A Grade: Can you argue the BBFC has become increasingly liberal, or concerned with upholding conservative or traditional moral values. Use effects theories and debates to justify your position.
100 years old, progressively become more liberal (since 1980s Moral Panic and Video Recordings Act), where do the BBFC now focus their attention as a regulator when CLASSIFYING and SUGGESTING cuts.
6 years old article http://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/nov/10/bbfc-celebrates-100-censored-cinema
Why did its decide that this film should not be seen by anyone - remembering its highest order is human rights to decide what an 18+ should watch themselves.
http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/oct/13/reported-hate-crimes-rise-by-almost-a-fifth - social context?
Arguments for and against decision - Liberal or conservative opinion?
Does this make a difference?
How do they compare to the Video Nasties Case Studies of the 1980s http://leighmediaasfilm.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/451-lesson-plan-recap-video-nasties.html
Task to analyse Case Study 3 and produce revision Top Trump
Section 1:
Case study title and year
Media sector
Regulator responsible
Statutory or non (self)
Pro or reactive
Guidelines or rules breeched
Regulator powers and decision taken/recommendations made?
1. Social/political factors effecting the Case Study
2. extenuating/legitimising factors: art, controversial ideas or moral panic?
3. Media effects arguments/debates
Desensitization
Copycat
Negotiated, oppositional, preferred readings
Hypodermic Needle/Effects
Scapegoat
Moral Panic
Catharsis
4. Is the contemporary BBFC an example of regulation best described by "Individual Freedom/responsibility" or "Nanny State?"
Give an example of a decade and examples of films when this was not the case in the BBFCs history.
5. Are the BBFC effective in protecting children and vulnerable - or are they protecting society's moral standards?
Reasons why yes
Reasons why no
Protecting children or moral standards?
Conclusions:
What challenges does the regulator face from online media technology in being effective in protecting the vulnerable or enforcing their practices?
Compare this Case Study to the Moral Panics of past film regulation (Video Nasties and Jamie Bulger) - what are the differences?
Is it typical for the BBFC to ban film releases/deny a certificate in recent years?
Is this regulator stricter/liberal or consistent in comparison with other regulators/case studies?
How are films and games regulated differently and more liberally than OFCOM broadcasting? Why is this?
Is this a typical challenge for BBFC to consider - compare the Media Effect & debates this raises to other Case Studies: Hunger Games and Blue is the Warmest Colour
Do you agree with BBFCs decision? Justify your position using 1 or 2 Media Effects theories or Arguments presented by critics/commentators
Based on previous studies, do you think it will eventually be granted a Certificate - why?
Summarise what we have learned from this Case Study - why would you use it, what arguments or points about contemporary regulation does it show?
Recommendation - would a single regulator be more effective in protecting the vulnerable? What would be the negative points of doing this?
