Location of my thriller task
Me and Eve have decided that the location of our film will be in some near by woods. We have chosen this because we believe that this location fits better with the theme of our film, hence the name "The man with the wooden shadow". We also believe that we will be able to get lots of interesting footage at this location and we also have a very creative idea of how the characters names will appear and disappear on/off screen. The pictures have a difference in season, but that is to show how seasons and weather can affect the genre of a film.
Production Tips
Here are a few tips that will make your production method easier and better!
-Plan locations which you wish to film at and make sure you check what the weather is going to be like. This gives you an upper hand when planning your shoot because you can plan around what equipment and precautions you may need to take e.g. a cover for the camera if it is raining. This helps to minimise errors around continuity and can help with the overall pace of the process.
-Remember the 180 degree rule. This can also help with continuity, as it is always going to be a major part of your film. Without continuity, your audience will find it difficult to believe that your piece all happened at the same time. Also the 180 degree rule makes sure that camera angles don't confuse the viewers.
-Shooting more footage than needed is always a must because then, if some of your shots didn't turn out right or had issues, you will have back up footage so you won't have gaps that don't make sense in your film.
-Risk assessments are important to complete so whoever is in your film knows if there could be any dangers present during the shoot. It is also important to have with you because then you know what needs extra attention paid to it and how to prevent injuries from happening to anyone present.
-Plan around peoples schedules, make sure you know when they are free and how long they are free for. this way, you won't have them leave half way through because they have to be somewhere. Also, tell them that you need them longer than you actually do, this way if you finish early they'll be happy.
-Make a list of props, equipment, cameras ect. that will be needed for your shoot, this way nothing will be forgotten.
-Make sure to get your shots from multiple angles. This is so the viewers can get a better understanding of the setting. It also demonstrates your understanding of camera angles, it also helps to keep the viewer entertained.

BBFC movie ratings
The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) is an organisation that gives films age ratings and key features to why it received that age rating. When examining a film to give it it's age rating, they look at discrimination, drugs, horror, dangerous and easily imitable behaviour, language, nudity, sex, and violence. If a film has quite a lot of these elements in it, it may result in it being given an age rating of 18. If a film contains none of these elements, it may be given a U rating.
PG stands for Parental Guidance. This means a film is suitable for general viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. A PG film should not unsettle a child aged around eight or older. Parents should consider whether the content may upset younger, or more sensitive, children.
Films classified 12A and video works classified 12 contain material that is not generally suitable for children aged under 12. No one younger than 12 may see a 12A film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. Adults planning to take a child under 12 to view a 12A film should consider whether the film is suitable for that child
The 15 rating means no-one under 15 is allowed to see a 15 film at the cinema or buy/rent a 15 rated video. 15 rated works are not suitable for children under 15 years of age.
Films rated 18 are for adults. No-one under 18 is allowed to see an 18 film at the cinema or buy / rent an 18 rated video. No 18 rated works are suitable for children.
The R18 category is a special and legally-restricted classification primarily for explicit works of consenting sex or strong fetish material involving adults. Films may only be shown to adults in specially licensed cinemas, and video works may be supplied to adults only in licensed sex shops. R18 videos may not be supplied by mail order.
