Prelimary Task - Car Insurance.

This is our Prelimary Task. This requirement allowed us to further our experience with the camera's before we completed out final piece. We experimented with the 'shot reverse shot' in the conversation element of the task and we looked at the '180 degree rule'. 

We had to involve the opening and closing of a door which allowed us to use a close-up and a medium shot from the other side of the door. 

During the conversation we used close-up shots to show the emotion is Carl and Oli's faces as they we're speaking. 

When Carl was walking towards the door we filmed the shot with a tripod and then again without a tripod to see which looked best. We decided the shot with the tripod looked better as it was sturdier. 

The editing of the task allowed us to look at what we could do using 'Final Cut'. This gave us more experience on the programme before it came to editing our final piece.

What certificate is my film?

In my initial research from the BBFC website I looked at the 12, 15 and 18 classifcations. This enabled me too see what the difference between the classifications are and where my film fits in.  

Horror

Our film doesn't involve much horror, and the parts of horror there is are not stadistic or sexualised.

Imitable Behaviour

Our film does involve a slight bit of dangerous behaviour including a fight of some sorts and a young boy holding a knife. This doesn't dwell on detail that could be copied and the knife, an easily accessible weapon, isn't glamourised.

Language

We only use a slight bit of strong language, which fits into the context so it would be suitable for the 15 boundaries.

Nudity/Sex

Our film involves no nuditiy or sex in our film which will fit into the 15 criteria

Violence

The violence in our film isn't  too strong and doesn't dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. There is nothing sadistic or sexual in the film and no gory images. This shows that our film does fit into the 15 criteria
