Certificate ideas

When looking at what age rating our film should be I initially thought either a 15 or 18. This is because film that are the same genre or storyline. (Horror) are similar ratings. For example  paranormal activity which as many similar aspects is rating 15. Although this isn't reflected well through the trailer it is easy to see when watching the real film why it is rated 15.

Another example other films that the same genre that where rated a 18, it could be for a number of reasons e.g. the higher level of language and increased levels of violence.

However the institution or audience would rather a film be a lower age rating as it would be able to attract more of the target market, meaning it wouldn't then restrict a very important age rating

Weather Problems

Some parts of our film trailer will be shot outside, although the majority will be held inside. As there has been a lot of snow recently we have decided not to film the parts of our trailer that take part outside until the snow melts and the weather picks up some consistency.

As if we chose to film the parts outside now, should be need to go and re-film any parts for some reason or another, we wouldn't be able to. As we would break the continuity of the trailer, as for some parts there would be snow on the ground, whilst for the new re-filmed parts there wouldn't be. Meaning that we would practically have to re-film the entire part of the trailer anyway.


So we will begin filming the parts that will take place inside, which are the mostly the middle and end. Once we are comfortable with this parts and the weather is better we will then begin to film the parts outside, allowing us to begin to put our film trailer together effectively though editing. It will also allow to have the opportunity to re-film.
