this is before we did the makeup for the black eye.

this is after we'd done the makeup and the outcome. 

This is to show the process of creating a black eye through the use of makeup.

Age Certificates

As our thriller opening has scene which show evidence of physically injury we are looking at the age rating on http://www.bbfc.co.uk/ so we can determine which certificate we should give our thriller opening. 

As a group we are currently deciding whether our opening fits into the 12A certificate or the 15 certificate. 

12A Certificate

12A means that anyone aged 12 or over can go and see the film unaccompanied. The A stands for 'accompanied' and 'advisory'. Children younger than 12 may see the film if they are accompanied by an adult (e.g someone over the age of 18), who must watch the film with them. 

-  12A violence/horror 


At 12A, moderate violence is allowed but it should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood, but occasional gory moments may be permitted if they can be justified by their context (for example brief sight of bloody injury in a medical drama).

15 Certificate

No-one under 15 is allowed to see a 15 film at the cinema or buy/rent a ‘15’ rated DVD.  15 rated works are not suitable for children under 15 years of age.

-15 violence/horror

At a 15 violence may be strong. It should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury, however, and the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable.

Decision

Looking at the guidelines of the age ratings we have decided to give our opening the 12A certificate, because there is foreshadowing shots of physically violence.

Inception

INCEPTION

Sound: 

• The diegetic sound of waves crashing gives the audience that the scene is set next to a sea. Also the waves are made louder to support this idea. 
• Sound bridge used puts these ideas together.

Editing:

• Parallel editing is used so we can see what the male is looking at, which is the children. By doing this it makes the audience feel as if they're seeing what the character is seeing.
• The many but slow cuts create an intense atmosphere which is used to confuse the audience. This can be reflected by the slow waves at the beginning.

Camera shots:

• There is a close up on spinning top showing that it is an important object in the film. The medium on the main character confirms this as he is rattled.
• There is a match on action used , close up on the spinning top then and close up on the old man face to see his facial expression.
• Camera shots in this scene is to point out the facial expressions on both the characters. 

Mise en scene:

• Undoubtedly the main object and most significant is the spinning top, it makes the audience ask questions and gives a different dimension of suspense to the film. 
• Costume- There is a scene at the end where they're dining, all characters are wearing suits showing it to be a formal occasion. 



Important object

• lighting is dark which creates a melancholy mood. This is completely different to the first scene where it was sunny

Darker scene

Testing camera shots

Testing Shots

These shots are our testing shots for one of our more complicated scenes. We want the camera to be able to see the character in the mirror but we don't want the camera to be see.

Underwater Camera Test

Underwater Camera Testing 

An idea we had to use in our film was to do a worms eye view from underwater, in this video we tested the effect of filming from underwater to see how it looked before we tried it in our actual filming. We took a underwater camera and a deep sink, filled the sink with water so it just covers the cameras lense. To achieve the effect of being underwater we will have to wash water waves over the camera as it sits in the sink to gain maximum effect.

'girlfriend appearing shot'

This is the shot where the mans dead girlfriend is staring back at him. This is however not real life but his imagination. signs of him going crazy. However the audience are unaware of him being crazy. This shot can be problematic because we do not want the camera to be in view so we might have to use 'green screen'. We will shot the scene with both shots and see how it goes and which one is the better shot.



Pictures and video to be added.
