Age ratings

Each individual film has a different target audience they want to aim towards; depending on the age group it could mean more graphic or stronger language. The age rating is created as some images or use of language is inappropriate for certain ages. The main reason that age ratings was created is being not all ages need to see the images put in front of them; these images could contain violence, substance abuse, profanity ,impudence or issues containing sex. There are 8 different age rating and each rating allows different graphically images and use of language. The 8 different categories are;

- Uc – Suitable for young children

- U  - Suitable for all ages

- PG - Parental Guidance

- 12 - 12 years and overs only

-12A - 12 years and overs only

- 15 - 15 years and overs only

- 18 - 18 years and overs only

-R18 - Adult works for licensed premises only

 

These age ratings are given by the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) in Britain.

Mise-en-scene

Mise-en-scene is basically everything that creates the film, it ranges from the location to positioning of characters. Mise-en-scene falls into every category when creating a film. Here is a list of what it can fall under. - location - Interior -Exterior -Costume -Make-up - colour (use of lighting) etc. Without mise-en-scene there would not be any particular mood an the scene would not be set.

Opening sequence

The final opening sequence that I watched today was from The Inbetweeners Series 1 Episode 2. I decided to watch an opening to a series to see if the title times was different to a movie opening/ending sequence. I found out that like the other films the titles were mainly at the end of the episode and a small number at the beginning.

Opening Sequence

Today I also looked at the opening sequence to Friends with Benefits. This film has more titles at the beginning of the the sequence than Harry Potter but also has most of its title at the end of the film.

Opening Sequences

Today I have watched the opening sequence to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, in this opening sequence I had taken note on how long each title takes and the importance of that title is depending on the length of it being on show, also how this creates the mood to the opening sequence. I found in this particular movie most of the titles were at the end of the film but still had a particular importance to this movie.
