Costume Planning

In our opening title sequence, myself and Hannah are the antagonist. Therefore, we have decided to wear dark and manlike clothing. Hannah wears black trousers and a green coat and I wear black trousers and a navy hoodie. Although we are women, we thought we would dress similar to men as they are who people would normally expect to be the antagonist.  As we are doing a flip story, this means that Payman is the protagonist. His costume is black jeans with a casual black t-shirt.

All costumes are fairly simple but have been thoroughly thought about and have valid reasons as to why we chose these costumes. The costumes fit the characters descriptions well. 

LOCATION PLANNING FOR MAIN TASK

Main Task - Camera Shot List

Main task – Story Proposal

Premise: The flip story of two girls attacking and taking a boy in his own car!

Narrative: PAYMAN is a teenager minding his own business in the park when he realises he is being set up. LEANNE and HANNAH, two teenage girls decide to set PAYMAN up when they realise the value of his car and how badly they want it. They convince him into meeting them both on his own and begin their set up. It starts off by HANNAH meeting LEANNE who is waiting for her in the park. On her way to meeting LEANNE, HANNAH messages her to ensure everything is going to plan and they know exactly what to do. PAYMAN is seen walking into the park when HANNAH and LEANNE chase him being the two extreme psychos they are. All happens very quickly but is left on PAYMAN in his boot, who knows what happens next, it is all waiting to be revealed.

Theme: PAYMAN’S problems begin when he is too easily led by girls he believes he knows. He then continues to put himself in a situation he is not aware of and completely turns a blind eye to what could potentially happen. One man to evil girls, what could possibly go wrong?

Format: A 2 minute opening title sequence to be posted on blog of the AS media group.

Tone: The film is a flip story, everything you want and expect to happen, isn’t going to. Its set at mid-day, the attack happens in a local park, people are around but nobody speaks up. Everyone assumes two females one male, nothing will happen but nobody knows the flip to the story!

Character: Male actor would have to be a slim and fit boy who can portray no fear and confusion but only confidence, to then find the worst is about to happen.  Female actors need to be able to portray strength, and power. Showing they’re all for women and all for standing up strong when really that’s the easy cop out to being evil.

MEDIA INTERVIEW

This is an interview I carried out in order to make my blog individual but to also have an outsiders opinion of our groups main task. This person has never studied media before and therefore has no major knowledge but does drama so she will understand plots and why we chose to do what we have.

INTERVIEW UPDATE

I am in the process of editing my footage for my interview based on the Main Task ideas before we filmed. I decided to do an interview for my blog as it will make my blog individual and stand out a little bit more. I also helped film for another person in my group and here is an image of them mid-filming.

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS 

Here is an image of our interview plan. we decided to film a few interviews with people from outside of our Media class and ask them questions based on our Main Task. This will help me make my blog individual from any others.

BBFC Rating Research

By law in the UK all films have to have an age rating. The age rate films before they’re released in cinema, and the ratings range from U to 18. It is illegal for a company to try and sell films in cinema or DVD without the age rating sign being present. In theory anybody can watch a U/PG but if under 9 your parents/carers and teachers are encouraged to think carefully about if you do.

When going to watch a 12A, you can watch them if you’re over the age of 12 and if not for an adult to accompany you. This is set there for the adult to make the decision whether you watch anything disturbing or upsetting that could affect you, or they do not want you to see.

The BBFC first came around in the 20th century and was introduced by the film industry before big films came about so that the whole country chose an age rating and was aware of this. The local council of the cinema in your area can still ignore the BBFC rating presented for any film and make their own choice on what age can watch the film.

It is illegal for a company to show an animal being harmed in a movie due to the protection of animal’s law. Disturbing things such as something scary happening have to be noted down by the BBFC, or scenes that could show individuals how to commit a crime for example. Often before a film is finished being filmed the company will send it on to the BFFC for a pre published rating and if they believe it is too high they will remove certain scenes before the finish.

BBFC certificate rating for our film

Having done research into how the BBFC rate films and what the different age ratings there are, as a group we have made a decision based on what will feature in our opening title sequence that it should be rated a 12A due to slightly violent, and mature scenes.

With research to what we can feature in our opening title sequence being age rated a 12A we can include:

Discrimination Discriminatory language or behaviour must not be endorsed by the work as a whole. Aggressive discriminatory language or behaviour is unlikely to be acceptable unless clearly condemned.
Drugs Misuse of drugs must be infrequent and should not be glamorised or give instructional detail.

Imitable behaviour No promotion of potentially dangerous behaviour which children are likely to copy. No glamorisation of realistic or easily accessible weapons such as knives. No endorsement of anti-social behaviour.
Language There may be moderate language. Strong language may be permitted, depending on the manner in which it is used, who is using the language, its frequency within the work as a whole and any special contextual justification.
Nudity There may be nudity, but in a sexual context it must be brief and discreet.
Sex Sexual activity may be briefly and discreetly portrayed. Moderate sex references are permitted, but frequent crude references are unlikely to be acceptable.

Threat There may be moderate physical and psychological threat and horror sequences. Although some scenes may be disturbing, the overall tone should not be. Horror sequences should not be frequent or sustained.
Violence There may be moderate violence but it should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood, but occasional gory moments may be permitted if justified by the context. Sexual violence may only be implied or briefly and discreetly indicated, and its depiction must be justified by context.

As a group we all have a clear understanding of the allowances for a 12A film, and can ensure we won’t include anything we aren’t allowed. As our genre is Action/Drama we will have mild scenes of threat and violence, but as I mentioned we are aware of the limits and what our target audience is.
