Regulation of the Film Industry

Regulation of the Film Industry

  • Regulation- The rules, restrictions and guide lines that the media industry must follow.
  • BBFC- British Boarder Film Classification, they give every film an age rating that is published.
  • It is regulated by age certificates (On Previous Post)
  • We regulate films, as they can be impressionable on younger children.
Gummo
  • We don't show younger children this, as they are sniffing glue, and it doesn't want to give any ideas to them.
  • It also uses the word 'queer' in a negative manner, which the producer wouldn't want younger people to gather the ideology that something is wrong with being gay.
  • It shows minors on drugs, which is very controversial.
Harrold And Kumer
  • The theme of drugs suggests that it is a 15.
  • There is casual comedic racism, its not a racist film as there are many different ethnicities in the film.
  • The film may be 15, as there is an aggressive use of the word 'bitch', it is a gendered swear word.
The Land Before Time
  • It would be a U as yes it does show death but it is not graphic, it is quite sweet, and its a cartoon.
  • Its less realistic as its a cartoon.
  • It could be PG, as it has a very emotional scene, as it may upset young children as thy wouldn't want parents dying.
Porky's Revenge
  • It might be a 15 as it includes nudity, yet it has a comedy aspect to it, which takes away the sexual nature of the scene.

Introduction to The Times and Constructing Representation  What advantages are there to a newspaper demonstrating a particular political/ideological bias? To control people, and inspire people to carry out actions that they would not of thought of themselves. Ideology is a system of control an power, it is hegemony, it is the newspaper you must agree to it. If the newspaper has a ideology it means they can attract more of a target audience. You can judge someones personality by what newspaper they read, as different newspapers cover different types of stories and have different ideologies. To gain support of a political party, as different newspapers support different parties. Why would a newspaper wish to manipulate the ideology of it's target audience? Our ideas are being challenged everyday, each newspaper has its own beliefs and has its on values, and many people do not realise that they are biassed, they do this to get more people to believe in their ideologi...

Representation and Identity

Image
Anchor Spreadable Butter Advert The groups represented in this advert are the elderly and the young, all within the group of family. The boy monkey is a teenager and the little girl monkey is a pre-teen. The boy monkey looks as though he is a stereotypical teenager as he is wearing a hoodie, which looks like a stereotypical 'dangerous' teenager. The women monkey is old has it seems as though she has stereotypical dementia of an elderly person, and a joke is also made about it. The elderly monkey has a Caribbean accent, portraying different ethnic groups. A stereotype of Jamaican people is that they like food and cooking. Her voice is very soft and makes the advert feel very soft and laid back.  The young boy is inferred to be very sarcastic, the Lexis of him is tat he is informal.

Magazine 2- Adbuster Detournement -  Hijacking or re-routing, AKA 'culture jamming'-   The practise of criticising and subverting advertising and consumerism in the mass media, by methods such as producing advertisements parodying those of global brands. The genre is not immediately clear, its hard to tell as each cover and masthead is completely different, and there is no content on the outside, and makes it very hard to know what is in the inside.  Adbusters seems to be a parody, as it is parodying certain popular subjects in the media. There are a lot of parodies of horror films, as they all have many similar conventions, and are very easy to parody. It could be a political genre, as Donald Trump with a literal barcode moustache is on the front cover inferring he is Hitler. It seems very informal, as it has an enormous central image, and each masthead is different, there is no structure on the front cover. they may have done this as it ...
