BBFC RATING :) / the bbfc that is suitable for our film




 

~BBFC rating


 

after i have viewd the bffc, we decided to make it a 15 age rating becausethe filming that i am making is based on psychological not gore,this is the reason why i choose for a 15 rating.therefore, i asked for some people if the like to watch horror film and I found that more people at the aged of 13 to 15 years old they like to  watch horror film. 

another reason why i chose to be 15 not 18 is because the opening clip in my film wont be that gore, but we do use bad languge but not too much, and we are not swearing that much. 

thirtly, we chose 15 is because because in our film it will contain strong language and violence and some inamisible scene like horror scene , because it will be unaceeptable for younger childrens to watch they might get sacred as you know the teenagers could be capeable for this kind of film and we have better understanding.

Narrative theories

Narrative theories: Vladimir Propp


about vladimir propp: Vladimir Propp was born on April 17, 1895 in St. Petersburg to a German family. He attended St. Petersburg University (1913–1918) majoring in Russian and German philology Upon graduation he taught Russian and German at a secondary school and then became a college teacher of German.

what mr Vladimir did?
Vladimir Propp analysed a whole series of Russian folk tales in the 1920s and decided that the same events kept being repeated in each of the stories, creating a consistent framework. His seminal book, Morphology of the Folk Tale, was first published in 1928 and has had a huge influence on literary theorists and practitioners ever since.

Propp extended the Russian Formalist study of language to his analysis of folk tales. He broke down the tales into the smallest possible units, which he called narratemes, or narrative functions, necessary for the narrative to exist. Each narrateme is an event that drives the narrative forward, possibly taking it in a different direction. Not all of these functions appear in every story, but they always appear in this order.

VLADIMIR PROPPS CHRACTER THEORY :

the villain : fights the hero in some way.
the dispatcher: character who makes the villains evil known and send the hero off.
the princes or prize: the hero deserve he throughout the story but is uinable to marry her because of an unfair evil,the heroes jouneys is often ended when he marries the princess , thereby beating the villain and resulting in a happily ever after.
her father: gives the task to the hero identifies the false hero, and marries the hero, often sought for during the narratives.
the donor : prepares the hero or gives the hero some magical obkject.
the hero or victim/sekker hero: reacts to the donor weds the princess.
false hero : takes credit for the heros actions or tries to marry the princess.

                     film genre and sub- genres


i started to search for film genre and sub genre to                
i got the information from : http://www.filmsite.org/subgenres.html

Film Sub-Genres
Sub-Genre Types
Sub-Genre Descriptions
Select an icon or sub-genre category below, read about the development and history of the sub-genre, and view chronological lists of selected, representative greatest films for each one.

Drama film is a genre that is based on the emotional and realistic characters relatival. Drama film relies heavily on this type of development, dramatic themes play an important role in the plot too. If the heroes or heroines face a conflict from the outside or a conflict within themselves, the film aims to tell a story theater honest human struggles.

Chick Flicks

'chick' flicks or gal films (slightly derisive terms) mostly include formulated romantic comedies (with mis-matched lovers or female relationships), about family crises and emotional carthasis, some traditional 'weepies' and fantasy-action adventures, sometimes with foul-mouthed and empowered females, and female bonding situations involving families, mothers, daughters, children, women, and women's issues.  Their counterpart films for males are termed 'guy' films.


Detective - Mystery Films

  Detective-mystery films are usually considered a sub-type or sub-genre of crime/gangster films , or suspense or thriller films that focus on the unsolved crime (usually the murder or disappearance of one or more of the characters, or a theft), and on the central character - the hard-boiled detective-hero, as he/she meets various adventures and challenges in the cold and methodical pursuit of the criminal or the solution to the crime.

Disaster Films

.Disaster films, a sub-genre of action films, hit their peak in the decade of the 1970s. Big-budget disaster films provided all-star casts and interlocking, Grand Hotel-type stories, with suspenseful action and impending crises in locales such as aboard imperiled airliners, trains, dirigibles, sinking or wrecked ocean-liners, or in towering burning skyscrapers .sometimes  noted for their visual and special effects, but not their acting performances.

Fantasy Films

Fantasy films, usually considered a sub-genre, are most likely to overlap with the film genres of science fiction and horror, although they are distinct. Fantasies take the audience to netherworld places  where events are unlikely to occur in real life - they transcend the bounds of human possibility and physical laws. They often have an element of magic, myth, wonder, and the extraordinary. One of the major categories of fantasy-action films are the super-hero movies, based quite often on an original comic-strip or comic book character. They may appeal to both children and adults, depending upon the particular film.

Film Noir Films

 Film noir is a distinct branch of the crime/gangster sagas from the 1930s. Strictly speaking, film noir is not a genre, but rather the mood, style or tone of various American films that evolved in the 1940s, and lasted in a classic period until about 1960. However, film noir has not been exclusively confined to this era, and has re-occurred in cyclical form in other years in various neo-noirs

Guy Films

 Composed of macho films that are often packed with sophomoric humor, action, cartoon violence, competition, mean-spirited putdowns and gratuitous nudity and sex. Gal films or 'chick' flicks are their counterpart for females. This category of film is highly subject to opinion, although there are many classic, testosterone-laden 'guy' films that most viewers would agree upon, as shown in this site's Greatest 'Guy' Movies of All-Time.

Melodramas - Weepers

Melodramas are a sub-type of drama films, characterized by a plot to appeal to the emotions of the audience. Often, film studies criticism used the term 'melodrama' pejoratively to connote an unrealistic, pathos-filled tales of romance or domestic situations with stereotypical characters that would directly appeal to feminine audiences ("weepies" or "woman's films").

Road Films


Road films have been a staple of American films and have ranged in genres from westerns, comedies, gangster/crime films, dramas, and action-adventure films. One thing they all have in common: an episodic journey on the open road

Romance Films

this category shares some features with romantic dramas, romantic comedies, and sexual/erotic films. These are love stories, or affairs of the heart that center on passion, emotion, and the romantic, affectionate involvement of the main characters (usually a leading man and lady)..

Action films usually include high energy, big-budget physical stunts and chases, possibly with rescues, battles, fights, escapes, destructive crises (floods, explosions, natural disasters, fires, etc.), non-stop motion, spectacular rhythm and pacing, and adventurous, often two-dimensional 'good-guy' heroes (or recently, heroines) battling 'bad guys' - all designed for pure audience escapism

Super-Heroes on Film

This category is an off-shoot of fantasy-action films, based quite often on an original comic-strip or comic book character. Fictional super-heroes with extraordinary powers, derived from 1930s-1960s comic books and other more recent sources, have been the subjects of numerous fantasy and sci-fi films (both live-action and animated, and serialized and feature-length) with action-oriented heroes and heroines. Superheroes are repeatedly chosen to be the subjects of big-budget blockbuster films, with glossy production values, expensive CGI special effects and sets, make-up and costuming.

Supernatural Films

Supernatural films, a sub-genre category, may be combined with other genres, including comedy, sci-fi, fantasy or horror. They have themes including gods or goddesses, ghosts, apparitions, spirits, miracles, and other similar ideas or depictions of extraordinary phenomena. Interestingly however, until recently, supernatural films were usually presented in a comical, or a romantic fashion, and were not designed to frighten the audience.

Thriller - Suspense Films

 Thrillers are often hybrids with other genres, crime-caper thrillers, film-noir thrillers, even romantic comedy-thrillers. Another closely-related genre is the horror film genre. Thriller and suspense films are virtually synonymous and interchangeable categorizations. .
