Film Classification



I produced these documents about film classification so that when we came to classify our film, and create our trailer we would easily be able to know what footage we could show in the trailer, and exactly what could be shown to make the certification of our film..

Sound and Music

The sounds within a trailer or even the movie itself are extremely important. They create tension in a thriller, a happy feeling in a fantasy and set the feeling of love in a romantic film. Not only is it the actors/actresses job to create the tension but also the music, lighting, mise-en-scene and sound bites. These elements need to be accurate and all work together to help the audience feel anxious and be just as afraid as the characters within the movie.
The sound levels also help to create the tension of the movie as usually the sound would get louder as someone/something gets closer to the character. Footsteps and the sound of a heartbeat racing could also be added to create the feeling of realism and putting the audience in the characters place.

Storyboard (First Draft)


We produced a quick storyboard of ideas for our trailer (above).

Analysis of "28 Days Later" trailer


28 Days Later (2002) 

A zombie horror film directed by Danny Boyle. 

Tagline: The days are numbered

The trailer is very fast pace, doesn't introduce many characters or much of a plot to the audience, it just alerts the viewer of the "28 days" and shows brief images of "devastation." A lot of pauses and cuts are used to keep the viewer interested. We will apply the some of the conventions and techniques of this trailer to our own work.

Clue- A similar film

There is already a film out there which is based on the game Cluedo. This was made in
1985, and yet set in 1954.



We are still going to go with our idea of creating a teaser trailer using the Cluedo game as our themed
  • set in modern day
  • on a farm
  • characters are teens- the players are just playing the game. We keep our own names. not Mrs Peacock etc.
  • More horror than comedy/class conscious film set in a large country house.
