South Park Muslim Sensitivity
What I saw South Park Muslim Sensitivity episode I know they were taking the mic out of the at the Muslim culture and the reason of that is because you are not suppose to draw/animate the muslim prophet because no one know what he looks like but in this clip at the timing of 2 minutes and 35 second they have just drawn/animated off Mohammed. As they was giving out the facts about muslim.
I would say that it is the media fault because I think that they are running out
Big Brother why is it unethical
Arguing
Swearing
Racism- it could offend the people who are watching it/
they have specifically selected shots
Big Brother is unethical because they dont care if they are arguing they just want entertainment for the audience. Also as Jade Goody and Shilpa was arguing, There were other celebs in the house laughing and agreeing with Jade with all her racist comment. Many sponsor for big brother have been canceled because of the racist remarks, Channel 4 has received an additional 3,000 complaints racism and bullying by the big brother housemates. The reaction in India was insane as protester took to the street of India and burned effigies (Picture) of the show organiser. In my opinion i would say that.
Positive- Entertainment for the audience,
Negative- Arguing, Swearing, Racism- Could offend people who are watching it
_________________________________________________________________________________
Should or Should be Shown
In my opinion I would say that execution should be on Tv because it is what the people have voted to watch and because it is a real life thing so people should know what is happening around the world. For abortion it was half and half and the reason is because half of the people dont want to watch it because it is murder and the viewers dont want to watch it but people say you should watch it because it is reality, the viewers can see what people on TV are going through because it is real life and you know to be careful.
BBFC
The BBFC which stands for British Board of film classification and it was founded in 1912 how ever the video recording act was introduced in 1984. For 72 years video was release to the public without a age classification. Any video recording sold in the UK, had to have a classification by someone.
The Human Centipede 2
The BBFC has rejected this film because it was controversial and according to the BBFC they said that the concept was tasteless and disgusting and it is sexual violence but the producer said it was art, it is not real, it is make belief. The film maker opinion to the BBFC was shocking as he said "My dear people it is just a F**king movie" and "It is not real, it is all make belief."
I agree with the BBFC because if some kids watches this they will be scarred for life or they might copy the film and that will be bad for underage children, This movie should not been watch by the audience because it is disturbing for the viewers , The producer said the movie was art and I disagree with him because it seems to me that it is all messed up and the producer is messed up.
- Gore- It might scare them, Strong Language, blood,
- Adult Humour - Underage, Strong language ,
- Aggressive Violence
- Bullying
Adult Humour- Underage, Strong Language,
Ethics
Ethics is where they show what is good for individuals and society
Ethics covers these types of dilemmas
How to live a good life
Their rights to responsibilities
The language of what is right and wrong
What TV programs promote good moral ethics
- Corination Street
- Blackfish
- Ellen talk shows
- Teletubbies
- Frozen
- Balomory
- Bob the builder
- etc.
There are many more programs that promotes moral ethics. Mainly kids shows shows good moral ethics like Bob the builder and Teletubbies because they show friendship.
Films that promotes bad moral ethics
Family Guy
South Park-
Celebrity Juice
Should TV and films be more ethical?
TV and Films needs to be more ethical because some TV programs are giving out the wrong message to younger viewers with foul language and adult humor. South Park is an example, The reason why I have chosen South park is because they are sending the wrong message to viewers with Adult humour, Strong Language so then the viewers will copy them and they will start saying bad words. Here is an example, South park have been threaten by Muslims in the US for make a Muslim Prophet joke about Mohammed in their 200th episode and I agree with them because it is disrespecting the Muslims Culture and race by drawing one of the Muslim prophet in a episode and is taking the Mick out of it.
Can TV and Film be blamed for slipping ethics of society?
In my opinions TV and Films are important to the society we live in but there are some that can effect in it ways, but not all TV and Films can be blamed but some can, some are and have been reported to be offensive to the viewers. Here is an example, South park is an excellent example as the TV program have been reported and sued many times and continues to be sued and been reported. South park is a popular american TV show and have been watched millions of time because of it adult humour, but the humour can sometime be over the top and this could effect society and more worrying religion which has already sparked outrage which I think it is disrespectful towards the Muslims religion.

- Commissioning editor- The commissioning editor will decide whether your idea will go into productions.

Why do you need an agent and what are the name of the some scriptwriters
- Having an agent is important if you want to be a scriptwriter even if you get a producer interested on your own. Don't go near a contract without an agent because you can make a mistake that you can not redo your contract. So you need an agent so he can see if the contract is good for some script writing like money wise, what are the condition of giving your script etc.
How does a script get chosen
- If your script is good enough you can tell your agent to contact and make some phone call to the people who reads the script and to see if they like it and want to make a production about the script or if it is terrible and they want nothing to do with it. You could also email the people who decides if the script is good enough and share your idea with them but make sure your agent have a read of your email if it is good enough,
How does a script writer get paid
- According to writersdigest they are saying that for each program they get paid so I think that for every script, scriptwriters they do they get paid. If a script get sold they get $300.000, but the writers gains an extra $200.000 if their script leads to production.
- The script will get paid when the people who reads your script will like it and will make a production about it . That then when you will get the money but make syre you get your agent to look at the pay rate on the contract then try to negotiate it.
What legal issue do you have to worry about as a writer
- The legal issue you have to worry as a writer is copy write when shorts are option, option agreement, real life stories/biography etc.
- The reason why real life story and biography is an issue is because a script telling a true story may rely on on a number of difference sources such ad meterial in public or autobigoraphy which is copyright example biography will need to be cleared.
- The word Plagiarism means that you are taking some one elses idea or take some one else work and you take credit of it and making it one of yours.
- The word Libel mean that you are making/ publishing a false statement that damages people reputation
What example are there of legal action involving scriptwriter of tv and film
- According to the site npr.org it says and shows that a case between Reed Martins and Jim Jarmusch saying that film flowers is based on one of his own movie/ screenplay. It says that The dreams of screen play can be shattered if they can not get a actual film maker to read their own script. That shows that even famous people steal people film idea and take credit of it .
What do you think are some of the high points and low points of working as a writer for tv or film
- In conclusion I think that the high points is that you can not steal anyone idea, try to make one of your idea and give it some thoughts so you do not get sued and get in court. The low point I would say is the agents, You have to find the perfect agent for you that can make your script a success so you can have a lot of money to your success and you can make more script. The reason why the agent is a low point is because there are many agents to choose from but you need to fine the right agent so you can be successful.
