Unit 1 Assignment 1 Legal Issue and Regulations

I think that the media institution is responsible for movies which rate the age of the movie and when movies and TV are shown at a certain time on TV at all times. They also can ban a certain scene from movies, TV programs and adverts. If the BBFC finds a certain scene too graphic for the younger audience they may cut it out or banned the movie if it contains nudity, indecency, sex, violence.  The BBFC contains five which universal which is for everyone young and old and there’s PG which is parent guide which mean that there maybe scenes unsuitable for the younger audience.  12 is just an icon showing that the movie is only for 12 year olds and over and the same goes for the number 15 icon. 18 is the last icon which means adults only and no else under the age should watch it. For example in some country GTA has been banned as it’s a violent game and people blame the GTA games for making people more aggressive and violent overall.

Games are movies are rated before they are in cinemas or in stores. so when trailers are shown in adverts it's to know the age rating of the product so the young and older audiacen can be aware. so before the audiance decides to buy or watch something they what the product may contain just by the age rating alone and it is also a warning.

The BBFC take in the genre of the product also which can determine the age rate.  so if it was an action movie with blood, death and bad language most of the BBFC members would probably judge it as age 18. This would mean that people of the ages of 18  and over are only allowed to see and play this product as a result. while a genre family movie would probably be comedy and  animation and would be rated U as in for everyone of any age.

A movie of this example would be Creed.

The description of the Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan) never knew his famous father, boxing champion Apollo Creed, who died before Adonis was born. However, boxing is in his blood, so he seeks out Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) and asks the retired champ to be his trainer. Rocky sees much of Apollo in Adonis, and agrees to mentor him, even as he battles an opponent deadlier than any in the ring. With Rocky's help, Adonis soon gets a title shot, but whether he has the true heart of a fighter remains to be seen.
