Disability
This is a clip of Artie from Glee, his disability is wheelchair use however they have portrayed this in a positive way due to his day to day life is as much normal as somebody who isn't in a wheelchair and he is treated no differently, for example talking to girls, playing basketball
Disability
This is Jean Slater who acts in Eastenders with a mental illness, Bipolar. Her disability is presented in a humerous way due to the things she does however for an individual to actually have Bipolar, it isn't a funny thing which therefore proves they are negatively portraying this disability.
Disability
Here is a video of Cerrie Burnell who was critisized for 'scaring children' with her amputated arm; this is therefore portrayed negatively as she was insisted on leaving children television presenting due to this.

Film Certificate
We decided to certify our film as PG because it is aimed at a wider target audience as it is not based on adult or child humour and does not contain taboo language so it is therefore appropriate for younger audiences as it is not upsetting in any way, is not offensive and does not discuss any sensitive topics.

Section B - E Books
How often would you go to the cinema if you had the latest TV to use at home when streaming, downloading and renting films?
I asked 10 people this question to see what the majority of the public would think on the advantages of having all these modern things on a HD, plasma and possibly a 3D TV.
Person 1
I wouldn’t go to the cinema as much as I would prefer to watch the film in the comfort of my own home
Person 2
I would still go to the cinema as the experience and the atmosphere of watching the film in the cinema first is always better
Person 3
I would prefer to stay at home as it is cheaper, I can order a take-away and I won’t be tempted to buy all of the goodies such as popcorn and fizzy drinks
Person 4
The sound is always better in the cinema and the screen is bigger and more clear which makes you feel part of the film and intrigues you more which is always a good thing
Person 5
I would prefer to watch the film at home instead of having to drive down to the cinema or get public transport; it just takes up a lot time
Person 6
When you watch the film at home, you can pause, rewind and fats forward when necessary without missing any of it e.g. if you need the toilet
Person 7
If the film is a new release, there will be lots of people in the cinema and you may have to sit next to many people and be squashed, sometimes they’re smelly as well
Person 8
If the family want to watch the film but one of the kids is not old enough, it is easier to watch it at home and it is less hassle
Person 9
It’s hard to find parking spaces round by the cinema and you may be late to get in, then you have to queue up and get your ticket, it’s just easier to stay at home and watch the film
Person 10
If I have just come home from work and I am tired, I can put my pyjamas on instead of having to get dressed up
Conclusion
Looking at the results from questioning the 10 people, I found that 3 of the people would still like to go to the cinema than watch it at home and the other 7 people would prefer to stay at home and watch it. These results were answered with various different answers and reasons.

Deadly Question 6
Real Question
The issues raised in the targeting of national and local audiences (British) by international or global institutions.
Translated Question
The problems or topics brought to everyone’s attention in the targeting of the national and local British audiences for many reasons by international or global organisations.
Some issues raised about the national and local British audiences are that now TV has become such a popular and advanced piece of technology within British audience, organisations are seeing problems such as less people are going to cinema, for example, to watch their films when they are spending loads of money to have it released at the cinema; they are losing out as the audiences would now rather wait for it to be released on DVD or on TV which is cheaper for the individual but is a setback for the film companies and international or global institutions.
