Film Ratings

To prevent the display of inappropriate content to younger audiences, all film are rated. This rating system is generally divided into 6 categories; U, PG, 12A, 12, 15 and 18. I believe my thriller, Breath, will be rated a 12, due to its mild violence and threat. Despite it being a kidnapping, carefully selected material will mean there will be no excessive violence and gore, making it suitable for children aged 12 or over. I did this to broaden my target audience in an attempt to make it more widely available and successful. Below are the guidelines on which I based my decision, found on www.bbfc.co.uk.

Media Genre Conventions

The Job is Done (Preliminary Task)

A short clip practising different shots, and looking into how effective they are in portraying the idea of the scene. 

The clip starts by tracking someones feet whilst walking. 

Match on action shots were used when going through the door, cutting from frame to frame showing that no time has passed.

Finally, the 180 degree rule is used to film the brief conversation between the two characters, having there head and shoulders in the foreground and the person speaking as the focus.

The clip also includes continuity editing, also known as invisible editing, to produce an almost seamless string of video. Here is the finished product.
