How effective is Film and TV regulation in the Netflix era?

The Film and TV regulation is partially ineffective in the regulation towards the Netflix era. This is due to the fact that Netflix are independent regulators. So they are able to do what they want. In some cases, Netflix will take the Film and TV regulation into consideration, however they do not have to act on these cases due to the fact that they regulate their own Content. "We're not about censorship and haven't been for a long time," said Mr Dawson. "We're about giving people the information they need." This conveys the fact that the Film and TV regulation are ineffective, as Netflix want to please the audience, so they don’t use censorship and they haven’t used it for a long time. Netflix debuted Hemlock, which has been created by Eli Roth, who is the director of Human Centipede 2, which is currently banned in the United Kingdom, due to the fact that it has been refused classification, as it consists of inappropriate and its sexually graphic content. However, 250,000 films have been classified for online consumption, and Netflix ae using the films ratings. The Film and TV regulation to have some effect on the Netflix era, but they are mainly ineffective.

Should society or the individual or an educated elite decide what is an appropriate level of sex and violence to expose children to?



An Educated Elite should make the decision of what an appropriate level of sex and violence Children are exposed to. This is due to the fact that they have experience and they are qualified to do so. If the individual is a child, then they would be unable to self regulate their selves, this is due to their lack of knowledge and understanding the difference between right and wrong. Professor George Gerbner, developed the cultivation theory, which means peoples view on reality has been Blurred.

Research & Planning Essay - Creativity

Throughout the 2 years I have studied media at A Levels, I have learnt the importance of the skills of research and  planning, as it allowed me to expand my knowledge and understanding, which enabled me to become more creative. After creating the tasks I was set to create, which was my AS music magazine and A2 horror teaser trailer, I have learnt that conventions are vital when creating products. The conventions allow the genre of your product to be established, as conventions are used to make the product recognisable to the audience. My AS preliminary task was unsuccessful. This is due to the fact that I was not given anytime to plan or research about the type of magazine I was being asked to create. I had to create the magazine based of the minimal knowledge I had, which included, the structure of the magazine. Due to the fact that I was unable to research, I had difficulties adding conventions.

Prep 3.4

General definition, information  –  The BBFC and PEGI are the two organisations who certificate and rate media products. The BBFC are an non-government regulatory body to which films are submitted for classification based on their content. PEGI used descriptors that are placed on the back of the video games packaging. These descriptors explain the main reason behind why games have been given a particular age rating. Specific points/debates  However this role means that we have to place our trust in these organisations as we, the audience, rely upon them to make the decision of what we should and shouldn’t be subjected to in media products.  Problems are faced by these gatekeepers when it comes to media that they are unable to regulate.  Thesis statement  Although these regulatory bodies are in place there are problems with the systems that prevent them from being used as a means of protection, for the public, from the media.  For e...

Week 2 - Homework prep Task 3.

The film uses different subgenres of horror; for example it uses splatter, monster, j horror psychological and slasher. J horror is used in an interesting way, as it shows he difference between the American system and the Japanese system, as it tries to convey that the Japanese people are able to resolve their problems and go back to being peaceful, whereas the Americans are unable to resolve their problems which makes the society corrupt. The props and items were used in an interesting way as they had symbolic meanings, for example the items that all the characters picked up were symbolic of their death, as we were showed towards the end when the 2 characters were in the cube and the ballerina and the man holding the item they both picked up, symbolised the way that they were meant to die. A convention that the film used in an interesting way is the characters. There were typical characters such as the prostitute, the virgin, the scholar, the fool and the athlete. In this cas...
