BBFC Research - unfinished

‘’The British Board of Film Classification is an independent, non-governmental body which has classified cinema films since it was set up in 1912 and videos/ DVDs since the Video Recordings Act was passed in 1984.’’ This is from the official bbfc website. 

This is their own brief description of the work that they do. The bbfc categorize films and age rate them based on their content. This is done so that younger audiences do not see inappropriate content, which could offend or scare them. The age certificates are put in place to prohibit and protect certain audiences from seeing films that are often too mature for them. 

Film Noir

This is the definition from Google that I found for the genre Film Noir. ‘’A style or genre of cinematographic film marked by a mood of pessimism, fatalism, and menace. The term was originally applied (by a group of French critics) to American thriller or detective films made in the period 1944–54 and to the work of directors such as Orson Welles, Fritz Lang, and Billy Wilder.’’

However, film noir can be defined into sub genres. Which can sometimes alter the definition, but if the film is purely film noir this would be the correct definition for the genre. This genre is particularly interesting to me because they have a sense of mystery to the films, this is excellent quality to have in films because this intrigues the viewers and drives them to want to watch more of the film and of the genre. 

Sweded Film

The sweded film that I done was for 'The Fault In Our Stars' however, I have had some difficulty in editing all the videos together as they are not compatible with any editing software I have tried to use, this will be fixed over the weekend, as I will convert them however this is very time consuming and requires a lot of attention and so I have decided the best time to do this will be this weekend (beginning 20th September.) I have uploaded the videos to my youtube so that there is evidence that I have done the work. The fully edited film will be uploaded there in the next few days. The footage was filmed on the 11th September.
