catch up on blog

i have not recently been on my blog so its going to be a catch up.
recently we have been learning about how the audiance is influenced by the TV and how you are unable to control what you watch most of the time as people turn the TV on to watch it for no reason or they havnt specifically turned it on to watch a certain show.
how teenagers are influenced by the reality of violent video games and how some people cant realise whats real and whats not.
we also have discussed that programmes like ''little britain'' which is shown after the water shed can easily be accessed before the water shed on bbc ''iplayer'' where you only have to click ''yes'' to watch it and say that you are over 15 by clicking a button there is no conrol over this.
we have also covered small amounts of representation
mass media communication includes- signs and symbols, television, radio, film/cinema, literature, internet, contemary music and also tele communications.
key concepts are learnt through life by watching films and reading newspapers
the film makers such as steven spielberg study the concept of representation.
writers and acedemics over many years have explained the effects and proceses of media texts and industries.
contoversial material such as bad language, sex and violence is seen to be more harmful when shown on television because it arrives in our homes, possible unanounced and uninvited by its audiance.
recently there has been complaints made about TOP GEAR as jeremy clarkson said about truckers that all they do is ''change gear, change gear, change gear, rape a prostitute, change gear, change gear, murder'' which we as a class discussed as it was shown before the water shed some of the arguements were ''it was before the water shed and alot of younger children watch the show and they are now going to think that all truck drivers rape prostitutes and murder people'' others included ''people that ofter watch TOP GEAR know what jeremy clarkson is like and they should not have shown it to there children if they didnt want them to hear things like this. personally i dont think there was anything wrong with it.
i have also finished my filming and have started to edit it on the macs which is going semi successful as i have lost a small bit of my film and cannot find it. if i dont find it thn its an easy secene that i can film again.
