So far i've been reading from some books and on the internet, and I feel that I have a basic understanding of when and how the MPAA ratings system has been created. However, I am not sure why yet- and that's the most important part, so I'm a little stuck.
I've emailed Northwestern's Film/TV/Radio division of their communications department, asking if any professors would be willing to be interviewed. I'm going to wait until monday or tuesday, and if I don't hear back, I will call the MPAA office in Los Angeles.
I haven't written very much of my paper yet, so I'm in that transition point, and I think I'm going to write down a bit of the history component as I understand it, and hopefully I can add the why parts later as I come to a conclusion. I feel i've been doing a decent amount of work, but i'm concerned that I will have a really rough crunch time if I don't make some more progress.
Additionally, I'm not sure how to go about answering my why question yet (as in how to map the paper out) so that's adding to my general uncertainty. Do I start with what the rating system is currently, and then describe how we got there? Do I start with when the hays code was first instated, and then say how it progressed to our current system?
I'll keep posting as I start writing components, and i'll let you know how my interview search is coming. Thanks for reading!
