Hypodermic theory - injects an idea in your head e.g. Doing
drugs is good, or a certain way of committing suicide is the best way of doing
it.
Moral panics – Something that gets over hyped like if
someone kills someone and a film gets blamed for it like the Childs Play incident.
Inoculation theory – 40’s films weren’t that extreme because
they were new but now we’re used to them, they are more extreme and we become
desensitised.
Positive effect – Feel good films, Role model films and Anti
racism films that make you feel good after seeing them give people a positive
feeling after seeing them.
Catharsis – Basically, the more violent films you watch, the
less violent you become. E.g. Play COD and feel more relaxed after playing it. The
same applies for watching violent films like Saw. (Self-healing)
