The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is a non-profit organization that examines and rates films and videos according to age ratings before they are released in the United Kingdom. The BBFC was originally established in 1912 as the British Board of Film Censors to classify films nationally and protect children from unsuitable media content.

The UK Film Council aimed to support short films and develop new filmmakers through various funding schemes for areas like script development, production, distribution, and education. After it was dismantled, most of its functions transferred to the British Film Institute (BFI), including lottery funding for British film development and production. Regional Screen Agencies also helped fund short filmmakers across the UK, though their role may change following structural changes.Warp film

Warp Film is an independent British film company based in London and Sheffield. As an independent studio, it has more limited funding than major studios but seeks financing from various UK film councils and organizations. It stresses the importance of using short films to impress potential funders and get noticed. Some of Warp Film's biggest successes include This Is England, which won several awards, and Submarine, which had a small £1.2 million budget but made over £2 million in profits. However, some of its films like Bunny and the Bull and Grow Your Own were financial flops. Warp Film's success is attributed to securing funding from multiple UK sources and producing low-budget films that are acclaimed and commercially successful.Institution research

This document contains summaries of age ratings for two films:
1) The film "This Is England" was originally given an 18 rating due to strong racist violence and language. Several scenes involving racist threats and attacks were considered for a potential 15 rating but ultimately resulted in an 18.
2) Stanley Kubrick's film "A Clockwork Orange" was initially given an X rating in 1971, equivalent to an 18 now. It was released uncut at this level. The film was later banned in 1973 over copycat violence concerns but the ban was lifted after Kubrick's death in 1999, still with no cuts required for an 18 rating.An analysis of the ‘fish tank’

The document analyzes screenshots from the trailer for the film "Fish Tank." It notes that the trailer relies heavily on intertitles to convey plot details, as social realism films do not use special effects. The screenshots were chosen to showcase the neutral color palette and thoughtful composition typical of the genre. Natural lighting and layered footage create a moody, artistic tone through dramatic effects. Intertitles are important to establish the non-linear storyline in these types of trailers.Audience research

Audience research involves gathering information about audience segments to understand their attitudes, interests, and behaviors regarding a topic. It is important to conduct audience research before finalizing a project to understand the target audience and design something that will appeal to them. There are many ways to categorize audiences, such as by demographics like age, gender, income level, and occupation. Gathering this information through surveys, interviews, and focus groups can provide insights into what the audience wants. Internet forums, social media, and online ratings are also effective research methods because many younger audiences spend time online.How media producers define their target audience

Demographics and psychographicsBigDproductions

Demographic information classifies audiences by age, gender, race and other attributes and breaks them into bands based on jobs or status, as shown in a sample demographic table. While thriller movies could appeal to wide audiences, psychological thrillers may not appeal to those with lower education levels who are unemployed and would not understand the psychological aspects. Psychographics divides the market into groups based on social class, lifestyle, and personality, and the products or brands purchased reflect those characteristics and patterns of living. Thrillers can appeal to varied psychographic groups more so than other genres like rom-coms that target more specific psychographics.More from KatieDring123 (20)

The survey results showed that more female students aged 16-18 with part-time jobs watch music videos than males. Pink and Bruno Mars were favorite pop artists. Narrative music videos featuring stories were preferred. Most audience members use YouTube converters to purchase music, though some prefer iTunes for quality. Social media does not generally influence music tastes, but can help discover independent artists. The task helped establish the target audience which will inform creating a Voki and rate card, and later evaluating the music video's audience.

Conventions of a psychological thrillerKatieDring123
Ìý
Psychological thrillers commonly use certain conventions in their mise-en-scene, sound, and camera work/editing to build tension and suspense. Settings are often in cities or confined indoor spaces like houses or offices to limit characters. Costuming typically features the antagonist in dark, smart clothes while the protagonist wears brighter colors. Low lighting, mirrors as props, and non-diegetic high tension music or silence are employed. Quick editing, mid shots and close ups are used to show characters' emotions and relate tension. Flashbacks provide backstory while fast pacing keeps audiences on edge.Evaluation target audiences

The group researched psychological thriller films and found that Warner Brothers was a common major distributor. Warner Brothers had distributed successful psychological thrillers like The Orphan and Copycat. The group decided Warner Brothers would be the best choice to distribute their film because films they distributed had large budgets and earned close to double their budgets. A large budget would allow for better production quality and marketing. Warner Brothers' experience distributing similar films would also help the group make a memorable and effective film. Choosing a major well-known distributor like Warner Brothers would help publicize and promote the film, increasing the chances of success and profit.Evaluation task 3 new

Warner Brothers would be the best distributor for the film because they have successfully distributed many psychological thriller films in the past with large budgets. Their experience distributing films in this genre would help the film succeed and they have the resources to promote the film widely in theaters. Choosing a major distributor like Warner Brothers over a small independent one would give the film a better chance of being shown in cinemas rather than just released online or straight to DVD.Evaluation task one
