Do you know about Laws or Restrictions for film in Victoria?

When shooting in public spaces it is also wise to keep in mind general common sense considerations. The ones most often encountered by video makers include: 000 Heroes. Firearms, weapons, mock fighting, holdups etc. If your project requires this sort of action then advising local authorities is a must. Members of the public and the police may see the (fake) gun wielding maniac before they see the tripod and boom mic. Ditto for anything involving loud noise, explosions or intrusive lighting. We were here first! You've found the perfect park, bus stop, shopping centre, alley location etc for your project. If it's a public space you do not have the right to just turn up, commandeer the area and prevent other members of the public from using it and going about their business. If you require controlled use of a public space then a few phone calls to the local council or management of a facility is the polite, and stress free, way to go. Added Extras. It's sort of creepy and not altogether right to video unsuspecting members of the public for use in your masterpiece, even if they are perfect additions. Think how you would feel about turning up in the background of a music video in the process of correcting a wedgie you got after completing a sweaty jog in a park! Bloody show folk! It goes without saying that you should leave any public space the way you found it. Leaving rubbish, damaged plants or property in your creative wake will not earn you an A+ for professionalism or public relations. Good luck with the music video shoot! Tulipa.
