The document reviews various websites related to filmmaking and short films. Several websites provided useful information and potential competitions to enter a short film idea. Specifically, websites about the BBFC film ratings, tips for low budget and location scouting, and film competitions from Raindance and ASFF festivals were highlighted as helpful. However, some websites on typical production costs and getting films on Netflix were only partially applicable due to the document author's very low budget short film.

1. Website Feedback/ Review
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167404/ This website was very
useful. It allowed me to
review the film in which my
short films was based on
and look at the feedback to
evaluate whether this was
the right film to base my
short film on.
http://www.filmmakerforum.org/production/1518-how-much-
does-it-cost-to-shoot-a-short-film.html
This was partially helpful. It
allowed me to see the price
of a usual short film but
since my short film was
one with no budget, it didn’t
apply to me.
https://www.kickstarter.com/ This website sort of helped.
It gave me information for
future reference. However,
since my film had a small
budget, it didn’t apply to
me.
http://www.bbfc.co.uk/what-classification This was helpful as it
showed me what
conventions films of my
genre usually use.
However, my film was not
going to be rated and
therefore it was not
relevant for my particular
film.
http://raindancefestival.org/submissions-2016/ This was helpful because
my film fit the brief for this
competition which means
that this could be a
possible competition to
enter my idea in.
http://www.asff.co.uk/submit/ This website was helpful
because my film fit the brief
for this competition which
means that this could be a
possible competition to
enter my idea in.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/filmnetwork/filmmaking/guide/introduction/
what-makes-a-good-short#beginning
This website was
extremely helpful because
it allowed me to gather
some advice about short

2. films so that I could apply it
to mine and hopefully
improve the quality of it.
http://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/jul/26/sixth-sense-film-
twists
This was useful and it gave
me the idea that this was
the best type of ending for
my short film as not only
was it voted the biggest
shock but also all of the
other biggest shocks
were similar.
http://www.filmmakerforum.org/production/1518-how-much-
does-it-cost-to-shoot-a-short-film.html
This website was useful
because it told me how
much a usual production
cost so that i could plan
mine. However, my
production has virtually no
budget and therefore this
website does not apply to
my production and was not
as helpful as it would be to
other people making short
films. This website was
also quite unreliable
because anyone can
comment on it and the
information
isn't necessarily correct.
https://www.nyfa.edu/student-resources/get-your-independent-
movie-on-netflix/
Although this was helpful
for future reference, this
told me that my film had
little chance of being put on
Netflix and that there is no
way to submit it. This
website was partially useful
because it gave little
information but not all of it
was relevant.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/internet/9929070/BBFC-
has-persuasion-job-over-online-ratings.html
This website was useful as
it told me that if my film
were to be distributed via
Netflix it would be rated
and therefore I should look

3. into the possible
certification of my movie.
http://www.bbfc.co.uk/industry-services/digital-ratings/watch-
rate-faqs
These website
was partially useful
because even though this
information isn't likely to
be useful to me know, if my
film went any further e.g
got put on Netflix, this
would be
useful information.
http://www.bbfc.co.uk/industry-services/fee-calculator
http://www.thetakes.com/blog/12_location_scouting_tips This website was useful
because it gave me loads
of relevant advice on how
to pick locations which I
have interpreted into my
planning.

This website was not very
helpful as it didn’t apply to
my low budget one minute
short film and was unlikely
to be won.
http://www.raindance.org/10-zero-budget-filmmaking-tips/ This website was useful
because it gave me lots of
tips on low budget film
making which i could
interpret into my idea as I
do not have a big budget to
work from.
