Budgets and Planning. To begin with, the program, like the organization, fosters an open and collaborative environment for the process to take place. In this regard, it is, therefore, impossible for any one space or environment to be able to accommodate every conceivable project or application that is “thought up”. Therefore, certain perimeters and guidelines need to be established to assess costs with the program and help determine a course of action in future planning. As we are discussing costs, we assume there is a

A) The weekly budget is formed by only using the early start times of each activity.

Currently in Canada there are no government regulations placed upon video and film making. The certification of Canadian films and videos is passed off to the Canadian National Film Board, which has been “charged with the duty of certifying on behalf of Her Majesty moving picture films, separate sound film track, filmstrips and slides, videotape and sound recordings — produced in Canada or produced abroad by persons normally resident in Canada as being of an international educational, scientific or cultural character”(Canadian Film Certification Regulations). Therefore, the only job of the Canadian National Film Board is to certify it a film classifies as Canadian, yet does not regulate its content or distribution. This follows the same pattern as many countries such as the United States, and the United Kingdom. If Canadian film and video was regulated by the government, certainly some regulations may affect its growth compared to other countries without regulations. While others would help guide the industry towards a new path of growth and success. Canadian films and videos have, historically, had a difficult time breaking into the industry. With our close neighbour the United States over taking all of the spotlight with their major motion pictures. “Given the longstanding difficulty Canadian-made feature films have had in penetrating Canadian movie theatres, television has been their most reliable means of distribution”(Gasher, Skinner, Lorimer, 2012,229). Certain Canadian government regulations on film and video could help change this unbalanced representation of film and video in Canada. Government regulations placed upon guaranteeing a certain amount of Canadian feature films playing in cinemas would greatly benefit our film and video industry. Currently “Hollywood is the dominant player in the

Many people pay traffic fines in California, but not everyone is impacted in the same way. According to a new report from the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area [1], traffic fines in California have an outsize effect on low-income drivers and people of color.

Through this tax credit, Hollywood has been brought to Cleveland. In a 2016 article, “John Kasich's decision to raise the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit

The Australian film industry is currently in a point of crisis due to the lack of audiences attending Australian films, hence creating a decline in the revenue received towards our national industry. However, this is not due to the lack of creative talent, it is rather the many underlying issues that don?t allow the Australian public with the awareness and accessibility of these films. These problems are within the distribution, marketing and funding of these Australian films, allowing the national Australian community to not seek for films made by people within their nation due to negative pre-conceived notions and the convenience of going to see a Hollywood Blockbuster. These issues are seen through the poor release of both critically received films, Jennifer Kent?s The Babadook (2014) and Hugh Sullivan?s The Infinite Man (2014), both not gaining a wide audience. Through these issues within the industry, Australian filmmakers have not been able to create the revenue needed for these films to branch out to be easily attained by the public.

The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) was founded in 1939 in Ottawa, Canada by pioneer Scottish documentary maker, John Grierson. The headquarters for the company are located in Montreal, Qc. The NFB, is Canada’s public film, digital media producer and distributor for the country. The company has produced and distributed over 13,000 productions which were documentary’s, web docts, alternative drama and the greatest artistic creation of all, animation. The NFB is an English and French public space where they show both language productions. The company is located in St-Laurent but moving Downtown Montreal in the near future. However, due to the language difference around the country, many offices are established in different provinces.

The production code Filmmakers especially excelled in the 1930’s because they became obsessed with the idea that they could start breaking the rules and restrictions that society placed on them. They started to explore controversial themes such as obscenity and the criminality of the human psyche (the human soul, mind or spirit), both conscious, unconscious and in totality. However with this new material, and the production of films like “freaks”, came critics. Groups of traditionalists like the Catholic church were thrown into a sense of moral panic. They insisted that the studios should have a set of regulations to stick by to avoid any obscenity or controversy being shown to the audience.

California business law offers considerable freedom for workers to work where and for whom they wish, effectively voiding nearly all noncompetetition agreements in the state. While this may seem like an onerous burden on businesses, the corporate law attorneys at DPA Law Group explain that this eliminates legal ambiguity while offering enough protection for businesses concerned with their trade secrets.

Another perspective one can view in this movie is the functionalist perspective, they view society as a living organism where society is structured to be able to stay stable and each part has its own role to play. In a text, it states, “Due to California’s budget crisis, cuts were made to public education. Hope school lost two teachers, including Ms. Judy”. This would fit in a functionalist perspective because California is a big state with many people living in it, yet with so many people it seems as if no one did anything to prevent these budget cuts probably thinking that’s just the way it is. This school is already short staffed as it is and Orange County is a place that is full of people, meaning many kids who will need an education. A

After watching the movie A Civil Action, I was blown away by the statistics shown in this movie. Not to mention, the fact that four lawyers gave up their homes, retirement plans, saving accounts, and everything in their office screamed to me how dedicated they are to succeed at this case. It truly shows that they care about the families who were affected deeply by the loss of their children. Specifically, the main lawyer Jan was the only one who truly cared for their families loss. For example, each family gets $375,000 after the trials(1). I thought it was interesting that even after all the lawyers did for the families, money still wasn’t going make things better or even replace the loss that the lawyers are feeling. In addition, I found

The film industry has always been somewhat of a dichotomy. Grounded firmly in both the worlds of art and business the balance of artistic expression and commercialization has been an issue throughout the history of filmmaking. The distinction of these two differing goals and the fact that neither has truly won out over the other in the span of the industry's existence, demonstrates a lot of information about the nature of capitalism.
