The document discusses planning for a student film trailer project including soundtrack research, BBFC film classification research, a project plan and proposed location shots. It notes that diegetic and non-diegetic music will be used to create suspense. It also outlines that the BBFC classifies films and considers context of language. The project plan schedules shooting over November and editing in December. Proposed location shots include shots of the husband outside a hotel, running through streets, and the library setting.
2. Soundtrack Research
Saba and I decided that throughout the trailer we wanted to have a mixture of
diegetic and non diegetic as we want to have some of the characters talking as
well as having non diegetic sound which will hopefully be music that creates
suspense and a thrilling sound as this can relate to the husband’s chase
against time to save his wife.
From looking at freemusicplay.com, I thought that is was very useful and easy
and simple to find what type of music genre and the subgenres because for
example there was the ‘Style’ of music as well as the ‘Feel’ of the track as I
thought that the feel of suspense/terror would fit with the genre of our trailer
the most.
3. BBFC Research
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), originally British Board of Film
Censors, is a non-governmental organisation, funded by the film industry and
responsible for the national classification and censorship of films within the United
Kingdom. It has a statutory requirement to classify videos, DVDs and some video
games under the Video Recordings Act 2010.
The BBFC continues to be sensitive to the
public’s views about strong language. The Board
no longer relies upon a list of swear words
simply rated by offence, but instead takes into
account the strength, context and tone of the
words used.
The Board takes care to ensure that language
does not exceed audience expectations at any
category. More offensive terms are removed
from junior categories, while the strongest
sexual expletives are restricted to the upper
categories and, where used aggressively, to ‘18’.
4. Project Plan:
•Monday 12th November – Clarification of shots, location and props
•Friday 16th November – 5.00pm shoot scenes with husband in Duke Street
and shoot around that area
•Friday 23rd November – 5.00pm shoot scenes with wife and killer in library
•Friday 30th November – Shoot any additional shots that are missing
•Friday 7th December – Edit
•Friday 14th December – Edit
5. Location Shots
During the half term, I decided that I should take on the responsibility of
taking pictures of one of our location shots as this was near where I live so I
thought it would be easier for me to do this instead of Saba.
