Research on the British board of film classification

The british board of film classification from Daisie Mae

I have done research into the British board of film classification and by doing this we have also been able to make a knowledgeable decision on what rating our one film should be and why.

Mood Board

Mood board from Daisie Mae

Although we don't know our plot for our thriller film for sure yet I have put together and created a mood board of some draft ideas that our group has discused from previous thriller films and internet pictures. The colour scheme is black and red which gives strong connotations of darkness, evil, danger and fear, which I believe will keep the viewers on edge as this is what I think a thriller should do...

Questionaire

Create your own user feedback survey  I have made a questionnaire,this will allow us to get an idea of what our target audience will want to see in our film and what we should do.

Prelim Bloopers

Here are our Prelim Bloopers. These videos feature our mistakes made when filming such as stiff movements, over complicating movements, giggling, getting other people in the background that weren't supposed to be and just general mishaps. We had to completely re-film due to these errors and have learnt from these mistakes and worked to prevent them from going into our finished Prelim. As one of our actors in our Prelim was at the orthodontist when we had one of the only opportunities to re-film (me) so the rest of my team had to get our friend Savannah, a fellow media student to act out my parts instead. This time we had film great content and so this went on to become our finished Prelim.

Our Logo for our production company

We have designed a logo for our productions company called "hippo productions" We then asked a friend to draw this for us on the computer.

Finished Prelim

Prelim - Storyboard

This is the Storyboard for our original plan for our Prelim. We felt it would be easiest to create and read if it were drawn onto paper. We did follow the basis of this when filming our Prelim, however we also made a few changes such as adding in more dialogue and action as we felt that without these adaptations it was not going to be long enough. We did leave out the shot of the shoes as we found it difficult to get down and keep the camera still, however we added in more content to replace this. We planned to use a variety of different shots when filming and were able to incorporate this into our Prelim to make it more interesting. Overall as a group we felt as though our plan was not too complex and therefore simple however also effective and were able to follow with it with ease.
