Ideas

Our Intial Ideas was related to London based films and series such as Kidulthood, Adulthood and Top Boy. We had intial ideas from these productions because they all have relevance to aspects of society that take place in particularly gang culture and a lot of teenagers in London. We used some ideas and own experience of our own to help contribute to the concept to the opening of our two minute opening. London is internationally known across the world. When people see a the trailer and see that it is based in London, they will engage immediately and which will also help with the promotion of our film.

Certificate & Target Audience

'

Is 15 really stronger than 12A?

Yes. 15 works are stronger than 12 or 12A rated works and could include any of the following:

• strong violence
• frequent strong language (eg 'f***').
• portrayals of sexual activity
• strong verbal references to sex
• sexual nudity
• brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
• discriminatory language or behaviour
• drug taking

How much strong language is there in a 15?

There could potentially be a great deal. At 15 there is no upper limit on the number of uses of strong language (eg f***).
Occasionally there may be uses of the strongest terms (eg 'c***'), although continued or aggressive use will not normally be passed 15.

What about discriminatory or offensive terms?

There may be racist, homophobic or other discriminatory language, and the work could explore themes relating to this.
However, at 15 the work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour.

How much sex and nudity is allowed at 15?

At 15 sexual activity can be portrayed, as long as there is no strong or graphic detail. Some sex scenes can be quite long at this category and may involve some nudity and movement. Though nudity may be allowed in a sexual context there should be no strong detail.
There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context.
There can be strong references to sex and sexual behaviour, but especially strong or crude references are unlikely to be acceptable unless justified by context.
Heterosexual and homosexual sex and sex references are treated the same.

Can there be strong violence?

Yes, at 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.
Strong sadistic or sexualised violence is also unlikely to be acceptable.
Easily accessible weapons may not be glamorised.

What about sexual violence?

There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence (for example descriptions of rape or sexual assault in a courtroom scene or in victim testimony) but any portrayal of sexual violence must be discreet and have a strong contextual justification.

What about horror works?

Many horror films are rated 15. At 15 there can be strong threat and menace (as long as it is not sadistic or sexualised), although the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable.

Can you see drugs in a 15 rated film or video?

At 15 drug taking may be shown but the work as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse.
The misuse of easily accessible and highly dangerous substances like aerosols or solvents is unlikely to be acceptable at 15.

What about dangerous behaviour or things teens might copy?

We consider the risk of potential harm to impressionable teenagers. For example, dangerous behaviour such as hanging, suicide and self-harming should not dwell on detail which could be copied.' - Source: http://www.bbfc.co.uk/what-classification/15

Our opening two minute sequence will be aimed at people over 15 as it is suitable for them. Our Target Audience is teenagers and young adults as they have a good knowledge and awareness of the gang culture in London. This may well appeal to middle aged people as well as they can develop a better understanding of gang culture in the modern society.

Mise-en-Scene

The filming is going to be taking place at Raynes Park Sixth Form and the subway next to the Sixth Form. Although it is a education environment, we, Trillin Television are confident and able to create tension within the scenes to increase suspense that will lead to the thrilling events of the trailer. School Environment subverts the conventions of a thriller because a school is not normally the ideal location for a thriller but the subway location conforms the conventions of a thriller as a Subway is discreet, sincere and can increase tension from the scene amongst the characters.

Another factor is that we are filming during the day. In nature filming during the day does not cause tension or suspense so we are going to use numerous of close up shots and sincere and adrenaline soundtracks to increase the suspense and tension within the film which will lead on to thrilling action.
