Movies are a big part of our lives. You go to the theater,
turn on your TV, or even talk to your friend you can almost
guarantee that you will hear about the newest movie. There
is always something new to watch. There are new movies
coming out so often that many of them don~t make it into the
theaters and if they do then they only play for a few weeks,
and at certain times.
Movie Certification
Movies are given a certification on the basis of their
content. This certification decides the kind of audience
that can watch this movie. For example, a movie having a
G or a PG certification is suitable for the entire
family, young and old alike. However, there are other
age-based certifications such as PG13, MA17 and R, which
are not suitable for little children to watch.
G and PG Ratings
These are generic certifications which are given to those
movies whose content is suitable or all universally,
providing wholesome entertainment. For example, cartoon
and animated movies.
PG13 Rating
Next, is the PG13 certification, which is suitable for
all those who are above 13 years of age or rather all the
teenagers and above. This certification is generally
given to sweet romantic movies, comedies and even some
horror movies.
MA17
These are the movies that can be viewed by ages 17 and
beyond. They include similar movies to the PG13 category.
May include horror movies that are more scary than the
ones included in the PG13 category.
R Certification
No one under 18 are allowed to watch these movies. These are
the movies that are really not meant to be to be seen by
little children or even teens. These are the movies that may
contain scenes that are inappropriate for younger audiences.
For making a selection about which movie to watch or not,
besides knowing the rating of the movie, one must also
know who the producer, director, script writer and the
actors in the movie are. All these parameters will give a
strong indication of the kind of movie that will be.
Writing the Script
There is most definitely more than one person involved in
writing a movie script. It takes months, even years to write
a movie script. The writers have to take time and form
characters for each of the actors who are going to play the
characters.
Casting
After the characters of a movie story have been finalized
and the script been written as well, the producers have
to look for actors and actresses who will be able to
portray those characters well.
Final Thoughts
After the script is written and directed, it is finally
ready to be screened in theatres. But, all movies don~t
get released in theaters. If a movies gets the chance to
be released in theaters then a 'party' for the cast is
arranged. Those movies that are not released in theaters
are finally released on television.
