Regulations

1) What is regulation and why do media industries need to be regulated?
Regulation is the process of prohibiting or reducing a certain type of content or content that does not meet certain regulation standards from a type of audience. Media needs to be regulated due to the fact that certain content should not be shown to certain age groups.

2) What is OFCOM responsible for?The OFice of COMunication (OFCOM) is responsible for regulating television, radio, telephone services and some aspects of the internet, although the areas most relevant to media students are TV and radio

3) Look at the section on the OFCOM broadcasting code. Which do you think are the three most important sections of the broadcasting code and why?

Section 1: Protecting the Under-Eighteens
Section 2: Harm and Offence
Section 3: Crime
Section 4: Religion
Section 5: Impartiality and Undue Prominence of Views and Opinions
Section 6: Elections and Referendums
Section 7: Fairness
Section 8: Privacy
Section 9: Commercial References in Television Programming

4) Do you agree with OFCOM that Channel 4 was wrong to broadcast 'Wolverine' at 6.55pm on a Sunday evening? Why?
Yes i agree because they should have broadcastered it after 8 or 9 when kids have gone to bed as it has a lot of violence and is no suitable for children to see. 5) List five of the sections in the old Press Complaints Commission's Code of Practice. 
Section 1: Accuracy
Section 2: Opportunity to Reply
Section 3: Privacy*
Section 4: Harassment*
Section 5: Intrusion Into Grief and Shock

6) Why was the Press Complaints Commission criticised?
due to its lack of statuary power

7) What was the Leveson enquiry and why was it set up?
The leveson enquiry is a phone hacking scandal and it was set up because a company discovered how to hack the royal families phones.

8) What was the PCC replaced with in 2014?
The PCC was replaced with IPSO in 2014. 

9) What is your opinion on press regulation? Is a free press an important part of living in a democracy or should newspapers face statutory regulation like TV and radio?
My opinion on press regulation is that it should only be regulated until the point of freedom of speech as everyone has a right to their own opinion and it shouldn't be censored.  

10) Why is the internet so difficult to regulate?

The internet is hard to regulate because nearly everyone around the world uses the internet for different purposes so therefore to regulate every section and area will be hard as there are loopholes.

Cinematography video feedback/learners response

Mr Halseys comment: some great shots and narrative is effective in engaging audience POV of the kick was excellent In other places, you lost focus (e.g. over the shoulder shot) In terms of narrative, needing to use text (2 hours later) is usually one to be avoided but nevertheless an effective response No titles/shot descriptions Feedback from fellow students: WWW: Good/interesting narrative range of shots music went well good acting  good camera work captivating storyline very well plotted EBI: Add in the names of the camera shots Try and get cleaner shots Show different shots I believe I portrayed an interesting storyline where the range of shots with the rapid movements of each shot allowed the audience to feel on edge and more interested in the narrative. Also the music allowed this to happen as it gave that dramatic effect. The camera work was also good by Samie Miah as there were no shaking allowing people to be more focused on the narrative rathe...

statement of intent learners response

Vaagesan Mark: 5 Grade: C Comments on Statement of Intent: ·          There is a lot of impressive content here – you’ve clearly thought about your concept in detail, the title and tagline are excellent and you use some media terminology and theory. However, I’m worried this doesn’t meet the brief. I know you address this in the statement but I just don’t think a pre-watershed show aimed at a family audience would have this narrative. One to think about and reflect on seriously. ·          In terms of word count, I think you have too much narrative description and not enough of the other aspects of the statement of intent. ·          You need a lot more media terminology in terms of the technical construction of your trailer – camera shots, sound, mise-en-scene, editing. Due to the word limit you won’t be able to include too much but choose a coup...

It then cuts to a dolly shot of cars with music which therefore gains the interest of the audience. Different match on action shots which also adds realism. The adding of slow motion is appealing which therefore catches the eyes of the audience. There is a lot of tilt and panning shots at the start showing a still position which allows the audience to distinguish the setting rather than the camera moving around. The characters are all present in one room and is easily identifiable my the emotion and increased roles. The narrative is also under stable from their body movements, emotion and the props being a lot of money which may imply illegal mo...
