investigators :
mpaa rater : salary was 30 thousand , talk about their opinions the next day , they're was no training they just walked  in and started .

the mpaa  uses government sensering to keep the power in the industry
format raters : jay landes were told that they weren't allowed to discus or write anything about the mpaawithout their permission , they have to sign a contract.
the mpaa sensor things they're suppose to rate
by sensor they are taking away their ability to make a choice.
the mpaa ideology , they have a conservative ideology , they don't like things that makes them uncomfortable.
all raters looked like parents
Wayne Cramer: they gave it annc17 because of a glimpse of pubic hair , nut the fake boobs in scary movie didn't get it .
Kevin smith : his movie got an nc17 because of a scene that talks about masturbation , "every kid has scene sexual things were not teaching them anything. New "

Corby Dick " 70% are parents
Mpaa is bait homophobic , gay movies are nc17 but straight sexual  movie gets R rated
Joan graves hires raters has kids that are 29&32
He had the right to do what he wanted , raters voted an R then he ordered to get the movie to get cut
The mpaa only allows missionary not other adventurous position
Joan yatabe kids are 22 23 so the mpaa are lying that the parents have kids that from 15 or 17 and under
The mpaa is boyist and corrupted , jay landed "they were not openly gay parents on the board "
They let violence happen but the sex isn't allowed
David Anson " they seem more concerned about sex than violence " when the European movies are the other way around
You can shoot bodies without blood and get a pg13 but with blood you get nc17

The mpaa would go out of they're way to defend violence
Jack valenti "I don't want experts on the board I want ordinary people"
You can rate reality if you can't deal with it then don't send people to war

Companies runs the culture if they're rating
Jack valenti calls pirates terrorists
The mpaa are a cultural censorship group
Of judges , school officials operates in the public fear why shouldn't the mpaa
One of the raters had no children
The raters are kept in secret to protect them from influences but it turns out they actually are
When they appeal they always loose
The mpaa are very powerful because of they're friends in the government
During the appeal you can compare your films to other films
They are two priest involved
The appeal boards have most of the film distributors on it so he had no chance on theatres showing his movies

no major movies companies have problems its only independent movie makers

mppa

 The motion picture association of america's film-rating system is used in the us ,the MPAA rating system is a voluntary scheme not enforced by law and films can be exhibited without a rating, though many theaters refuse to exhibit non-rated or NC-17 rated films.


their members are six production companies which are  paramount pictures, 20th century fox, loweus, universal studios, warner bros, columbia pictures, united artist, and rko pictures.

some people think that  The MPAA's purpose is to tell us the nature of the film, if it's excessive in violence, language, or nudity, and give it a rating which is a general guideline of what age groups the film is appropriate for.


Rating symbol Meaning
G rating symbol
G – General Audiences
All ages admitted. This movie contains nothing that would offend parents for viewing by children.
Such films may contain only mild violence or crude humor, and may have no nudity, sex, drugs or coarse (as distinct from impolite) language. The discrimination/bullying and emotional intensity must be minimal. Alcohol and tobacco may be used in small amounts by adults in the movie, but not by minors, especially in older G-rated films. The violence or horror must be cartoonish in nature or minimal in quantity.
PG- rating symbol
PG – Parental Guidance Suggested
Some material may not be suitable for children. Parents are urged to give parental guidance as the motion picture contains some material that parents might not find suitable for their pre-teenagers.
Such films may contain some violence,infrequent coarse language,crude situations,suggestive material,some rude or unsophisticated behavior, discrimination/bullying, thematic elements,disturbing/startling images, mild horror, action and peril, emotional intensity, drug references, alcohol, tobacco, brief partial or somewhat complete nudity and/or implied or some sexual situations.
PG-13 rating symbol
PG-13 – Parents Strongly Cautioned
Parents are urged to be cautious as the motion picture contains some material that parents might consider inappropriate for children under 13.
Such films may contain moderate to strong violence, horror, action and peril, strong coarse language, some suggestive material and partial or somewhat complete nudity, strong rude or unsophisticated behavior, discrimination/bullying, alcohol, smoking, intense sexual situations, crude situations, thematic elements, emotional intensity, disturbing/startling images, and/or soft drug use or references.
R rating symbol
R – Restricted
People under 17 may only be admitted if accompanied by a parent or guardian. Such films may contain rough and/or persistent violence and suggestive material, hard language, strong horror, action and peril, strong crude sexual content, alcohol, tobacco, thematic elements, hard crude situations, emotional intensity, disturbing/startling images, hard rude or unsophisticated behavior, discrimination/bullying, sexually oriented nudity, and/or hard drug use.
NC-17 rating symbol
NC-17 – No One 17 & Under Admitted
This film is clearly adult and people under the age of eighteen are not admitted. Such films may contain brutality/pervasive extreme non-stop graphic violence, explicit sexual content, sexual assault, extreme horror, extreme emotional intensity, discrimination/bullying, crude situations, strong graphic non-stop language, disturbing/startling images, strong graphic drug use, alcohol, tobacco and/or aberrational behavior.

these are good because they let you know which movies are appopriate for your age or your kids age and it protects people from thing that might traumatise them or hurt them psychologically. 

runner runner starring be affleck and justin timberlake was r rated because of the language and the sexual content. i think this was a good rating because ever movie with grafic sexual content or foul language should be r rated to protect the younger movie audiences.

baggage claim was rated pg 13 because some of its sexual content and language it was also rated fairly because the sexual content and language werent too much to be r rated but they were abit too much to be rated g or just pg

 


unit 26 assignment 1 , sound analysis ( updated for the presenation )


Christopher uses sound to create tension and anticipation in the audience in such an exceptional way , in both the scenes from the dark knight and inception the diagetic dialogue and ambient sound is in high pitch as the narrative goes along  and the none diagetic soundtrack always start off in low pitch to create more tension then elevates as the scene gets more intense for example in inception , as Ariadne enters the elevator Nolan uses a sound bridge of the train to create anticipation in the audience of what they think the next scene will be ,as moll approaches Ariadne the non diagetic soundtrack is in a low pitch as we hear it in the back ground this makes us feel nervous and really tense but the diagetic dialogue is clear we can here moll as she says “ your waiting for a train a train that will take you far away ) then we hear the diagetic ambient sound of the wind blowing and its effect on us is that it gives us a sense of danger like something is about to hppen ,and the diagetic sound the broken glass makes as she steps on it softly in a higher pitch than the sound track makes us start to thik of what happened to the room , why is there broken glasses around and it scares us, followed by the panicked gasp of Ariadne ,making us see how afraid and nervous she is. as The none diagetic sound track goes from a slow paste than creates a lot of tension in the audience as it elevates into  higher pitch as the we hear a more scarier soundtrack when moll tries to chase after Ariadne that shocks the audience up and scares them , Chris Nolan uses this method to create tension and anticipation in the audience as we saw in inception , he also uses this exact method in the dark knight as the joker Is speaking to Rachel .
