The video recording act was founded in 1978 by the BBFC the idea was brought up as
Idea due to there being no legalisation as to what was recorded and filmed.
Before the video recording act was established there was no warming as to what the
content contained, so the idea was brought to the table to start putting ratings on tv
shows and films, this would warn the viewer as to what the content contained to prevent
children/minors from watching violence or pornography.
Copyright
Copy right is very important in the TV and film industry as there are very strict guidelines
as to what and what cant be used. If a tv show is broadcasted with unauthorised
copyrighted material then the show will be taken down which will cause a serve loss in
the companies profiting.
The purpose of copy right is it gives the creator of their product credit for their work and
to make sure that they are getting profit/credit for their product.
This protects the content creator from being ripped off, without copyright the content
creators work could be stolen and sold/credited by someone else.
If copyright infringement laws are broken, then the content will either be removed from
its platform or the content will be taken down.
An example of copy right laws being broken
ITunes broke copyright laws in 2011 by broadcasting a film makers work without consent
from the copyright holder and the copyright holder said to Apple that they did not want
their films on the iTunes store as they only want it to be found on their personal website,
apple acted on this a took down the films.
Representation of gender
Men and women should both be represented equally so it represents their
branding as unbiased, equality is a very sensitive topic and favouring one sex
may cause issues for the company.
Both sexes are represented as strong in an equal way and weak in an equal way
it is giving both sexes the option to be equally anything.
For example, in kick ass represents both male and female characters as being
strong and powerful, this film also represents these things in a diverse range of
ages the powerful female in the story is a young girl and the powerful male is a
teenage boy. This way it is representing power in both genders and gives hope to
all ages.

Censorship
Censorship is is a form of tv monitoring used to monitor speech, information when its
logged as inappropriate or harmful to viewers. Speech is also monitored to filter political
views, this is so no views are being discriminated against and the show isnt being biased
to any political views or leaders.
Censorship is important in the TV industry as it is important for the viewers to not be
effected.
It is important for music included in tv shows to be censored as minors that could be
listening in the day may be effected by the language and parents of the minors would not
be happy.
A popular tv show called Family Guy is played on BBC Three at 10:30pm because it
contains explicit language and by putting it on late night TV it is less likely for a minor to
be exposed to its explicit content.
In 1953 Marlon Brandos The wild ones was sent to the board. It is a story about a motor
bike gang that terrorised a small village in America, this was banned as the board where

no option but to come to the conclusion that: "We are unable to issue a certificate for this
spectacle of unbridled hooliganism." The film was banned. (BBC, 2011b)
The film makers asked the board to re-consider, but the board said that it will remain
banned for 14 years.
