My Film Classification

In class we discussed what age our film should be. BBFC are the people who decide the age rating on any film depending what is being shown in the film. We went on their website to check all of their age  guidelines for what can be shown for different ages. Here is a link to their website http://www.bbfc.co.uk
While looking at the age ratings, as a group we came to the decision that our film was suitable for the age of 15 and over as it can contain; strong violence, strong language, brief scenes of sexual violence etc... The topics that our horror film touches on would not be allowed to show younger ages so 15 is the youngest someone should be to view our film without it being inappropriate.

Horror Film Rough Cut

Here is a link to the rough cut of my horror film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-gnsacI_KE 
After showing the rough cut to my media class we were given feedback on their opinions on what we 
have done so far. They understood that we were not finished and that there were some missing things 
 but this is the feedback that we have been given;

  • WWW     (what went well):
" -They used the camera really well and also the sound matched with the scene."
" -Good use of synchronous  sound."
" -Good use of camera angles at the beginning."
" -Good use of camera shots."
" -The breathing and the filming from behind the tree was very affective."
" -The trees was very affective."
" -The sound used built good tension."
"- Good tension building music."
"-Varied camera angles."
"- Clear storyline."
"- Felt tension when the music came on."
"- When fernanda was taking a picture the camera angle used was a good choice."
"- I enjoyed the point of view shot." 
"- Good use of close ups."
"- Tension building music was successful."
"- Good use of handheld camera."
"- The different camera angles used were good."

  • EBI          (even better if):
"- The lighting was poor."
"- When Gabby was speaking it was too loud." 
"- The transition didn't fit the genre horror."

I have read all these feedback comments and my group and I will do our best to take them all into consideration and put them into our horror film in order to make it better.
