Regulation

-
Regulation is a "rule or directive made and maintained by an authority." It is the action of keeping some content away from specific people e.g. children because it is not suitable. In addition this it is also the action of whether or not allowing the content to viewed in a specific area the being a country (where rules of what is seen, heard is very strict) or public areas where the message to some people could be disturbing e.g. having a poster of the result of smoking impacted the lungs outside a primary school it wouldn't be appropriate. 

The teams who should be regulating should be experienced and well established companies who take everything into consideration. An example of a well established organisation is the BBFC, they were founded in 1912 so have a lot of experienced fro last mistakes to the mistakes from others.  the guidelines for regulating are very open to the public as every 4 to 5 years the BBFC  carry out a major public consultation expertise to what the public thinks about the age ratings they are opening the regulating to the people who would be viewing the content which a majority of the time doesn't lead to a bias decision. 

Regulation is a very important action that takes place because it can start conflicts if not handled carefully. However there are times where companies fail for example the Pepsi advert with the model and realty tv Kendall Jenner for stepping a protest by handing a Pepsi to an officer; the idea may to some would have seen as un harmful but the regulations idiot take into account there current situations the United States is facing when filming the advert.

So to conclude the regulation for any content that is shown has to be regulated that being yourself self consciously thinking whether or not what your are posting on social media is appropriate we to are regulators.

How does narrative theory apply to the trailer analysed

How does narrative theory apply to the trailer analysed? The trailer I will be analysing  is BEDEVILED by Terror House. The theme for this Trailer I believe is possession because of the way in which the girl is acting in the trailer. Todorov's theory was the idea of Equilibrium, Disequilibrium and resolution. In terror house's trailer they use disequilibrium for the montage scenes which a typical for horror trailers to include this allows the audience to get the action part of the film which will interest them. The trailer was set in a non linear way which is shown in the montage of the film.  Comparing terror house's trailer to my summer one I believe I didn't used Todorov's theory correctly, our montage where scenes which were not filled with action they didn't intrigue the target audience. In Terror house they used Levi-Strauss theory in a different way; there isn't a defiant villain/hero or good and bad but in fact the protagonist herself is the

Representation  Laura Mulvey’s theory is that because the most frequent cinema goers are male “The Male Gaze” has now become a norm which can now by certain people (Feminist) be seen as immoral. The theory is that women’s bodies are displayed on screen in films which the male viewer find pleasure from. However even though this gains pleasure from the male viewer it also forces the rest of the audience to see this male gaze through a heterosexual male view. Our trailer included this theory in the shot when one of the protagonists is running in the field, the camera had a full shot which had a complete shot of the female protagonist. In Cabin in the woods there is a scene where the camera follows the “dumb blonde” stock character when she starts to dance and in addition to this the way in which she is dressed is quite provocative forcing the audience to see her in the heterosexual male gaze.   Clover’s theory is that the final girl who is a stock character which is the last fema

The BBFC and PEGI are the two organisations who certificate and rate media products. The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) was set up in 1912 to protect the public from media material that may present harm risk. Originally the BBFC only classified cinema films until the Video Recordings Act was passed in 1984 when it started regulating videos/DVDs. In 1984 the BBFC began to regulate video games as well. From 2003 the responsibility of regulating video games was passed from the BBFC to PEGI (Pan European Game Information). However, the BBFC will continue to classify all games that feature strong pornographic content and ancillary games attached to a wider, primary linear submission. The BBFC are an non-government regulatory body to which films are submitted for classification based on their content. They aim to protect the public by providing them with information that allows them to make a more educated decision when selecting a media products. The BBFC also provide v
