It is, therefore, necessary for Mr. LabaranMaku to put it in
motion to correct these notions and bring some forms of sanity into the
industry. As Husein (2002) lamented “we need time to achieve this
(sanity) because a lot of damage has been done already. Here is an
industry where a fellow is probably because he cried in a movie and drew
the sympathy of viewing public or she appears nude in a movie.
One
would ask “does negative influence of home videos bring about moral
behavior change?†Opubor et al (1995) answered this by saying that “of
all the media of communication the motion picture has perhaps the most
universal appeal and impact; a film can rise above the limitation of
language, and culture barriers by power of visual images, its use of
music and sound effects and can succeed in conveying much the same
message to audience of heterogeneous backgrounds.
According to
Lippman (1922) he states that, “People act on the basis of pictures in
their heads rather than in accordance with reality of the world
outsideâ€. It is envisaged that at the end of the study, the outcome will
help in formulating and packaging home videos for youths, draw parental
attention to the influence of home videos on the moral behaviours of
youth and above all, the study will increase existing literatures on the
influence of home videos on youths.
