THE POSTER FOR MY FILM: EXTRACTION

SOCIAL GROUPS AND ISSUES

SOCIAL GROUPS AND ISSUES 

 I used the app, Pinterest, to identify categories included in my film opening such as identifying social groups and issues. This gave me visual ideas and inspiration e.g locations.

Theme

Issues

Location

From ideas taken from pintrest I created boards and I could then create the visual of what I want from my phone. I discovered the location of which I would like to have filmed, I found social issues that are very present within today's society. The locations selected are dimly lit and appear isolated creating a creepy atmosphere. The boards similar to my film opening have the perfect atmosphere and highlight current issues within society in which creates awareness. My group and I had props within the boards, in which included: brain scans from a MRI scan, criminal weapons, crime scene boards and thriller book covers. Overall I created a visual representation of what I wanted my film to look like and what it would contain. Meaning my production company would be more likely to achieve and create a better film opening. 

CONSTRUCTION: BBFC CERTIFICATE

CONSTRUCTION: BBFC CERTIFICATE 

Film Certificates are decided and awarded by the British Board of Film Classification. The BBFC watches films and videos all the way through and awards an age rating and insight to each one.The BBFC uses published Classification Guidelines for certain age ranges, ensuring that the content of the film is age appropriate and that children or young people do not see films that are unsuitable for them.

I researched how the BBFC classifies films by studying their website. I learned that a certificate may have strong language and may show violence. but is must not dwell on the infliction of pain and injury. Whilst a 15 certificate film may contain threat or horror, a sustained focus on sadistic threat is not acceptable. Therefore, as our film does not contain any of the other unacceptable categories (like dangerous behavior, drugs, discrimination, nudity or sex/sexual violence), I came to the considered opinion that our film EXTRACTION would be likely to receive a 15 certificate. 

To make my certificate I found a suitable template and edited it in Powerpoint.

INTERVIEWING FILM DIRECTOR

INTERVIEWING A FILM DIRECTOR 

To explore the character and directors aims in this movie, I set up a hot seat interview, questioning Ollie who plays the character of the stalker, as well as being the director himself. This enables viewers to analyse the story and gain a more in-depth idea of the plot and motive. When directors create character roles, they try and get the actors to inhabit the role and make it as realistic and believable to the audience that they are who they're acting as. From the interview I was able to learn things such as why this movie is unique and different to other productions, furthermore acknowledging the influences such as Elon Musk and science. 

PLANNING: RISK ASSESSMENT

 

PLANNING: RISK ASSESSMENT

A risk assessment is necessary to avoid any injuries or dangers which we may come in contact with throughout our filming. This table below presents these possible dangers and how we avoided them. I categorised this table into the main themed risks: Location/Environment, Weather and General Public. 

HEALTH HAZARD: 

These are all the factors which could be dangerous and are highlighted as risks to us. For example, we identified the fact there were rabbit holes where we were filming, factors of which may be dangerous to us due to if we accident stood in one it may injure us.

RISK LEVEL:

This is judged with labels, H, M or L, standing for high, medium and low, judging the health hazard by how dangerous it is. None of our risks we discovered were labelled H, mostly medium and low. An example of this is when we labelled the rain risk as M due to the rain wasn't an extremely significant risk, however it could effect us when filming.

RISK EXPOSURE:

This is a list of how and why the health hazards are dangerous, for example, we evaluated the 'trespassing' problem by explaining that being found in a location which we weren't given permission to film in may result in us being banned from there or just get in trouble with the teachers. 

CONTROL MEASURE: 

This box explains how to avoid the dangers and reduce the risk of them, such as wear more layers of clothing to avoid the cold weather when filming.
