Film Certificate

Due to the gory detail and amount of blood in our teaser trailer, we reccommend that 'Cannibal' should be given an '18' certificate.

According to the BBFC guidelines on http://www.bbfc.co.uk/classification/guidelines/18-2 because of the frequent bloody violence that is quite prominent in our teaser trailer, our teaser trailer would be classified at '18'.



Seeing as those over the age of 18 are our main target audience, this would be an acceptable classifiaction if we were to submit our teaser trailer to the BBFC.

Skills development: Post-Production

Editing

Our main sources for Editing are final cut pro and photoshop. Final cut pro was used for editing film and footage and creating the horror trailer. We used adobe photoshop to make our magazine and poster.

Sound

For our horror trailer we had to create a sound track to play for our trailer. This had to be original and not copied music, so we teamed with the music department in our college to create a sound that creates high tension for our trailer.

Skills development: Production

Health and safety

Health and safety is key when production. This could be done in different areas of production.

During applying make up it is key to always test the make up on a part skin and leave for about 10 minutes to see if there is a allergic reaction.

On set it is important to make up all wires are out of the way so there is no trying or falling over on set which could break expensive equipment.
Having a teacher near by is always important just incase of any emergencies.

Lighting

Make sure lighting is key to create the prefect shot. Where we are creating high key lighting or low key lighting it is important that each scene is well and equally lite.

Skills development: Planning

In planning our teaser trailer we gained skills in make up and costume by making our main props- the fingers. We did research on YouTube on how to make fake severed fingers that we could use for our finger necklace. Together, we used latex, stage blood, mouldign wax and make up to make our fingers.

We also had to learn how to do make up for our victim to create injury and bruise effects.

Skills development: Research

Google - Horror posters

We looked at existing Horror posters for ideas and conventions in Horror, in particular posters from films that are popular with audiences. Many of the images are very minimal but tell a story to its audience.
Examples:

Youtube
We used Youtube to look at how to make fingers, research on a newsrooom setting, exisitng horror trailers and make up techniques for horror films. This gave us ideas on how to make a good storyline that would attract audiences.

Websites

New horror movies that had recently been released to see what people's views were on the films. This was done looking at horror movie forums. This gave us an insight into what people liked most about the horror movies. We looked at Ben Nye who specialises in make up for horror movies as we wanted our characters to look as real as possible.
