LO2: BBFC and Ofcom Regulations

The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification's) guidelines on 'Violence' and 'Discriminations' will need to be adhered to based on the content of our film trailer. We need to follow the guidelines in order to ensure that the trailer does not show any content which could be deemed offensive and would have to be removed by the BBFC.

It is important to follow the BBFC regulations because if we didn't then people could be offended by the content that we produce. Also the trailer would be at risk of being deemed offensive and being removed.

When creating the trailer for All Hail the Chocolate Dragons we need to ensure that we do not focus on pain when introducing violence into the trailer. We also need to ensure that the language does not include anything which could be deemed offensive.

The production of All Hail the Chocolate Dragons adheres to the rules of the BBFC because we have not shown any content which is too graphic and could offend anyone. We have made sure that the language which appears in our trailer is not too strong because it is a comedy trailer and we wouldn't want to limit the age limit of the trailer because it isn't necessary to use the language, and it would limit the demographic of our film trailer.​

[Contigency] Corruption Phase - Footage Analysis

Footage 1
This is a shot of Daniel running to his car and getting in which connotes excitement through his rush to the car. There is also an alternative camera angle in this to have more of a jumping around connotation.


Footage 2
This is a shot of Daniel running to his car and getting in which connotes excitement through his rush to the car. There is also an alternative camera angle in this to have more of a jumping around connotation.




Footage 3
This is a shot of Daniel picking up the envelope to have multiple shots for the sake of variety. This version of the shot is from inside the car which is to get people used to the interior of the car as it is used again for the key turn and the radio.



Footage 4
This scene is where Daniel pulls out the contents of the envelope to check what they are. This will interest the audience by making them wonder what the contents are, and the only way they'll find out is by watching the film, meaning the trailer would have done its job in advertising the movie.



Footage 5
This scene is a way to add in the montage music to the trailer in a way of mixing digetic and non-digetic sound, as the music gets louder as the volume is turned up on the car stereo.



Footage 6
This is one of the scenes that kick off the montage as the key turn connotes that he'll be driving, and also there will be a speed up to the turn and have it as a half second or so clip, connoting that he will be driving quickly to the point to his destination, making the audience want to wonder what kind of business there will be.



Footage 7

This is what kicks off the montage scene as this is the first scene since the music kicks in. However whether we use this or not is up to how much it fits with the other scenes, as the montage consists of more fast paced scenes, which this isn't.



Footage 9

DANIEL'S OFFICE

DANIEL looking out of window turning on phone. Slow fade to another angle. (3 seconds)

DANIEL

I need more to go with. 

DANIEL'S FRIEND

 Well it's your lucky day, I think I might've found who you're looking for.  (3 seconds)

This is one of the several clips of footage we took of Daniel saying this line "I need more to go with." This is denoting part of the disequilibrium and also raising questions within the person who's viewing this mind.

Footage 10

DANIEL'S OFFICE

DANIEL looking out of window turning on phone. Slow fade to another angle. (3 seconds)

DANIEL

I need more to go with. 

DANIEL'S FRIEND

 Well it's your lucky day, I think I might've found who you're looking for.  (3 seconds)

This is one of the several clips of footage we took of Daniel saying this line "I need more to go with." This is denoting part of the disequilibrium and also raising questions within the person who's viewing this mind.

Footage 8

FADE TO 

Daniel on the phone, listening to his friend

This is the scene of Daniel listening to someone within the story-world say - “Looks like they’re coming for you.” (Throws phone away)  (4 seconds). This will be recorded on a Tascam and it would be classed as Diegetic. This could potentially be the footage we use, it will appear after the title as we are already starting off with some sort of mystery, making the audience wonder what Daniel is talking about and therefor sell the film a little more which is the purpose of a trailer.

Footage 11

DANIEL'S OFFICE

Past scene of Daniel doing work in his office (2 seconds)

This footage is of Daniel working in his office to show that he is a normal person and to try and make him seem relatable before the turn of events that happen to him. This is a past scene to try and make the audience more interested in the turn of events that will transpire within the actual film. This shows the equilibrium that will be within the film.

[Contigency] Production for Corruption Phase

Production

Pre-production

We are going to collect audio effects which can be used when editing the radio show. We will also be researching what we are allowed to say on the radio in order to ensure that we do not offend the audience.

Production

We will be recording the audio which will be part of the radio show, it will include the hosts who are talking to each other and help the audience to understand that the show is Sci-Fi and will entertain audiences who will enjoy listening to show's content which is about "glorious space chefs."

Post-Production

During post-production we will be editing the audio which our hosts have produced for the show. We will be creating a jingle and adverts which will make the show recognisable and allow pauses in the show in order to make it more exiting.​

LO2: [Contigency] Corruption Phase Treatment

TREATMENT

Corruption Phase by James Hartshorn, Joe Taylor, Kenneth Abrina and Andrew Quinn

THE BRIEF

Produce a music video or film trailer in the style of Warp.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Corruption Phase will have the target audience from 18 years old to 45 years old because of the plot focused around dark themes like murder and kidnapping. Not for a specific ethnicity, a working class audience that can afford to go to the cinema.

SEGMENT SYNOPSIS AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE BRIEF

Corruption Phase would be a feature length movie about a guy who has his girlfriend kidnapped by masked thugs. This relates to the brief as this will take inspiration from Warp films like Dead Man's Shoes when it comes to the tone. Also it will take place in Sheffield with locations that create verisimilitude. 

KEY MILESTONES

1. Planning - Beginning on the 27th October, we need to have the narrative of the movie, the song permission, storyboards of the movie, location scouting and permission to film in them, and our risk assessment by the 10th November

2. Filming - Beginning on the 10th November, we need to have filmed the footage for Corruption Phase meaning we have done the lighting, directed how actors will perform lines and worked all the camera angles to appear by the 12th December.

3. Editing - Beginning on the 19th December, we need to have cut out the parts we do not need, applied music and sound effects to our trailer, adding in any effects and transitions we may need, and added the titles we will need by the 30th March.

EQUIPMENT

For the trailer for Corruption Phase we will require a camcorder to record the movie, a tripod to keep the camera still and allow for smooth camera movements, a recorder for the people under masks and possibly lights for some indoor scenes to look more visible in case they're not.

PROPS AND MODELS

For the character of Daniel, he will be played by Shiwan Kurdish, the character of Claire will be played by either Hayley Badger, the characters of Red and Blue will be played by Joe Taylor and James Hartshorn, and the policeman will be played by Andrew Quinn.

For props we will need a gun prop, a blank CD with a skull on it, 2 computers/laptops as the characters.

HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS.

For each location that we film in as part of this production we will complete a recce form and a risk assessment form. We will need to make sure equipment does not overheat because of how much we use them meaning they will have to be turned off every time we're not recording, since overheating not only damages the equipment but also it can harm the people handling them. Also carrying them in bags and handling them with care to avoid other means of damage to them is important as well. For the safety of the people whilst filming we need to make sure we film in safe locations (with permission to film there as well) and make sure they never have to do anything in the trailer that may cause harm.

LEGAL AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS.
Out of the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification’s) guidelines, we will need to adhere that there may be strong language in the product that is acceptable, even very strong depending on the manner of how it’s used, and the frequency, which is suitable for the concept of our trailer as it is about rebellious teenager characters.  There is a hint of a very serious terrorist threat in the trailer (which is a misunderstanding) and a strong threat that is not sadistic or sexual is acceptable. Violence in our trailer will not be present but at most violence would be very mild as it is a comedy (making strong violence out of place) and that is acceptable to the BBFC for a 15 rated movie.

The importance of following the BBFC is to avoid showing material that is not suitable for people who are below specific age group. Within the Corruption Phase Trailer there is explicit language, as well as moderate violence.

When creating the trailer for Corruption Phase we need to ensure that we do not focus on pain when introducing violence into the trailer. We also need to ensure that the language does not include anything which could be deemed offensive.

The production of Corruption Phase adheres to the rules of the BBFC because we have not shown any content which is too graphic and could offend anyone. We have made sure that the language which appears in our trailer is not too strong because it is a comedy trailer and we wouldn't want to limit the age limit of the trailer because it isn't necessary to use the language, and it would limit the demographic of our film trailer.​

The watershed is the time when more adult content such as swearing, graphic violence and slight sexual content is okay to put on TV (This time is 9PM onwards) and since this trailer features swear words, this would need to be after 9PM, because this is intended as a 15 rated product.

We will gain permission for copyright music by emailing the companies that own the publishing for the required music. They should be fine with allowing us to use the music if they know that is for a non profit project. If this fails then there is always royalty free music that is available online an example of these websites include Incompetech.com

In lieu of the Data Protection 1998 Law, we will ask for permission for every form of footage we have. We will ask people for consent concerning the fact that we are going to feature them in our production. We will use consent forms as evidence to them agreeing that we are allowed to feature the actors and the locations we use. The consent forms will be done before any form of filming.

DISTRIBUTION

The trailer for Corruption Phase will be found on the internet such as sites like YouTube and DailyMotion, it would be in the cinemas as a trailer before a 15 rated movie (usually comedies), it would be on Television post-watershed on channels such as Channel 4/E4/Film 4, Sky/Sky Movies, ITV etc; it could be before Warp films DVD/Blu Rays to get the film even more known. The film itself would be released in cinemas such as Vue and Odeon as the cinema is one of the biggest areas of success for a movie, it will be on DVD and Blu-Ray as they are still successful ways of distributing a movie since not everyone has the internet or uses an online service, streaming services such as Netflix and LoveFilm as digital streaming is a growing way of watching movies and since they're prepaid services, people aren't going to lose much watching allowing people to be more willing to try the movie out, it will be available as a digital paid download on services such as iTunes, Xbox Live and Amazon as they provide more options for people to watch a movie alongside easy access to the movie on a range of devices, the movie will be on TV channels such as Film 4/E4 and Sky Movies as they, like Netflix, are prepaid allowing people to easily watch the movie without having to pay any more money and bring the movie to the TV watching audience without internet access, and the movie will be available On Demand on services such as Virgin Media and Sky On demand to further get the TV watching audience without Internet access.

Lesson Objectives [LO1-LO4]

My current MTG is D*D;

However, I am only currently achieving a pass. Reasons being is that we have most of the paperwork i.e. planning and storyboards and we just need to do some call sheets and call for release forms. We are only at a pass grade because we need to create meaning in our production as it can't exactly be considered a film trailer due to the length of the audio media product. 

So far, I have considered that what has been achieved is P4 is:
a) Logging rushes and creating an edit decision list
b) Producing an offline edit and review it
c) Applying visual effects and transitions

To completely achieve P4, d) We need to link audio to visuals and applying audio effect.  

My targets for this lesson:
Create title graphics that fit the theme of my (groups) audio media product.

[16th and 17th March 2015]
I tried to recreate a 'glitch' effect for title graphics on several programs which include Flash, Sony Vegas and After Effects. Having no previous experience in doing this effect, the results of the produced were not of high standard (It did not work out unfortunately.) I will be trying further for today's lesson.

[Contingency] Unit Feedback (13/3/2015)

I will be needing to update my blog with the contingency and adding all the new planning material and creating the product.

We will be filming tomorrow (14/3/2015) and with the content we can film tomorrow, we can film around 40 seconds of the trailer. The other section of the trailer will be with the female actor but as of current, we cannot film that because we don't have the actor yet.
