or how large their role is in order to adhere to media production rules and regulations.

Then, I also had to obtain consent from the authority in charge of the locations that I am using to ensure that it is appropriate and confirmed that I can use this space to film. For the school location, I had to obtain permission from the headteacher. I did this by finding her school email on the schools website, where I then wrote her an email explaining what I wanted to do, where and any further information that I deemed relevant.
Here is a copy of the email that I sent to the headteacher:
And here is a copy of the reply I got:
