Aminatta Forna - reasons for censorship - Scenes of racial prejudice or sexual assault could lead to copycat crimes - public association with characters. Films aren't real life, do we have to see it? "The fact is images and words have the power to distort the way we think."
The law protects people, should the BBFC as well. Mark Kermode - reasons against censorship - He believes the BBFC think those who are unable to differentiate between reality and fiction are stupid and immature. He thinks the law is open to interpretation and shouldn't be up to the BBFC to decide it. Also that we all see films differently and what one person sees as detestable others may see as moving. David Gauntlett - The effects model tackles social problems 'backwards' The effects model treats children as inadequate Assumptions within the effects model are characterised by barely-concealed conservative ideology The effects model inadequately defines its own objects of study The effects model is often based on artificial studies The effects model is often based on studies with misapplied methodology The effects model is selective in its criticisms of media depictions of violence The effects model assumes superiority to the masses The effects model makes no attempt to understand meanings of the media The effects model is not grounded in theory

Facing front of church text on the right hand side, could have me in the middle instead and text on either side.
Pros Gives a clear idea of what it's all about The symmetry could be visual aethsetic. Cons Text might not contrast well with background. Idea 1: Completely white background with me in a praying position.

A record number of complaints about a KFC TV commercial showing people singing with their mouths full were brushed aside today by advertising watchdogs, who have decided it does not endorse or encourage bad table manners among children. The Advertising Standard Authority's rationale for dismissing the record 1,671 complaints - that the advert was unlikely to "adversely affect" children. Once taught good table manners, children would be unlikely to adversely change their behaviour simply by watching this commercial," the ASA said in its judgment. The ASA passed the complaints to Ofcom which issued a fine and revoked the channel's broadcasting licence. WHY IT SHOULD/SHOULDN'T BE BANNED Should

In November 2014 the advertising standards watchdog ruled that YouTube vloggers did not indicate clearly enough that they were being paid by the brand’s owner, Mondelez, to feature Oreos in their "lick race" videos. The Oreo ruling prompted the ASA’s chief executive, Guy Parker, to warn that the boundaries between advertising and content "are blurring". The new rules apply across all media, including online and social media, and say that if a vlogger is paid to promote a product or service and an advertiser controls the message, vloggers must clearly signpost that they are advertising. The director of the Committees of Advertising Practice, said: "Wherever ads appear we should be confident we can trust what an advertiser says; it’s simply not fair if we’re being advertised to and are not made aware of that fact. "Our guidance will give vloggers greater confidence that they’re sticking to the rules which in turn will help maintain the relationship and trust they’ve built with their followers." The guidelines covers sponsorship, product placement, ‘advertorial’ vlogs, vloggers promoting their own products, and brands sending vloggers items for free with no editorial control of the content. The ASA will discuss the new guidelines with trade bodies, including the IAB, ISBA and the IPA. |
