Camera issues

There were many problems facing us as we were filming.Some scenes were lost as we were sharing the camera with other groups.We had to re-film those and this wasted valuable time.

Planning - Target Audience

Even though our opening thriller consists of the typical teenage girl bully becoming victim to a repeatedly provoked girl who has been lead to killing, becoming a killer, it doesn't necessarily mean that the film is aimed at only the teenage age group. Even though it has to be aimed at 15 years above due to the movie classification, we thought that the idea of producing a thriller would not only attract those teens attracted to psychological horror thrillers but also the adults who enjoy them and even the investigation and chase rather than the killing. By attracting a wide age range, thus widening our audience, we succeed in catering to a major percentage of the general target audience. The debate about thriller's being more of a man's 'thing' can been argued that it depends on the tastes of the individual, therefore the gender stigma attached to a woman's 'supposed' taste is no more than a stereotype. Our opening thriller will not cater to a certain type of gender and by supporting this we introduced Nicholas to constrast the female roles of killer and victim.

 FILM TITLES AND CREDITS
 

Title of Film: Revenge

Credits: In our thriller opening we will begin with the opening, and when the last shot is filmed, the names of the 3 Characters, the camera man and director will be credited before the movie title comes up saying in big white letters with a black background, REVENGE.

Filming difficulties:

At first we decided to go with Nick coming out of the toilet to bump into Amal
but on the day of filming Nick could not be found so we replaced him with Tadfaswa
who did Nick's scene, we believed that it came out better without Nick as Tadfaswa had
better acting skills.

Filming was made even more difficult by people walking by while the camera was rolling
as we decided to film the beginning scene in the hall way.This made filming difficult as we had to do certain scene many times.#

Amal changed her clothing so some scene were re-filmed,we kept certain scene like the one with point of view, one of her looking at herself in the mirror and the crab shot as her clothing was not visible

BBFC AND REGULATUIONS

What does the 15 symbol mean?

No-one under 15 is allowed to see a 15 film at the cinema or buy/rent a ‘15’ rated DVD. 15 rated works are not suitable for children under 15 years of age.

Are there any limits on what sort of theme a work can have at 15?

No theme is prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate for 15 year olds.

Is 15 really stronger than 12A?

Yes. 15 works are stronger than 12 or 12A rated works and could include any of the following:

• strong violence
• frequent strong language (eg 'f***').
• portrayals of sexual activity
• strong verbal references to sex
• sexual nudity
• brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
• discriminatory language or behaviour
• drug taking

How much strong language is there in a 15?

There could potentially be a great deal. At 15 there is no upper limit on the number of uses of strong language (eg f***).
Occasionally there may be uses of the strongest terms (eg 'c***'), although continued or aggressive use will not normally be passed 15.

What about discriminatory or offensive terms?

There may be racist, homophobic or other discriminatory language, and the work could explore themes relating to this.
However, at 15 the work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour.

How much sex and nudity is allowed at 15?

At 15 sexual activity can be portrayed, as long as there is no strong or graphic detail. Some sex scenes can be quite long at this category and may involve some nudity and movement. Though nudity may be allowed in a sexual context there should be no strong detail.
There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context.
There can be strong references to sex and sexual behaviour, but especially strong or crude references are unlikely to be acceptable unless justified by context.
Heterosexual and homosexual sex and sex references are treated the same.

Can there be strong violence?

Yes, at 15 violence may be strong. It should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury, however, and the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable.
Strong sadistic or sexualised violence is also unlikely to be acceptable.
Easily accessible weapons may not be glamorised.

What about sexual violence?

There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence (for example descriptions of rape or sexual assault in a courtroom scene or in victim testimony) but any portrayal of sexual violence must be discreet and have a strong contextual justification.

What about horror works?

Many horror films are rated 15. At 15 there can be strong threat and menace (as long as it is not sadistic or sexualised), although the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable.

Can you see drugs in a 15 rated film or video?

At 15 drug taking may be shown but the work as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse.
The misuse of easily accessible and highly dangerous substances like aerosols or solvents is unlikely to be acceptable at 15.

What about dangerous behaviour or things teens might copy?

We consider the risk of potential harm to impressionable teenagers. For example, dangerous behaviour such as hanging, suicide and self-harming should not dwell on detail which could be copied.

 

PLANNING-NEXT WEEK

Planning for next week how we will start filming next week:
we will start with first scene as Amal is walking towards the toilet
it will start with a crab shot and then another shot of her walking to the sink.
