Movie Rating System
(https://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/question467.htm)
The movie rating system used in the United States was created in 1968. The Motion Picture Association of America is largely responsible for this voluntary rating system. The Rating System is outlined below:
The rating process is largely subjective and is ever evolving. A Policy Review Committee comprising MPAA and NATO officials monitors the Review Board and provides guidelines to follow when rating movies. At this time, the Rating Board rates movies as follows:
G -- "General Audience - All Ages Admitted": Applied when a film is deemed appropriate for young children. According to the MPAA, a G rating does not indicate the film is a children's movie.
PG -- "Parental Guidance Suggested. Some Material May Not Be Suitable For Children": The Rating Board applies this rating when the members believe the film contains themes or content that parents may find inappropriate for younger children.
PG-13 -- "Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some Material May Be Inappropriate For Children Under 13." The MPAA added this rating in 1984 to denote films in which content is intense enough that many parents would not want to expose their younger children to the film, but not so intense as to warrant an R rating.
R --"Restricted. Under 17 Requires Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian": The Rating Board applies this rating to movies the members believe contain a high level of adult content, In some states, the minimum age to see an R rated movie unaccompanied is 18.
NC-17: "No One 17 And Under Admitted": This rating is applied to films the board believes most parents will consider inappropriate for children. It indicates only that adult content is more intense than in an R movie. As with films rated R, the minimum age to see a NC-17 movie is 18 in some states.
This rating process is entirely optional; no filmmaker is required to submit her film for a CARA rating. Most filmmakers do because most movie theaters in the United States use the ratings system, and it's harder to get them to show a movie if it's not rated. Filmmakers who do not submit their movies to the Rating Board are free to release their movie unrated or to apply any other rating system. They cannot use any of the above ratings, however, as they are trademarked.
This rating system is used when movies come out in theaters and when they are released on video. It is intended only for use in the United States.
Movie Posters - Official Movie Poster vs. Teaser Poster
Official Movie Posters are different from Teaser Posters. Here's how....
Teaser Posters
Don't give away much about the movie.
Do include a Release Year, maybe a specific month, but not always.
Includes Artwork or Design Color Scheme.
Builds hype and anticipation for the movie. (usually using a hook or question)
Official Movie Posters
Have a clear movie title.
Lists actor's/character's names names.
Shows exact release date of the movie.
Let's take a look at an example......
(https://www.slideshare.net/summerbond/teaser-poster-vs-film-poster)
On the left is the official poster for the movie Avengers: Age Of Ultron. This is very different to the teaser poster because it shows a lot more about the movie, the characters and the release date. This is a standard movie poster because it contains clear standard movie poster features; the stars, the release date and the title of the movie. The main color that is presented is red, this could connote danger throughout the film or could represent power. The first idea you get from looking at the poster is an action film. This is the key genre of the movie. You can pick out action/adventure movie conventions by looking at the surroundings of the poster or by the way the superheroes are standing. This is a good official movie poster because it communicates well with the audience. You would be able to tell that this is the official movie poster and not the teaser poster because of the key conventions and how much it gives away about the movie.
On the right is the teaser poster for the movie Avengers: Age Of Ultron. This is very different to the official movie poster because it doesn’t show anything about the film, except that it comes out in 2015. The main colors that are used are red and silver. These two colors don’t really give you any impression of what the movie is about, but you could say that the red could represent danger. This teaser poster leaves you hanging because you want to find out more about the movie; it only shows the year of the release. Straight away you can pick out action/adventure movie conventions because of the way the ‘A’ is presented. This gives you more of an understanding of the genre the film belongs to. This is a clear teaser movie poster because of how little information is given away. This is a good example of a teaser poster because it doesn’t show anything about the movie such as the stars, exact release date or the name of the movie.
Both the official movie poster and teaser poster are different but have similarities also. Straight away for looking at both of these poster next to each other, you can tell that the one on the left is the official poster and the one on the right is the teaser poster. I know this because the official movie poster shows lots of information about the movie, has the title of the movie in bold and shows the stars of the movie in the middle of the poster. I know that the poster on the right is the teaser because of how little information is shown. The teaser poster is very different compared to the official movie poster because the colours are more dull and less information is presented. One way in which both posters are similar is the fact that you can straight away guess that they are action/adventure movies. You can tell because of the conventions used. In the poster on the left, the surroundings and the superheroes give away the action genre and in the poster on the right, the way the ‘A’ is represented shows conventions of actions/adventure movies. Overall, both of these movie posters are different in their own ways but show a good understanding of action/adventure movie poster. I think that both of these posters are good to compare because of the many differences and few similarities they share.
