Filming day 4

This filming day was a disaster, firstly, we did not have a microphone to use so sound wasn't clear. A maintenance guy kept interrupting us whilst we were in the middle of filming. Finally, we weren't properly focused, so we couldn't get any good footage.

We plan to film on tuesday, we've asked the music department if we would be able to use a drum kit and they agreed.

Genre, Ideology, Iconography and Censorship

The BBFC (British Board of Fillm Classification) was founded in 1912. The BBFC is an organisation that is funded by the film industry in the united kingdom.

Looking at their website, I now know that our film have to be a '15' instead of an '18', the main reason for this being that nobody in our group is 18. I know that the use of swear words must be limited. Also sexual references must be minimal along with the use of gore.

Filming: Murder scene 3

Our third murder scene took place in the music department at our school. We asked permission for us to be able to film in a music practise room. During this scene one of our actors is killed using a guitar lead. We had to make sure that during this process no neck injuries had occured but it had to be made to look realistic. All in all, filming was successful and we managed to get all the footage we needed.

Organizing our filming

Filming begins at 15:15 on the 23rd November, this is where we as a group have planned to shoot another one of our murder scenes. We have booked my sixth forms assembly hall and the benefits of filming after school hours is there will be a smaller chance of being intrupted and will generate a deeper focus.
