Race relations act 1976
The document summarizes several key laws that constrain the media in the UK:
The Race Relations Act of 1976 prohibits discrimination and stereotypical portrayals of race in TV productions unless necessary for the story. The Human Rights Act of 1998 codified protections from the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law, allowing individuals to pursue human rights cases in domestic courts. The Licensing Act of 2003 established a single licensing system for premises selling alcohol, providing entertainment, or late night refreshment.
Libel
Cameron Diaz sued The Sun newspaper in 2005 over an article claiming she was having an affair with a married man, which caused her distress. The Sun later accepted the article was untrue and contained no evidence of a romantic relationship. In 2007, the National Enquirer also settled a libel case with Diaz and paid her substantial damages over a similar false story alleging an affair. The publisher's lawyer argued these cases abuse the UK court system and stifle free expression for publications in both the US and UK.
Task 6 Copyright And Libel Debate
Copyright law affects the production of magazines by determining who owns the rights to publish certain content such as written works, photos, and graphics. Copyright lasts for 70 years after the author's death. Libel law also impacts magazines by opening them up to expensive lawsuits if they publish defamatory or untrue statements that damage a person's reputation. Magazines must take care to avoid invading celebrities' privacy or using offensive material, as these can affect content and lead to legal issues.
Elles questions
The interviewer asks Jack about his recent number 1 hit, his best career moment so far, whether he expected to win, upcoming touring plans, if he prefers touring or studio work, expectations for his next album, potential collaborations, rumors of a duet with Rihanna, being linked to collaborations with major artists, what fans can expect from his next album sound-wise, if he's thought of album or tour names, and what day he's scheduled to perform at Parklife. The interviewer concludes by wishing Jack luck with his album and tour.
Evaluation
The student created a fashion magazine for a final school project. They received feedback from evaluators praising the professional layout and eye-catching colors used. However, the evaluators noted that some yellow text was difficult to read. The student agrees with this feedback and thinks they could improve the editing of photos to make the magazine seem more professional. They chose blue as a consistent theme to give the magazine a fashion feel.
Photo shoot plan
This photography shoot will take place on February 18th, 2014 at 9am to take photos of a girl for an indie music magazine. Photos will be taken around campus and in a photography studio using props like a guitar and sunglasses. Indoor studio photos aim for a plain white background to make the subject stand out, while outdoor photos will use natural light. Equipment needed includes casual clothing and props, and techniques like depth of field will be experimented with.
Evaluation 2
The document discusses design choices made for the front cover of a music magazine. The name "sound wave" was chosen to relate to the target audience's music interests. Text was left over an image to make it stand out, and a subheading was added to seem more professional. Additional interior details were placed near the bottom so the main image remains the focus, as done successfully on other similar magazines. The front image is of an artist looking at the camera to grab attention. A pull quote about the image was placed opposite other interior information to appear more professional and identify the main image.
Evaluation 1
The document describes the layout choices made for a magazine double page spread interviewing an artist. These include using the artist's name in large text at the top, a brief description of the artist and interview below, questions in purple and answers in black, casual images of the artist placed prominently to relate to the interview content, and pull quotes to make the text more appealing and professional.

War of the_worlds_worksheet
The document discusses Steven Spielberg's 2005 film War of the Worlds and the impact of 9/11 on how American audiences responded to it.

While some argue it is inappropriate to use 9/11 as a thematic device, the document says it can be justified as 9/11 was a major historic event that will be discussed for generations, similar to wars. Producers using 9/11 too soon after the attacks may have caused more controversy, but releasing films years later would be more accepted.
