LEGAL

Issue	Solved or justified?
Having permission to shoot in Huntington park	As it’s a public park we don’t think we will encounter any problems, however we make sure beforehand that it is okay to shoot there
Copying ideas from other films	We will ensure beforehand that all of our ideas are original, and not direct copies from other films.
Filming people without their permission	We have to make sure we have a signed consent form from everyone we film, to ensure they are comfortable with being filmed if not they could sue us for filming them without there permission

ETHICAL

Issue	Solved or justified?
Strong/ offensive language	Strong language may offended some people, so to get around this we are choosing not to include any offensive language as to appeal to a wider audience
How gender is portrayed	We may face the ethical issue of the male character being portrayed to be stronger and more powerful than the female character, to get over this issue we are going to be un-stereotypical and have the male character die and the female character be able to escape to portray being more than just the stereotypical female in a horror film.
The use of weapons	In our horror film the antagonist will be using a machete, which may be seen as controversial. To get around this we won't show any blood or the machete actually cutting anyone, we will use cut aways, this way people won't be as concerned about the use of a machete.
