    Explain how the Hollywood studio system works, using the audio track on my blog to help you. You need to discuss who the big conglomerates are that own the studios that are members. When you have the Matt Stone quote you need to write something before we read the quote, a mini introduction to the quote, something that says that the MPAA have been accused of not serving the Hollywood industry if you are not working as part of a studio.
    It doesn’t really read as a magazine article. Think of writing it in chunks, one box should be explaining who they are, perhaps with a subheading ‘who are the mpaa?”, the matt stone comment should be in a chunk titled “are they working in the best interests of the filmmaker?” and in this section you need to get more information from the documentary about directors who feel that the MPAA have not supported them. You need to end that chunk with your opinion of if the MPAA are working to support the filmmakers.
    Then maybe can you add a chunk that is titled ‘ what can studios do if they want to appeal?” then in this section but everything you learnt from the documentary about the appeals process and what you think about this.
    Your section on the films and why they got the ratings they did is good, but you need to add into these bits, why these ratings were good for producers ( to market their films, to target the correct audience) and for audiences (to protect children etc.) In your conclusion, do you think the industry is right to work closely with the MPAA? You need a lot of work on this draft, make use of support sessions this week.
