Final Thriller - 'Pocket full o' poses'

What went well with our project

Although we did face some issues and problems whilst producing our thriller, we also succeeded in many elements of the film and our blog;

We managed to film the footage we needed quite early which put us in a good position to spend a respectable amount of time editing and putting finishing touches on our project. 

We also spent enough time filming on the location to ensure we had the best shots and camera angles possible to make sure our film looked professional.

Moreover, we got started on our blog as soon as possible and posted as many relevant things we could to back up our film.

We all worked very well as a group which guaranteed a good working environment and the work was spread out evenly between the four group members.

Overall, our thriller ultimately turned out quite well and the audience feedback will help us get a better idea of other opinions on our film. We think it built a high amount of tension with the help of the sound and music we used and the editing helps to make it more intense without foreshadowing too much of the ending.



Problems we faced with our thriller opening

We were faced with a few difficult encounters whilst filming, producing and editing our thriller;

Firstly, both of the days we spend filming were very cold which meant the characters starring in the film were trying to perform in challenging temperatures with minimal clothing for the protagonist but in the final product we found the bad weather created pathetic fallacy which added to the dark, thrilling nature of the film.

Then we had some issues with applying the footage we had filmed to the computers which had the editing software on them. The camera was not uploading or capturing our footage and when it did, our film got overwritten various times meaning we had to recapture all of our footage again.

Furthermore, after getting used to the editing techniques we needed to create the best film possible for us, we started to put together our final cut of film. This then also got overwritten and meant we had to do the editing again from the begining, this long process made us sure to save our work onto a hardrive and memory stick every time we adjusted our piece untill we finally had our final cut of  "Pocket full o'posies".

The BBFC rating of our film

Through previous research on The British Board of Film Classification we have decided to classify our thriller as a 15 for various reasons. The restriction of our film certificate means that people below the age of our boundary would not be advised to watch our film because of it's content. The film contains horror involving a child which straight away categorises the film as a 15. Furthermore, it also contains elements of violence and imitable behaviour which could be quite traumatic for people under this age limit. Also, as our influential film 'The Orphan' is classified a 15, this has also inspired us to follow this guidline as our film has so much in common with the orphan already. We feel the certificate we have given is very appropriate for the content of our film.
