Leveson inquiry/Ethics
-The Leveson inquiry was a public, judge-led inquiry.
-It was set up by Prime minister David Cameron to investigate the press after journalists at the The news of the World were accused of illegally accessing the voicemail messages on other peoples phones, without their knowledge or consent.
-They were also accused of bribing police officers.
-Some of those who had their mobile phones 'hacked' into in this way were celebrities, sports people and politicians.
-The News of the World was closed down by its owner, news international, when this information became public.
-Lord justice Leveson on the evidence presented at the Leveson inquiry, stated his recommendations on how the press should be regulated.
They were:
1) Newspapers should continue to be self-regulated and government should have no power over what newspapers publish.
2) A news press standards organisation, with a new code of conduct should be created.
To the bone:
-One of the key problems is that there is inadequate understanding of the social and cultural aspects of eating disorders (both in wider society and the media) as well as in the treatment of eating disorders.
-Some of the objections raised about to the bone that it glamorizes anorexia, and it privileges the conventional stereotype of a young, white, fragile "waif".
-To the Bone apparently didn't have any truth in comparison to someone who suffered with anorexia for over 20 years "i certainly found little sense of my "truth" here"
-In one interview, noxon said that being around Collins and the other actors who were losing weight was difficult for her. "I started to turn to the other female producers can quite frequently and say: 'i'm going to need you to tell me that i dont need to lose weight,'" She said. When there is a part of you that still gets turned on by not eating, you will not be able to discuss anorexia properly, because you are still preoccupied by the surface symptoms. --> the ethical issue is that it affect the people that actually suffered anorexia.
-Not the correct warning about the film and the effecta.
These are good notes and contain plenty of detail. Would it be possible for you to include a link to the article you read in regards to 'To the Bone'.
ReplyDeleteWhy are ethical issues particularly important to consider during Pre-Production?
What was the task?
What did you learn?
How will this help you prepare for your exam?
