A regulatory body is governing body but it is not a membership organisation its primary objective is to protect the public from unlawful practises. Examples of Regulatory bodies in the film sector would be OFCOM and the BBFC.

Regulating bodies that look after my media sector (film) would be OFCOM and the BBFC, the effectiveness of BBFC would be questionable as recently in 2008 the rated 12A Batman film cause controversy when parents felt like the film should of being rated higher due to graphic scenes and extreme dialogue, however the BBFC have been doing a good job in most recent years with very few complaints about its ratings.

The biggest constraint my media sector faces would be censorship as this determines how big of an audience the film will get for example no one under eighteen is allowed to see an eighteen movie so the film will lose a large under eighteen viewership from seeing the film resulting in a loss of profit. That is why as a strategic decision film studios lower the age of the movie.


In the film ghost in the shell the casting choice of Scarlett Johansson has been accused of whitewashing the film as it is originally is a Japanese Japanese franchise. Fans have even gone so far to accuse the movie of using cgi to make Johansson look more asian. The movie studio paramount pictures would of used special effects to make Johansson's ethnicity more asian to pull in a higher revenue and appeal more to the hollywood market. The outcome of the fact is that people of the asian market are going to boycott the movie when it comes out to show their anger about whitewashing a popular Japanese franchise. 



Here is the career list in the film industry:

• Director
• Producer
• St Designer
• Director of Photography
• Costume Designer
• Prop Maker
• Makeup Artist
• Movie Editor
• Composer

Most of the careers featured in this list interconnect with each other for example the make-up artist will confer with the Costume designer to achieve the perfect design then show the producer and the director to see if it is up to standards.

Most directors of photography work their way up from more junior roles, mostly those which involve camera work or design.  A Costume Designer Career Path would be to go a Fashion school rather than film school as it is the way forward for any costume designer, although someone with sufficient skill and talent can work their way up from low-level theatre study positions.
