Unit 7.2 - Legal and Ethical
Adverts:
- Targeting political issues is a legal constraint. For example, the Deforestation advert by Iceland. The advert was later banned, as it brought up the political side of deforestation, although, this caused public outrage as it targeted an important issue.
- An Irish advert, which targeted dangerous driving, at which it was a very graphic depiction of a car crash, hitting a school group. The advert was banned because of ethical reasons, as it was also aired before watershed, meaning children saw the advert.
There were accounts that children were actually scared to ride in their parents cars, or go on school trips because they had been so deeply affected.
Creative media:
- Legal restraints is a large part of interactive media, as their are many creators that are not aware of advertising rights, and how to correctly gain permission for using other content. For example, if a creature uses imagery or content from another company, without gaining permission or giving links to the imagery, then the company has the right to ban the video.
- There are also things in place to stop people from sharing racial, homophobic and any other stereotypical hate on social media. This is in place so tightly, that tweets from celebrities, from years before they were famous have been brought up and deleted. This can be detrimental for celebs and their associates.

Post 4:
I don't think that Attack the Block should be raised to an 18, because of recent rise in crime, particularly knife crime, in London; because it is based off of fictional events, and depict the acts of fictional fighting against aliens. So the events cannot actually happen in real life. It was given a 15, because it used swear words 40 times, and has the use of easily accessible weapons, such as base ball bats and others, to depict affects of violence.
For this reason, I don't think It is worthy of an 18 BBFC rating.
