Homework: Essay Pt1 (Intro, Historical Context & BBFC)

"How far do changes to the regulation of media reflect broader social changes?"

Exemplar response: http://ctkmediaa2horror.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/thursday-28-may-2015-exams-grade-essay.html

Introduction
1. Purposes of regulation - to protect vulnerable or to uphold Moral Standards? Control vs protection
Outline how Film, Tv or Games regulation has changed over the years - stricter or more liberal with society - how do the forms compare?

2. Is all media considered equal & regulated as liberally/strict? Which? Should all regulators have a set standard across all media - does that mean 1 single regulator?

*Consider the debates over desensitization, Individual Freedom, scapegoating, technology and access

3. Thesis Statement *Answer the question - your position in relation to regulation of the media: should there be a set moral standard that does not change across time/Is it the duty of statutory regulators to uphold/enforce moral standards/

What role does the individuals responsibility?Is regulation even possible in an increasingly online culture.


Para 2: BBFC introduction - history and key moments in responding to moral panics

• Refer to Case Study on 1980s Video Nasties (Evil Dead or Texas Chainsaw Massacre) & Media Effects theories (Imitable Behaviour, Copy Cat, Moral Panic)- 1984 Video Recordings Act,
• Liberalisation over the years - 'censorship' to 'classification'
• Many of these films being remade and released with 15 or 18 certificates in 2013-2015
• Using age ratings - not banned a film since 2011 (until 2015 Hate Crime)
• Past: Regulation to uphold moral standards - "By the few for the masses"
• Debates surrounding increasing liberalisation from Moral standards to individual freedom to choose at 18
• Protecting children and upholding Moral Standards to just protecting children. 1980s banned list of films = video nasties due to access to unregulated films through home video - imilar to internet?
• VRA 1984 brought in based on questionable research and conservative government agenda - only considered the Effects/Hypodermic Needle approach

Part 3: BBFC Contemporary - reaction to sex and violence

Deadpool vs Blue is the Warmest Colour or 50 Shades

Violence is still a concern when applied to comic characters but increasingly liberal due to desensitisation

Catharsis with violence and context of fictional 'adult' comic book characters emerging to meet adult audience (eg Logan) to critical acclaim and great success

Sexual explicit films considered within their context, mainstream or foreign films having different sensibilities

Is there an inconsistency with how violence is regarded as opposed to sex

Case Study 2: 13 Reasons Why

"Netflix isn't subject to UK media regulations such as Ofcom, despite being able to broadcast its shows here. This is something the Samaritans have lambasted Netflix for, saying: 

It is extremely concerning that a drama series, aimed at a young audience, can be produced outside of the UK and made available to UK audiences and yet not subject to UK media regulation."

3.2 Prep (2 hours) - Debate due 17th Jan

Seminar/debate lesson

Read through the resources and think about the following debates. In your pairs discuss each of the points and prepare your thoughts informed by your reading, the resources and your own research

Write up your answers below to summarise the following arguments - consider a position BOTH for and against:

1. Are regulators able to put in place effective ways of limiting access to content when it is available free on the internet?
2. Is there still a need to protect children and vulnerable adults from 'obscene' or 'harmful' content? Who's responsibility is this - parents, the individual, the industry or the government?
3. Who should regulate? How should a group of appointed people to regulate and make decisions on what the public can and cannot watch be selected? Who should these people be? What are some of the concerns with this?
4. Should acts of violence in the context of terrorism be broadcast on TV before the 9pm watershed when children can view them? Should Youtube allow videos of terrorists beheading prisoners to be uploaded? Why/why not? Who should be responsible for regulating this?
5. What are some the moral and social implications of a permissive and desensitised society.
6. Why are Film and Games regulated by the industry but TV regulated by the government - what do we call these type of regulation? Why is the internet unregulated? Who should take responsibility for this when there are threats made on Twitter or misogyny and homophobia comments on Youtube? Should there just be 1 super-regulator for all media content, including the internet? What are some of the issues with this?
7. What is the most effective kind of regulation - censorship, classification using age certification, restricted access or self-regulation. Can you think of another?

Try and find examples of Games, TV and Films controversies that have been newsworthy in last 2 years.
