BBFC

the BBFC is an non-profit organisation that is behind the labeling of age rating for media that is sold in the UK

  there are 6 different age rating, each with their own meaning

U= Universal and is suitable for anyone over the age of 4,can be sold to any age,

PG=parental guidance and is suitable for anyone, and along as young children are accompanied by an adult, can be sold to anyone who is at the right age or being accompanied by an adult

12 and 12,= suitable for anyone over the age of 12 and those who are under 12 who are being accompanied by an adult  can only be sold to those over the age of 12

15= suitable for anyone over the age of 15, but is not allowed to be shown to a younger audience or sold to a younger audience

 18= suitable for anyone over the age of 18, but is not allowed to be shown to a younger audience or sold to a younger audience

the BBFC was founded in 1912, originally they did the half and safety as early film stock, and limelightand projectors which where both fire hazards


in 1916 T.P.O'Connor was made president of the BBFC
T.P.O'Connor summarised the BBFC by giving it 43 grounds of deletion. the list was drawn from one of the boards annual reports between 1913-15.

here are some of the grounds of deletion

1. Indecorous, ambiguous and irreverent titles and subtitles
2. Cruelty to animals
3. The irreverent treatment of sacred subjects
4. Drunken scenes carried to excess
5. Vulgar accessories in the staging
6. The modus operandi of criminals
7. Cruelty to young infants and excessive cruelty and torture to adults, especially women
8. Unnecessary exhibition of under-clothing
9. The exhibition of profuse bleeding
10. Nude figures
11. Offensive vulgarity, and impropriety in conduct and dress

at the start there was only two age ratings U and A and there was only two examiners then in the 1920's there was 4 examiners and a women, how ever their identity still remains a secret

in the early days the BBFC had no rules or guidelines but that changed in 1930 when Hays Office introduced them in Hollywood

during the time of the wars the BBFC was mainly concerned with the Gangsta and horror films that where being made in that time period. so some councils where banning children from seeing A rated films even after they had been cut to match BBFC regulations

Disney's snow white and the seven dwarfs was originally classed an an A film by the BBFC it was then cut in 1938 and cut again before it could be a U, the film was then re-released again as a U

Coraline

Coraline was given the PG ratting

the BBFC allow some horror aspects in PG rated films but to combat the horror silly songs and the dancing mice where introduced because a younger audience my view the film, and this may cause negative effects on the young children( them being scared, nightmares and such) and they did not feel that a U rating would not work for this film

in other aspects the fight scenes in the film has less intensity added to the instead of being intense

the difference between story and narrative is that off: story is the event of what is happening at the current time while narrative is how the story is being told

3 narrative act structures

1)Equilibrium - the story
2) Disequilibrium - how the story is told
3) new Equilibrium

5 hollywood act structures

1) expositions - characters/locations
2)development -  get to know the characters
3)complications - something happens that causes the goal for the character
4)climax- the goal is achieved and all problems near to solved
5) resolution - happy ending  

linear is a type of narrative that starts at the start of the story and ends at the end, the story is in a chronological order example big bang theory

nonlinear is a type of narrative sometimes used in literature where some events are portrayed out of chronological order Example Pulp fiction

left is order the film is shown in and on the right the chronological order of the film

possible idea 1

LOCATION

F-block outside pool


get a crew  for first part, having me taking pictures of the interviewe then do a cutoff so we can here the interviewe introduce herself then cut to her(talking head) and continue the interview,
use the pictures that where taken and archive them and put them into the firms as stills, then get a recording of her doing something silly and fun to lighten the mood a bit

plan is to dot his twice with 2 different people

Locations

F block again Outside


get a crew  for first part, having me taking pictures of the interviewe then do a cutoff so we can here the interviewe introduce herself then cut to her(talking head) and here what she says about why do they cosplay and what it means to them, with more cutoffs of photos of them in cosplay.

Grounded: Making The Last Of Us (Jason Bertrand)

Story: the inside of the Naughty Dog Studios as they plan and make there next big upcoming game The Last Of Us for the Playstation 3 from showing it from many different employees.

length: 1:24:51( 1h 24 mins 51 second)

Narrative: Grounded doesn't focus i just one person, you get a number of people talking to the camera, telling them about what they are doing, why they did this, why that might not be working, then with the motion sensored actors/VA's it what they a re feelings when shooting there views on wearing the suits, views on the other actors where view on their character


Characters: there are many different characters as they we're either part of making the game, director of it or one of the motion sensored/VA's

Interview: each persona was giving an interview, they where asked questions about what they where doing and like what is that at times they did intervene  and talked on camera to some of the designers and talk to them

the entire thing took place over a few years to film then edit, features like so music was put in after the film was made while some of it was already in with the footage since i was playing during recording.
