Easter Revision
Research: Revise your case studies
Access the BBFC website and look at
minimum of five different (genre) case studies (films). They must be in the
last five years.
- State the film, director, year and why it has been given the specific rating. Is it appropriate for the film? Use examples from the film to support your argument.
- Would this rating have been different in the past?
- Could this rating be different in the future?
- What is your chosen topic? Why?
- How has it been portrayed in the media? (use examples and quotes, images to support your explanation).
- How has it been regulated by the media?
- How has it not been regulated by the media? (Argue both sides).
- Will there be any changes to the way the media is regulated around your chosen topic?
