Contemporary media regulation

Now that there are all different forms of media avalisble in the world such as magazines, video games, music videos, films and tv programmes they all need to be regulated before being published to the public and cinema is regulated by the BBFC. Regulation is important since it lets people know what kind of content is within a certain media before viewing it, therefore people can decide whether it is suitable for them or not especially young children. Also, a lot must be taken in consideration in regards to who should regulate the media and one, the opinion should not be biased, two there must also be multiple opinions, three all different people's beliefs and values should be taken into account so the media regulation suits everyone and four there should be a sense of equality. There are also many reasons for regulation, as regulation helps narros down ages of audiences and stops young children from watching things that include illegal criminal activity. Moreover, it protects immoral acts from being shown in a positive light as things are reviewed many times before it is published. Lastly, it stops any harmful messages being portrayed to the public such as radicalisation from islamic state groups or gang violence.

Narrative Theory Essay (Timed 30 mins)

In this essay, I am going to be writing about the Summer Trailer me and my group made over these past six weeks which is a psychological horror about a girl's fight between the good and evil in side of her. Within a trailer there must be a sense of narrative that allows the audience to catch and understand what the film being advertised will be about. Therefore, without it, a story is not built up and is not as effective on its viewers. This is different in trailers, as a story is not meant to be told, only parts of the plot are put on screen to leave the viewers wanting more and leaving them with unanswered questions. One of the theories that can be applied to my trailer is the theory of Todorov, however, with trailers, this theory is reversed. For example, a trailer must be a mintage of clips from within the movie, this is so that the audience is left with questions, which watching the full film will then answer. So, in order to do this, it must not follow the set three steps a ...

Real Media Texts Essay

In all types of media there are all different types of conventions, these conventions have specific rules that must be followed in order for an audience to be able to identify that product to a set of stereotypes. In film, it is the different genres and sub genres that all contain contrasting "ingredients" in order for them to be known as a part of that genre but also so they can be broken and reinvented. This widens creativity as the conventions will therefore have another meaning as to what they did in the first place and is how a lot of films and products today must do to stand out to crowds. In As, I created a music magaine front cover, a contents page and also a double page spread. However the conventions that I used I did not know the true deeper meaning behind them and why certain elements were placed a specific way. This therefore limited my creativity as I could not play around and use my own imagination to turn them into something unique. On the contrary, I did und...

Essay on Research and Planning

At the beginning of my college year I did not have many creative skills to use towards my first college magazine which I produced myself with no extra help. I had already had experience in creativity with using cameras of smart phones but apps such as indesign and photoshop I was not very advanced at. For the college magazine also I did jot do any research ans planning of textual analysis and drafting, which effected the end result massively as I was not aware of the conventional layouts or colouring therefore it did not match existing college magazines. Also, since I did not do any drafting my first draft was my final draft and I had no practice so the magazine was not professional looking. However, for my music magazine there was a bit of research and planning completed so, I was able to gather conventional components that I could include/copy to make the magazine more recognisable to the chosen genre which was pop. For example, pop music magazines have bright and bold colours, the ...
