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

 I think that an educated elite should decide on what the appropriate level of sex and violence there should be ( which in my opinion should be the least amount possible) because they have a better understand of what children think like as they would have studied the way a child ,mind works and at what age they start to understand things on a deeper level where they know the difference from the right and wrongs by themselves.

However the counter argument could be that children eventually will be exposed to this when they get older so is there a point and there is because the child will eventually grow up and they probably will eventually see these things so why must they be exposed to this so early on, there’s no rush for them to see graphic things as this could lea to the child evolving damage tot there mental health which will be harder to confront in the future.


So by having an educated elite deciding what is appropriate and not will allow children to gradually be exposed to these thing with psychologically harming the from a young and vulnerable age.

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

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

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
