BSA103 Broadcasting Standards Authority complaints.

An example of an upheld and non-upheld complaint under the code of "Good taste and decency".

Fiona Edwards complained about two broadcasts of "The fifth Wheel" saying that there was overt sexual content and nudity that was inadequately classified and had unacceptable themes for children. The complaint for the 6.30pm broadcast was upheld but the complaint 1.20pm broadcast not upheld.

After the first complaint, sky apologized and moved the broadcast to 10.30pm, also changing the rating to M.
Edwards wasn't happy with this outcome and then contacted the Broadcasting standards authority.
The Authority upheld the 6.30pm complaint saying that the broadcast was broadcast alongside "The Simpsons", a show that would attract younger viewers.
However, the 1.30pm complaint wasn't upheld because the authority decided that 1.30pm wasn't a time that most children would be watching television and so they wouldn't be likely to see it.

The Broadcasting Standards authority thought that Sky didn't change the rating of the show following the 6.30pm complaint in a timely fashion, as a result of this, sky was asked to pay a fine of 1500 dollars to the crown.

BSA106 German Expressionism.

German Expressionism in film came about after WW1, after Germany lost the war. Germany wanted to revitalise the film industry and to create a better impression for the country.

Unlike other Western films of that period that focused more so on creating realism, German Expressionism distorts reality to create an emotional effect. Expressionism films employed stylised set design, elaborate costuming, shadowy lighting that emphasises bold contrasts of dark and bright highlights and unnatural make-up. The settings are typically distorted and exaggerated, with key themes being madness, criminality and fracturing of identity. German Expressionism was a huge influence in developing the horror genre.

BSA126 Animation Character - Tim Lockwood, Cloudy with a Chance of meatballs.

Tim Lockwood Tim Lockwood is Flint's father in 'Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs'. I picked him because I think he is interesting because he doesn't have any eyes that we can see but the animators are able to show us his emotions purely by his eyebrow movements. Structurally, Tim's face is made up of very simple shapes, His eyebrows are a simple rectangle shape that has been given a hair-like texture design to show they are very bushy. His nose is also a rectangular shape with little realistic design apart from the flat rectangular shape. His mustache is similar to his eyebrows, only a slight curve to show gravity and to make his face seem more realistic. It also doubles as a mouth shape in many ways, similar to how his uni-brow doubles as eyes. The head shape itself is basically a conical shape with curving lines which indicates a chin. Tim Lockwood's personality is quite bland and conventional. Therefore, the shirt he wears is a pale, greyish b
