Media regulation

1) What is regulation and why do media industries need to be regulated?

It's a system that provides rules and regulations to make sure that all the organisations are fair. The regulation is needed to set a age limit in films and video games to provide children to see things like horror movies.

2) What is OFCOM responsible for?

OFCOM is responsible for granting licences to TV and Radio stations. It is necessary and it's illegal for TV broadcasting and Radio stations to air without it.

3) Look at the section on the OFCOM broadcasting code. Which do you think are the three most important sections of the broadcasting code and why?

Section 2: Harm and Offence, Section 7: Fairness and Section 8: Privacy. I think they are the most important because those are the things that are the most important in everyday life. For example, the privacy of celebrities is often disturbed and something comes up on the media that no one should be able release information that private about anyone. They might not be true and can be really harmful.

4) Do you agree with OFCOM that Channel 4 was wrong to broadcast 'Wolverine' at 6.55pm on a Sunday evening? Why?

I do agree with OFCOM because there might be a warning at the beginning, but families at this hour look around the channels and not see the beginning. Also a lot of parents let their children to watch television on their own when they have something important to do and that way children might change programs.

Language Analyse the game cover for Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (above). 1) How does the cover communicate the genre of the game? It's very Si-Fi, a lot of cold colours, suggesting that the game will contain a lot of adventure/action narrative.

Videogames: Tomb Raider Anniversary

Tomb Raider Anniversary: blog tasks Language and Audience Analyse the game cover for Tomb Raider Anniversary (above). 1) How does the cover communicate the genre of the game? It's definitely adventurous, action, mystic. The outfit worn by Lara Croft is a hint, the weapons holsters coupled with the cargo shorts and blue top will suggest that it's an adventure game, but only because of the genre conventions already developed for games like this, if you didn't know the conventions before, chances are it might have gone over your head.I think the colour scheme represents the best adventure genre through the range of colours, such as brown and gold, which have connotations of mystery and riches, as well as being a key element of colour lighting, as it relates to elements of intertextuality that appear in Indiana Jones films. 2) How does the pose and costume of the character appeal to primarily male audiences? The pose is known in a lot of media texts, exp
