Rents Up Again - New Record High....

As a parent, I could argue that schools sending letters saying "NO RECORDING IS PERMITTED. YOU MAY BUY A DVD (at more than the cost of a hollywood movie) VIA US ONLY" is pretty unethical. Particularly as the actors are essentially unpaid slaves in this scenario, and parents are naturally pressured to have a for grandparents etc.

If it was "go for it, please don't add lighting/use flash, if your recording is **** buy this!" I might consider it ethical.

The rant is more aimed at the schools though I guess (as I don't know Percy's margins)

Interesting point.

Further interesting is to consider if the recording company has received permission from all recorded personnel / parents to be video'd.

I'll guess that the school has already requested an authorisation form. If so then: -

Is it ethical that a child could be ommitted from a school play and not be part of his or her classmates show, because a private enterprise want's to make a profit?

Why not jump on the band wagon, it only takes about 30 minutes to film a nativity, the rest is simple so will only be about 10 minutes (so I heard), average bill is around £200-£250 so not a bad investment.

Sorry, can you clarify.
What do you mean with average bill being 200-250?

Jesus. Just give it up.

Actually, Percy, better off saying very little, and certainly I think you'd do better walking away from this thread. Think you have said too much already, with respect, as no amount of words you type is going to stop these people looking for anything and everything to slam you with.

It tells us a lot about what Percy doesn't know to do his job as he needs an Enhanced CRB/DBS and also to be on List 99 if he wants to have access or film at different schools. For someone so successful and good at their job it seems like he is cutting corners to make a profit...

We have had 2 situations where permissions weren't present and worked with the families in both cases and all where happy.

40-50 DVD at £5, schools sell at £6 so make a profit of £40-£50.

Dont worry, it is quite amusing that they keep failing.

You know that I keep saying about you wording things badly to try and make me look bad.

Why don't you just ask if I have an up to date enhanced DBS check?

ps, you won't like the answer :rotfl:

DBS's aren't transferable between schools and sometimes not within schools within the same local authority hence why the List 99's are necessary.

Obviously the correct DBS wasn't present...

I rest my case...

Thanks. So that's £200-250 for you.
And that includes let's say half on hour filming, yes? How much editing time would you spend approx. on such a project?

Before that I had a CRB done by oldham council and all the schools in Oldham where happy to accept it.

I rest my case. :rotfl:

This may well be true, I am geniunely intersted and happy to fill any gaps in my knowledge, what is involved daily/weekly/monthly/yearly? (use whichever are needed).

Ok, rather than just point out the answers,, often it's a worthwhile exercise to provide helpful hints and let the person work out the answers for themslves: -

Let's start at the beginning then.

Firstly, a potential property needs to be identified.
Let's start with what is required ahead of securing a rental property.

1) Can you think of what steps (work) may be required to understand any given local market and assess the potential properties available?

2) Any investor ideally wants to invest the minimum and secure finances elsewhere (this allows personal investment to be utilised elsewhere). Can you think of the steps required to identify finance resource?

3) Will the investment require any modernisation / upgrading? What steps can you think of that may be required?

4) Can you consider what additional costs need to be factored into the purchase?

5) Having understood the local market, the available finance and costs for upgrade, a business model then needs to be evaluated. Can you think of what factors need to be considered to evaluate risk and provide a suitable profit?

Ok, 5 stages for consideration, before the property is even procured / bid for.

Have a think on these activities before we then consider the next stage of actions.

Why do local authorities have List 99's then...
