Main Task Third Draft


I have changed the order of the shots and titles completely and used a hard grime soundtrack and synchronised it to the title sequence to create flow and tension with black out shots. The only problem is that our video is quite short and the soundtrack is not royalty free. I will continue my research into finding a royalty free soundtrack that suits our title sequence and adding in extra shots to meet the time requirements.

Our director of photography Chloe has created a series of questions for the audience to answer to gain feedback about our title sequence. We can use this feedback to help us improve our title sequence and meet the demands of the consumer. The questions Chloe has designed are aimed to get information/feedback about our weak points of our media product, thus meaning we will be able to review these answers to improve our weak points to potentially make our media product stronger overall.

Second Draft of our Main Task


We have incorporated many changes to our title sequence to create our second draft. I managed to change the font to Baron Kuffner to give a more chilling tone to our titles rather than just plain titles. I have researched and found that this font is the best suited to our chosen genre. We have cut out our scenes with Arthur and Aashna at the end of our first draft as our feedback implied that the audience was very confused by the scene and didn't understand what was going on and what the scenes meant. We also felt as a group that the final scenes dragged the title sequence on slightly and that when re-watching it our title sequence come across more like a trailer than a title sequence for a movie. By cutting these scenes out we have been able to build even more suspense for the audience as they don't find out what happens to the characters in the title sequence and await their fate, meaning that our title sequence now follows more thriller genre conventions in our second draft as it builds suspense for the audience and the audience are awaiting the characters fait,.

Age Rating Certificates

Image result for u certificate
U- The "U" stands for universal. A film rated U is suitable for all audiences aged four years and over. This means a film with the "U" age rating will not explore any bad language or sexual content. These sort of films are aimed towards children and families.










PG- The "PG" certificate stands for parental guidance, meanin that the film is for general viewing, but some scenes in the film may be unsuitable for children of a young age. It is advised that Pg films should be viewed by kids of age 8 older as the scenes would not unsettle them at that age but may upset that of a younger audience.








12A and 12- These ratings mean that the video content shouldnt be viewed by children younger than 12 as the content isn't suitable for people younger than that age. 12A means that a 12 year old can see the film in the cinema with the regards of being accomponied by an adult. Some may ask what is the diference between 12 and 12A and the only difference is that a 12 year old can only view a 12A rated film within the company of an adult.





15- This certificate means no-one under the age of 15 can view the film as it is not suitable for any one under the age of 15 even if they are accomponied by an adult.













18- Films rated 18 means that they are for the adult audience and are most likely to axplore bad language, sexual scenes and possible drug use and violence. No one under the age of 18 is allowed to view an 18 rated film.









R18- R18 is a legally restricted category. Films that involve explicit works and strong sexual and fetish material involving adults. Films with this rating may only be viewed in specially liscened cinemas and only be supplied to adults only in liscenced sex shops.





Our main task would fall into the 15/18 rating as it is aimed at the teenage audience but involves drug and alcohol use.
