Week 35: Investigation Exercise Complete & Introduction to Task 2: Homework Assignment and Introduction into Social Action and Community Media Production Worksheet
Task 2: Homework Assignment: Today I have been introduced to the second task on the homework assignment, within this task I am researching into the Legal, Ethical and Regulators within the media industry, I have started to research into the different Regulators within the media industry. This is within Film, Television, Newspapers & Magazines and Computer Games, through this research I am gaining knowledge into what the regulators do for the industry and for what sectors within the industry, I have researched into the British Board of Film Classification for the film industry. I will also be researching and creating a report on the legal side, with the different law acts which affect the media industry in terms of documentary making and I will also be explaining 2 case studies which have broken the guidelines within these acts such as The News of the World Phone Hacking story, how this happened and what punishment was given to the company.
Today I have also been introduced to the second worksheet based on my documentary making, this worksheet asks me to focus on the social action and community within the media, I have now completed my first task of the investigation into documentaries and news programmes conventions. I am now starting the second task and I have started to gain research for this task as this focuses on the social and community impact, the tasks include analysing existing TV Programmes which highlight these issues and explaining their impact on the community. I have found 3 programmes which I believe show these issues, these are C4 The Secret Millionaire, ITV's Home is where the Heart Is and BBC 1's Famous, Rich and in the Slums, as all of these highlight an important issue surrounding both the UK and other countries. Through this worksheet I will also be writing a proposal for a documentary based on either the effect of the EMA cut or the work which St Wilfrid's Hospice does.

I will therefore be continuing my research into these different areas and start to write up the report for both the homework assignment and Community and Social Action in Media.
