1)      How effective is film & tv regulation in the Netflix era?

In this new era of entertainment, we ca see that mediums such as Netflix have risen. Thus, making it harder for regulators to regulate. Some may ask is Film and TV regulation necessary especially within the Netflix era. Because Netflix is a available worldwide, it is hard for a single country to decide what should happen etc. Therefore, regulating film and tv may not be effective, as this would mean all the countries would have to decide on a regulation system to take place, or they can simply just not allow Netflix to be shown in their country. Although Netflix does use classifications, there is still problems, because it is easy to access regardless of your age. So, I will say that regulation isn’t as effective anymore, especially during this Netflix era where anyone can watch anything they want. I recommend letting people self-regulate more. As it is becoming more of a choice to the individual and to the parents. But as there is more access to Netflix and other mediums, it opens the doors of desensitisation, which ultimately deny entry for regulation, and lead to more self-regulation.

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

Society and the individual should both decide the appropriate level of exposure to children. I believe this because children can’t always make decisions for themselves, an authority figure may have to step in, and make the choices for them, for e.g. parents or guardians.
It may also be recommended that those who are educated in the area, especially those who specialise in child psychology, they should be the ones we consult. The thing is, they are not children, so their comments and views may be biased or not true. But if you leave such decisions to a child, then society could worsen. It is recommended that the parents, with some input from the government should be ideal. Whatever the laws are in the given country. Children are still young, they are very prone to copying. So if they are exposed too much, then that causes harm. So there needs to be a limit of how much they are exposed too if any. But we all should consider the factors that may play in when making such decisions.

5 Paragraph Essay | Genre Theorists

In this essay, I will be discussing how the following genre theorists: Christian Metz, Rick Altman, Nicholas Abercrombie, Steve Neale & Daniel Chandler, are used in last year’s horror trailers. The trailer I will be talking about is The Collector, by the production group Jumpscare. Christian Metz, theorist for genre characteristics. He claims there are four stages to the genre of film: Experimental stage, classic stage, parody stage & deconstruction. The experimental stage is where the genre is being identified. Then it’s the classic stage, once the all the conventions have been set in the ground and have been identified as the genre.  After the classical stage, it’s the parody stage, this is where they start taking the genre and making it comedic, and, they tend to re-enact scenes from the classical stage. The deconstruction stage is the stage where they start implanting completely new conventions into the genre, they usually team with other sub-genres. Based on the tra

Audience Theory Essay

Audience theory There are two views on the audience theory: Mass Audience, which is passive. This is considered dangerous as it has the power to influence the masses. Then the other view is the Active audience theory, which is interpreted differently compared to the Mass Audience. Active audiences are open to interpretation. I will be applying the audience theory to my summer trailer. Looking at the effects model and comparing it to my trailer. Reception theory, Cultivation Theory, Uses & Gratification Theory, Copycat Theory, Desensitization  Theory, Catharsis & Suspension of Disbelief. These are the theories that are apart of the Audience Theory. First theory I will be talking about is the Copycat theory. This theory refers to how the audience can be influenced and be affected by the media I think that this theory is more suited to other genres than horror because the protagonist is normally the victim in horror movies, such as the sub-genre Slasher, which includes a

3 Analysis of existing Horror Trailers

3 Analysis of existing Horror Trailers Psychological: Insidious In the beginning there was use of close ups. Also different angles from low to high to show the expressions of the characters face. Establishing shots to show the outside and view of the house, this makes the audience feel welcomed into the scene. There were shots of the family before it turned the other way. Zoom shots to put emphasis on what's going on. The use of sound also played a big role.Diegetic sounds that goes along with the editing pace. This creates tension also when the sound goes along with the metronome it ticks along at the speed.Most of the sounds are dark and gloomy. Also the sound and editing worked together. The use of multiple clips together, and at a fast pace indicates that it was montage like. The trailer had aspects of stereotypical views as the woman screamed. Fast paced action to end with and slow paced to start with, that use of contrasting techniques allows for us to understand
