Logistics- Regulations : Coursework

Regulation

1.) Outline the regulatory body for your chosen medium and explain how they regulate their products:
- The Independent Press Standards Organisation Regulates what can be published in newspapers and magazines and determines whether it is suitable for the public to view. The Editors' Codes of Practice sets out the rules that the publications regulated by IPSO have agreed to follow.
- The Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) is the independent regulator for the newspaper and magazine industry in the UK. We hold newspapers and magazines to account for their actions, protect individual rights, uphold high standards of journalism and help to maintain freedom of expression for the press.

- IPSO's Code:

It is the responsibility of editors and publishers to apply the Code to editorial material in both printed and online versions of their publications. They should take care to ensure it is observed rigorously by all editorial staff and external contributors, including non-journalists.

 Editors must maintain in-house procedures to resolve complaints swiftly and, where required to do so, co- operate with IPSO. A publication subject to an adverse adjudication must publish it in full and with due prominence, as required by IPSO.

-There are 16 key areas which all are explained on the IPSO website. These highlight the areas of information which should not be reported on in magazines or newspapers. Some of these are; Accuracy, Privacy, Harassment, Reporting suicide, Children, Hospitals and more. All of these headings have rules explained underneath them in order to guide the magazines of what they can and can not include in their magazine.
- For example under the Accuracy heading the bullet points explain that the press must take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information or images. The press should promptly correct the misleading statement or distortion and may where appropriate publish an apology.  And finally the press even though they are free to campaign and editorialise they must distinguish clearly between comment, conjecture and fact.

2.) Explain the dual function of the organisation. (complaints):
- IPSO is a dual functioning company. As well as setting the codes of practice that magazines have to follow they also take complaints and discipline the companies if they do not follow the regulations. Members of the public that are not satisfied with the information published in magazines or newspapers can  complete an online complaints form or send in writing their complaint.
- Anyone can make a complaint to IPSO, however there is a four month time limit after the media product is published in which they can report their opinion.

- What can the public complain about?
  • articles
  • images (including video)
  • audio material on newspaper and magazine websites
  • readers' letters
  • edited or moderated reader comments on newspaper and magazine websites.
You can also complain about the behaviour of journalists including:
  • refusing requests to stop taking photographs or asking questions
  • using hidden cameras or recording devices to obtain material
  • failing to be sensitive when dealing with cases involving grief and shock
  • failing to obtain the proper consent before speaking to children or individuals in hospital or similar institutions.

Poldark Analysis

Poldark analysis: How does the clip create intrigue, excitement or interest for the audience? Sound - echo's when flashback, Dark undertone to music foreshadows danger and death, changes when violence starts to show the pace of the action. Symbolic props - The ring shown twice leaves the audience to ask questions about its importance, meaning and where it came from. Flashback - Leads us to question who the women is and why he left her.  Action scene - The sudden change from a peaceful environment to the action scene leads us to question why they are fighting. An audience member who has no knowledge of the time period may question the reasons why they are fighting.  What is the genre? - historical drama - The costumes worn by the characters show the time period which leads us to believe it is set in the past.  - Date written on the screen. - The way the actors talk, formal and similar to previous generations and not like modern day accents....

Camera work and Editing

Image
Camera work and editing: Saving Private Ryan opening scene: In the opening scene of 'Saving Private Ryan' many different camera angles and shots are used to show the brutality of the Second World War. In the opening frames of the film we see an establishing shot which shows around 6 boats carrying soldiers across the sea with a strong current. A tracking shot is used so we move with the speed boats. This allows us to experience what the soldiers are experiencing as the camera moves with the strong current and shows how the soldiers are soaked with water on their journey. When the action begins we see an over the shoulder shot from the point of view of the German soldiers waiting on the hill for the British/American soldiers to attack. This allows us to view the spacial surroundings of the action as we see that the soldiers getting out of the speedboats are at a disadvantage. When the film then cuts to the wounded soldiers falling under water the sound drops and goes...

Hawaii Five O

Hawaii five o: 1.) How does the programme show the crime drama genre? The programme shows the crime drama by the use of Mis-en-scene and the narrative. The narrative shows the story unfolding and this particular episode follows one of the five o agents being trapped in a prison. The costumes worn by the agents portray the crime genre as they wore bullet proof vests which leads the audience to think they will be entering a crime scene.  2.) How is gender represented in the programme? In the programme from my opinion i think that gender in some ways is represented equally. One reason for this is because within the five o agents their are women officers. This challenges the typical stereotypes of women as they are normally seen as inferior therefore this is flipped and in the programme they are strong and violent. However in the programme the male agents reinforce the traditional stereotypes surrounding them. This is because males are meant to be masculine and powerful and ...
