Thriller Task: On The Run

This is our thriller opening titles, 'On The Run'.

BBFC

Age ratings are designed to stop children from seeing or hearing unsuitable things in films. The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) give the public information about the film, like the age rating, the genre, how long the film is and what unsuitable actions are in the film that might cause the viewer to become uncomfortable. The BBFC examine films before they are published and gives them a suitable age rating.



The BBFC look at issues that children should not be subjected to, such as discrimination, sex and nudity, drugs, foul language and violence when making decisions. The more frequent these groups are in the film the higher the age rating meaning the film is only suitable for adults.

Thriller Task: Location Scouting

This was our original location that we were going to use. However, it seemed too dangerous too use and we didn't have any permission which could be bad for us if we were seen.

Because we didn't have permission and it was unsafe, we had to change our location. We decided to use the storage area of a DIY shop. This turned out to be better for our thriller because he is in a less secluded area which makes more sense. Also the area will be dark which will create a better effect of mystery. It has also given us more ideas of shots.

We are filming long duartion shots so that we can get the best bits but we will cut them down to around 1 or 2 seconds.

This is what we are going to film and what shot types we will use, which will help us know what we need to film on the day so that we don't waste any time. However, we might take more shots depending on what effect it creates and if we want to capture something else.
