Classification of the Film opening P4

I've chosen the classification 12 according to the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification). It means that my film opening is not suitable for children under 12 years old. My film opening is a scary one, so I decided not to put a PG because it may scare audience of that age. I've chosen the 12 rating because in films of that classification violence can exist, but there should not be any emphasis on blood or injures. (In PG there should not be any violence at all)

BBFC Classification (research) P4

All classification decisions are based on the BBFC’s published and regularly updated Guidelines. The Guidelines are the product of extensive public consultation, research and the accumulated experience of the BBFC over many years. They reflect current views on film, DVD and video game regulation.         

• The U symbol stands for Universal. A U film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over.

• There is no bad language in such films. Except mild bad language (eg ‘damn’ and ‘hell’).
• At all categories heterosexual and homosexual sexual behaviour and activities are treated the same. There could be occasional very mild references to gay or straight sex at U.
• A U film may include brief fight scenes or moments where characters are placed in danger. Baddie heroes are not allowed to carry guns. However, "good" characters can (but unlikely) to do it.
• There is no references to drug using, unless it is a clear anti-using message. 

,

• 12A means that anyone aged 12 or over can go and see the film unaccompanied.
• There may be strong language (eg 'f***') at 12 or 12A, but it must be infrequent. The context of the strong language is important. 
• Sex may be briefly and discreetly portrayed at 12 or 12A.
• At 12A, moderate violence is allowed but it should not dwell on detail.
• Dangerous behaviour (for example hanging, suicide and self-harming) may be present in 12 or 12A works but will not dwell on detail which could be copied or present those activities as pain or harm free.

• No-one under 15 is allowed to see a 15 film at the cinema.

Here is the list of things that can be included.

• Strong violence
• Frequent strong language (eg 'f***').
• Portrayals of sexual activity
• Strong verbal references to sex
• Sexual nudity
• Brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
• Discriminatory language or behaviour
• Drug taking
• There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context.

• Films rated 18 are for adults. No-one under 18 is allowed to see an 18 film at the cinema or buy/rent an 18 rated DVD. No 18 rated works are suitable for children.

18 works are for adults and can contain strong issues such as:

• very strong violence
• frequent strong language (eg 'f***') and/or very strong language (eg ‘c***’)
• strong portrayals of sexual activity
• scenes of sexual violence
• strong horror
• strong blood and gore
• real sex (in some circumstances)
• discriminatory language and behaviour

Video File Formats

The following is a brief explanation of the different video file formats:

Flash Video Format (.flv)
Flash video is playable within Flash movies files, which are supported by practically every browser on every platform. It has become extremely popular because of that.

AVI Format (.avi)
The AVI format was developed by Microsoft.
The AVI format usually uses less compression than some similar formats and is a very popular format.

AVI files most commonly contain M-JPEG, or DivX codecs, but can also contain almost any format.

The AVI format is supported by almost all computers using Windows, and can be played on various players.
Some of the most common players that support the avi format are:

• Apple QuickTime Player (windows & Mac)
• Microsoft Windows Media Player (Windows & Mac)
• VideoLAN VLC media player (Windows & Mac)

Quicktime Format (.mov)
The QuickTime format was developed by Apple and is a very common one. It is often used on the internet, and for saving movie and video files.

It is compatible with both Mac and Windows platforms, and can be played on an Apple Quicktime player.

MP4 Format (.mp4)
This format is mostly used to store audio and visual streams online, most commonly those defined by MPEG.
The mp4 can most commonly be played on the Apple QuickTime Player or other movie players. Devices that play p4 are also known as mp4 players.

Windows Media Video Format (.wmv)
WMV format, short for Windows Media Video was developed by Microsoft.
Videos stored in the Windows Media format have the extension .wmv.


Flash Movie Format (.swf )
The Flash movie format was developed my Macromedia.
This format can include text, graphics and animation. In order to play in Web Browsers, they must have the Flash Plug-In Installed. The flash plug in comes preinstalled in the latest version of many popular Web Browsers.

Compressing Files

The compression system is very useful for Web users, because it lets them reduce the overall number of bits and bytes in a file so it can be transmitted faster over slower Internet connections, or take up less space on a disk.

Most types of computer files are fairly redundant. They have the same information listed over and over again. File-compression programs simply get rid of the unneeded bits. Instead of listing a piece of information over and over again, a file-compression program lists that information once and then refers back to it whenever it appears in the original program.

Lossy and Lossless Compressions

Lossless compression lets you recreate the original file exactly. All lossless compression is based on the idea of breaking a file into a "smaller" form for transmission or storage and then putting it back together on the other end so it can be used again.

Lossy compression simply eliminate "unnecessary" bits of information, tailoring the file so that it is smaller. This type of compression is used a lot for reducing the file size of bitmap pictures, which tend to be fairly bulky.

Recce Shot example

Research

Shutter Speed

Shutter speed is the length of time a camera's shutter is open when taking a photograph (shooting the video)
Here are some examples:

The smaller the number, the blurrier image is.

Aperture

Is a hole or an opening through which light travels.  

Here is a video which tells a lot about it.

Basically, the smaller the number of aperture, the bigger the hole and more light comes into your camera. If the number is big, there will be less light coming into your camera.

ISO

Iso measures the sensitivity of image sensor. The higher the number the more sensitive your camera is to light. Higher ISO settings are usually used in dark situations .
