Job Advert Response
To whom is may concern,
I am writing to you because the job role description that you have put on line is absolutely riddled with problems. One of the problems is that the contracted hours is 10 to 45 hours. This is too much of a range of hours as it does not describe what type of job it is in particular if it is part time or full time job. this goes against the contract laws which state that the employee needs to be aware of what and when they are required to work.
the equality act is a legislation that says that you cant discriminate against anyone no matter there age, gender, disability, sexuality, religion or ethnicity. YOU are discriminating against non Christians and over 30s. In your advert you haven't mentioned any insurance which I will gain from becoming an employee it think this is important to add to the advert as I need to know that I am protected under the employers liability (compulsory insurance) Act 1969. Trade unions protect employees with employee issues If I didn't have the insurance I would involve my trade union to help me.
These are ethical issues in this advertisement. The issue ts that you have stereotyped and assumed that all offenders are male and all victims are female, however this is not the case. As we know from the recent Metoo campaign many male victims are now stepping forward.

If you were to use high school children for the date rape documentary you would be breaking the law since they are under age for this content. In the OFCOM broadcasting code it quotes "as restrictions on programmes broadcast before the watershed that include offensive language, violence, sexual material, and dangerous or harmful behaviour that children might try to copy." this also links to the obscene publications act of 1959. The film would likely to be given the certificate of an 18 because of its content. In your advert you have advertised that the employee would gain £20 of the profit from the film however, you need to also give them some of the copy right earnings.
Yours sincerely, Abbie-Rose Reddington

Technology
consumer products
The price of media technology has decreased and become more affordable for example, the laptop that I'm typing on has editing software on.
Satellite and cable
Television used to only broadcast using transmitters on the ground. Now moving images can accessed in different ways from our house.
Analogue and digital
In the past TV was shown through analogue via the transmitters but now it all digital.
Internet and Interactive
In the past Internet didn't exist but now we can use the Internet to watch film and TV content, legally and illegally. Interactive is through the red button which is linked to the show we are watching.
high definition and 3D
Through the last 10 years the definition and quality of the picture has improved and become high definition as well as 3D being introduced which makes views believe that they are there and brings them in to the action.
pay per view, on demand view, streaming content and digital recorders
People used to sit round the same TV as a family. Now people stream watching on their phones and separate from everyone else.

ownership and funding
Public service broadcasting
This is broadcasting not funded through advertising. When the BBC were set up the government looked at American broadcasting which was funded by advertising and called it public exploitation rather than public service. They decided to set up the licence fee system so that the BBC did not have to sell its audience to advertisers by creating populist entertainment rather than educational programming.
Commercial broadcasting
This is funded by advertising. An example is ITV.
corporate and private ownership
A corporation is a limited company where the directors not liable for losses. The BBC is an example of this. Private ownership is where a company exists for the profit of its share holders. An example is Sony.
global companies
Increasingly media companies operate across the globe in many different counties to maximise their profits. A media conglomerate will be a whole lot of different companies under common ownership. For example, News corporation is a global company that owns 20th century fox, Sky TV Collins publishes the times the sun star Tv in Asia thee fox network in the US - the list is virtually endless. The world of the media is dominated by very few companies such news corporation and Sony.
vertical Integration
This is owning companies in all the different sectors of an industry for example in the film industry money is made by the film producers, the film distributors, and the exhibitors (cinemas) therefore it makes sense for a conglomerate to own companies in each sector. For example, Warner studios also owned Warner cinemas
horizontal integration
This is where a company try to gain control of a sector. For example, a newspaper own tries to buy a rival newspaper.
funding types
License fee
This is a middle ground between commercial funding and government propaganda accusations.
Subscription
An example of this is Sky which gets us to pay a regular payment even though they are selling us to advertisers.
one off payments
An example of this would be a physical DVD or a film on itunes.
pay per view
Sky offer special sporting events in which you pay to watch once.
sponsorship
a brand which sponsors a particular TV show. For example, Maoam sponsors The Big Bang Theory.
Advertising
When a channel relies on adverts. An example of this is the channel Really they use adverts such as pregnancy tests, food, car and their TV show adverts.
product placement
on a film you may see a product with a label on it, the company are advertising that product in their film linking it to their target audience. For example, James Bond use a lot of product placement. For example, Heinekin and Aston Martin.
Private Capital
This is when a producer for a film funds themselves through friends and family. An example, of this is Megan Ellison who funded her own film.
Crowd Funding
An example for this is Josh Trett who used crowd funding to fund The black Shuck.
Develop funds
BFI funds producers in creating a film through the lottery.
