LFTVD theory

Applying L and L to LFTVD

LIVINGSTONE AND LUNT Some ideas of how to apply, what else? 

 • Look at the age rating on dvds for it. Why it got this etc... 
• Where it was shown in the UK and how that might fit into PSB regulation (giving choice to consumers) under OFCOM. 
• Linking content to post watershed scheduling, but how scheduling is not a relevant system of regulation in the contemporary media landscape of place and time shifted media. If it was available on iplayer which as a BBC service, it is regulated in a similar way to standard TV, so it is less of a risk.

Essentially the part to evaluate is the 'idea that the rise of convergent technologies puts traditional regulation at risk'. As part of the Prime subscription more likelihood that younger viewers will come across it by accident or seek it out, having generally less disposable income to spend (or indeed inclination, so perhaps there's an argument for self -regulation via content/genre?) on foreign historical cold war drama.

For each of these you don't need too much more than what's been given to you by the board but it's not easy to understand without explanation or examples so you'll need to research other student presentations, Mrs Fisher's theory videos on youtube,https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUKrxp4BcJrGLzmqAhCjASg
and give us examples we can relate to. Make it fun or serious but try and see if you can think of ways/tricks that you used last year when revising for your GCSEs to help you remember them.

Genre

Genre task from Great Baddow High School Media

Steve Neale says 

• genres may be dominated by repetition, but are also marked by difference, variation and change
• the idea that genres change, develop, and vary, as they borrow from and overlap with one another (Hybrid genre for eg. Scary Movie, Hot Stuff, Zombieland
