BBFC Lessons.
This lesson we learnt about what makes a film a U or a PG.
We started by going on http://www.bbfc.co.uk/ to define each one and find their similarities and differences. We were put into groups and each group had to make poster of the rules defining either a U film or a PG film. In this lesson I learnt that a U film should be suitable for ages 4 and under with no references to drugs, no discriminal language, mild bad language, only mild horror sequences if any, so basically it can be classed as a U if the content is mild enough for children under the age of 4. However in PG there is a little more lenience but not much it still has to be suitable for children. Then we watched the first 5 minutes of multiple films and had to decide if they were a U or a PG and say why we thought so.
The films we watched were:
Harry Potter philosopher’s stone which our group decided was a PG due to the violence,
The film UP we decided was a U as there was strong content but all very mild,
Watership down which we decided was a U.
Home alone we decided was a PG as there was violence and bad language but still suitable for children.
And Madagascar we decided was a PG as it was suitable for the viewing of children.
Storyboarding
We watched the first 5minutes of BACK TO THE FUTURE and were told to make notes of we were watching. For example the most important objects, the different shot types used in each shot or any significant change and the sounds as well as duration the shot was on screen for.
Using our notes we had to create a storyboard just like the one that would’ve been created before the actual film started being filmed. We had to show the camera movement and shot type and the duration of each frame to portray the frames we just saw on screen. This way you could see how the sequence was going to pan out, how similar it was to the film, this emphasised the use of a storyboard as it helped you imagine your outcome. It didn’t matter if you weren’t the best at drawing as you could make up for it in the info part of the storyboard.
