MES - Costume

Scouting Location Shots

We decided to use copse tunnel, below are some example images we took to see if it was a suitable location to use. We decided to use this as it suggests an arena tunnel that the rider will be walking down, the harsh lighting at the end emphasizes that it is unknown what will happen after he reaches the end.

MES - Prop

We used as little props as possible when planning the film. We used two main props in the plan for the film, these are:

Edd's Bike:

This is used to infer to the audience that our character in the film is an actual MotoX rider who is going to be entering this race. The use of an actual Motorbike is to add the sense of realism and making it more believable for the audience. It is also an Icon of the genre instantly connoting the film is a Motorsport action.

News Papers (Self Made):

These are to further push the narrative forward, filling in any gaps the audience might have. These will also be laid out to suggest the importance of the events that happened to the audience. 

H&S

Being ran over by Edd’s Bike	Low	Make sure that everyone knows when he will be moving the bike and where, also no one is allowed around the bike during movement.

Film Name

We have decided to name our movie 'Pinned'. This is a riding slang term used for expressing someone going fast.

The BBFC

About the BBFC

The British board of film classification is an independent, non-governmental body, which has classified films since 1912 and videos since the Video - Recording Act of 1984. However, all their decisions can be overruled by local authorities.

How does classification work?

The BBFC will watch films all the way through and award an age rating to the film. The procedure for cinematography usually involves two examiners watching the film for theatrical release. The senior examiner will confirm the examiners' recommendation. However, if they fail to agree the decision may be taken higher up. The same process is used for DVDs and Blu-rays, though they usually have one examiner.

Our film is likely to be a 12A as it has no dark or unsettling tones that might affect the audience. The film is not intended to have strong language used throughout or any discriminating behavior. There will be no emphasis on injuries or blood, but there will be a few scenes, in context, that crash footage is shown.
