Certificate 15
Name of Film - rated 15 in cinemas June 24th.....
Mac 2 have been thinking very carefully about the certificate rating of our film, this was challenging as it meant we had to think of where the storyline could possibly go from our 2 minute film opening, we decided that it should have a certificate 15 as it is not suitable for young viewers as it would contain, some violence and strong language, and scenes that even some adults would find disturbing.
The genre is psychological thriller so some footage featured would be very scary and confusing with most scenes playing back on the audience mind. We wanted our target audience which are 15 - 35 year olds to have the 'jumping-out-of-your-seat, skin-crawling' experience when enjoying the film without it actually being labelled a horror movie.

15 – Suitable only for 15 years and over no one younger than 15 may see a ‘15’ film in a cinema.
No one younger than 15 may rent or buy a ‘15’ rated video work.
The work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory
language or behaviour.
Drugs
Drug taking may be shown but the film as a whole must not
promote or encourage drug misuse. The misuse of easily
accessible and highly dangerous substances (for example,
aerosols or solvents) is unlikely to be acceptable.
Horror
Strong threat and menace are permitted unless sadistic or sexualised.
Imitable behaviour
Dangerous behaviour (for example, hanging, suicide and
self-harming) should not dwell on detail which could be copied.
Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised.
Language
There may be frequent use of strong language (for example,
‘fuck’). The strongest terms (for example, ‘cunt’) may be
acceptable if justified by the context. Aggressive or repeated

Film Production companies
Today in class we started to seriously think about putting our film production company names down on paper, we came up with many, many possibilities - non plausible though, as we couldn't come up with reasons for choosing them, and how to produce them into an effective logo. I created this montage of existing film production company logos to help us get more ideas and see what has already been taken.

Third draft of Our Film
We have decided to take away the sound of a can opening simply because it has no significance to the opening or the rest of the film.. originally we wanted the sound of a camera flash it relates to the agitated, crazy characters in the film.
We have smoothly edited a long montage of shots to create continuity and it is neatly complimented by the non- diegetic sound of the fantasy music.
The credits are basically non existent we just left the default title settings when arranging where we like them to appear and we will alter some of the footage to enhance the colours.

The Orphanage
Another Psychological thriller rated 15
A woman brings her family back to her childhood home, where she opens an orphanage for handicapped children. Before long, her son starts to communicate with an invisible new friend. the Spanish film was directed by Juan Antonio Bayona and hit home to the audience with the tagline No secret stays locked away forever. Rated 7.6 on IMBD
from a review we hope our film could be as well received as this and be successful The little boy in the film talks to an imaginary friend its all psychological in his mind just like our protagonist.

I've never seen a cinema jump like the audience at Frightfest for this film. I'm kind of tempted to name the shocks but I wont. Its such a stunningly made film, creepy, atmospheric, shocking, great story, beautifully directed, the main woman is incredible. I was never really sure if it was supernatural or psychological, but as it reveals...wow, its excellent. Its so well done I cant write more without giving stuff away, but go and see it.
