The student created a film poster, magazine cover, and trailer for a romantic comedy film that intentionally subverts some genre conventions.
For the poster and magazine cover, the student followed several conventions like placement of key information and use of colors, but depicted the female character in a non-traditional "player" role rather than the vulnerable one.
For the trailer, the student diverged from including a voiceover and instead used music and on-screen text to convey the plot. Scenes were crafted to generate sympathy for the male character rather than the female as is usual. Jump cuts and fades advanced the storyline in an unconventional way.

5. In line with the consistent findings of the BBFC’s public
consultations and The Human Rights Act 1998, at ‘18’
the
BBFC’s guideline concerns will not normally override
the principle that adults should be free to choose their
own entertainment. Exceptions are most likely in the
following areas:
• where the material is in breach of the criminal law,
or has been created through the commission of a
criminal offence
• where material or treatment appears to the BBFC to
risk harm to individuals or, through their behaviour,
to society – for example, any detailed portrayal of
violent or dangerous acts, or of illegal drug use,
which may cause harm to public health or morals.
This may include portrayals of sexual or sexualised
violence which might, for example, eroticise or
endorse sexual assault
• where there are more explicit images of sexual
activity which cannot be justified by context. Such
images may be appropriate in ‘R18’ works, and in
‘sex works’ (see below) would normally be confined
to that category.
In the case of video works (including video games),
which may be more accessible to younger viewers,
intervention may be more frequent than for cinema
films.
Sex education at ‘18’
Where sex material genuinely seeks to inform and
educate in matters such as human sexuality, safer
sex and health, explicit images of sexual activity may
be permitted.
