The Industry

-
There firms that control industry:
  • British board of film classification- BBFC, their opinion is not legally binding. People mainly trust the label that is put on the film, as not everybody knows the criteria. They have the ability to ban films if they are unethical, for example straw dogs. The British Board of Film Censors was set up in 1912 by the film industry as an independent body to bring a degree of uniformity to the classification of film nationally. Statutory powers on film remain with the local councils, which may overrule any of the BBFC’s decisions, passing films we reject, banning films we have passed, and even waiving cuts, instituting new ones, or altering categories for films exhibited under their own licensing jurisdiction.


    • independent press standards organisation-IPSO, IPSO helps to uphold professional standards in journalism. We monitor our members' compliance with the Editors' Code, provide guidance and training, and can carry out standards investigations where we believe there have been serious and systemic breaches of the Code.

    • Ofcom-office of communications, Ofcom is the communications regulator in the UK. We regulate the TV, radio and video-on-demand sectors, fixed-line telecoms (phones), mobiles and postal services, plus the airwaves over which wireless devices operate. We make sure that people in the UK get the best from their communications services and are protected from scams and sharp practices, while ensuring that competition can thrive.

    What is a colony? a country or area under the full or partial political control of another country and occupied by settlers from that country. Gilroy believes that colonial discourses continue inform contemporary attitudes to race and ethnicity in  the post colonial era. Civilization-ism  constructs racial hierarchies and sets up binary oppositions based on notions of otherness. An example is the British empire, in 1913 the British empire held way over 412 million people,23% of the worlds population. Britain post-imperial postcolonial melancholia demonstrates its failure to let go of a long gone imperial past reproduces in the present imperial impulse. A target of impulse may be an immigrant.

    LouBoutin advert- ADBUSTERS

    -
    Image
    this advert suggests: Black person, suggests that the person could be from Africa as the background is Barron, also an image of a Black African has the connotation of a poor and unfortunate, this is the opposite to the normal LouBoutin customers.      The Anti-capitalist view is shown through the inequality between the rich white shoes that LouBoutin normally sells shoes to, and the poor African who is wearing plastic bottles on their feet for protection. "Red soles are always in season" suggests that a persons feet in a poorer nation are always bleeding or blistered due to the lack of footwear, the red soles are associated with the LouBoutin range, it is almost a trade mark.  The use of the actual name of the product gives the advert a realistic and well known feel. Normal LouBoutin shoes cost around £400, the contrast is shown with the worthless plastic shoes. The audience is made to feel guilt and embarrassed.
