BBFC

In our session today with Faye we were learning about BBFC, BBFC stands for British Board of Film Classification. And their slogan is, 'Age rantings you trust.'

The age ratings are as shown on the picture at the side of this text, all of these are made so that each film is suitable for each age target, this stops young people having nightmares/watching movies that are not suitable for them.

U - U stands for Universal and is from the age of 4 onwards. Movies that are targeted as U have no sexual content, no violence and no inappropriate language.

 PG - PG stand for Parental Guidance. This means that the parents can decide if they want their child to be watching films like this, if so they have to be accompanied by some sort of adult.

12A - 12A  is when you are allowed to go and watch a certain film by yourself if you are over the age of 12, if you are younger than you must be accompanied by some sort of adult.

12 - 12 is when you have to be over the age of 12 to watch the film, even if you are not or are accompanied by an adult. In these films there is discrete sexual content, strong language, comedy (sex references) and mild violence.

15 - 15 is when you have to be 15 or over to watch a certain film, they contain strong violence, sexual content, drug taking, swearing and strong verbal references to sex.

18 - 18 is when you have to be 18 or over to watch a certain film,  they contain quite a lot of strong violence, sexual content, frequent strong language, scenes of sexual violence and strong horror.

As a group, me and my film decided that we were going to make our film a 12A. This is because it contains some depressing sences and we feel that it would be best to make it up to the parents if they think it is suitable for their own children to watch.

Storyboards

In today's lesson we Faye we did some stuff for our filming, I am in a group with Leah, Taylor and Abbi. We had to make a storyboard on what our short film is going to be based on, and also what sort of shots and effects we were going to use, this way it will help us along the way when we come to start filming clips for our short film.

Short film proposal

My main idea for my short film is going to be based around bullying during school and also college, I want people to realize what the consequences are when bullying is happening and how it makes people feel when people are, name calling, hurting somebody physically, ganging up on one person, and other stuff on social networking sites that make other people feel very low about themselves. My short film is going to based about two different people one boy at secondary school and then a women at college and in the end they are going to eventually meet and help each other along. I'm going to have people bullying them over social networking and during breaks in school and college and I am going to show how people feel when this happens in real life.

I will be using loads of different camera shots, this way it will make the short film look a lot more realistic, I am hoping that this film will make people aware and increase the amount of bullying that happens around the world. Once the audio is shot, I will then be using the software to then edit some of the scenes and add sound to the background of some scenes. The people that will be playing the one getting bullied will be getting really upset and will be one of those that don't fight or argue back and just hides away and does personal things to help them keep calm with all the bullying. 

At the end I am hoping that the bullies will then realize what they have been doing and will apologies and then everything will be sorted and it will proves to people that being normal with everybody and not having bullies around will make a better environment for everybody around them.

The secret to my film will be the fact that their parent's don't know about the bullying so they both keep it all to themselves, and neither does any teachers. Until the end when it all comes out and this problem is sorted.

Questionnaire

Task 1

After taking completing your questionnaire of a minimum of 5 questions, distributing your questionnaie via Facebook and tallying the information, you will create a 300 word analysis with supporting documentation.

Complete the following handout to plan out your analysis:

What type of research did you do? Primary because I was the one that conducted the research and made the survey

                                                                                        

		What type of information did you gather? Quantative and Qualitive
		Who was your target audience? Why? 13+ because the age limit for Facebook where I posted this survey 13 is the limit age.

 

Survey Monkey - Rough ideas.

In today's lesson with Faye, we got introduced to 'Survey Monkey'. We had to create a survey asking for feedback on our short films. We have to ask somebody five or more questions. Here are my questions -

1. What is your name?
2. How old are you?
3. What is your gender?
4. What is your favourite genre of short films?
5. Do you prefer happy films, or films with a meaning? 

Research Technology

Key Research Terminology

What is a Primary source? A primary source is a document that you have yourself and done the research in your own time. Example – A questionnaire

What are Qualitative results? Qualitative results is when you ask questions that give a variety of answers. Qualitative results are the opposite of Quantative results, they can’t be put into a graph. Example – Asking questions that can give someone else’s opinion and not a yes or no answer.

What is Market Research? Market Research is getting information of your audience to improve your work. Example – Survey – Asking people their personal opinion to improve their work.

What are Quantative results? Quantative results is numbers that you can put into a graph and find the majority of the answer. Example – If you ask a question, the only two answers can either be yes or no.

What is a Secondary source? A secondary source is a research that has already been done for you and taken off the internet and used/made by somebody else. Example – Copy and pasting something off google
