The most recent lecture was on Violence and how it's used in the media. To begin the lecture we first looked at a film clip, this was called Happiness, this particular clip took a different approach to showing violence on screen. Instead of tense music and dull colours and lighting, it was set in a park with a guy shooting everyone, the music was quite uplifting as well. Dipicting the opposite to how it usually happens. From seeing this we went onto the topic of violent games, and how it holds influence to certain audience members, as they get too caught up in whats happeneing. Getting reality mixed up with what isn't real. As in games the only way to kill its a clear head shot, as a shot to the body doesn't create much of an impact and if playing on god mode you're unable to be killed. Having this inclunce and people who get too wrapped up in the games, could easily lead to having them create the same situation in reality, which has happened in many cases already. Like the man that was obsessed with the game 'Doom' for example.
As a result what for is said above, there is always going to various happenings of people getting too carried away and involved, creating the bad situations. With the amount of violence that is on show i feel this isnt going to change.
