Films classified 12A and12 contain material that is not generally suitable for children aged under 12. No one younger than 12 may see a 12A film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. Adults planning to take a child under 12 to view a 12A film should consider whether the film is suitable for that child. To help them decide, we recommend that they check the BBFC insight for that film in advance. Accompanied viewing cannot be enforced in the home, so the 12 certificate remains for DVD/Blu-ray, rather than the 12A. The 12 is also a simpler system for retailers. It means they cannot sell or rent the item unless the customer is over the age of 12.
A film festival is an organised event, in which presentations of films in one or more cinemas or screening venues, usually in a single city or region. Some festivals focus on a specific film-maker or genre or subject matter (e.g., horror or thriller film festivals). A number of film festivals specialise in short films of a defined maximum length.



The name of my short film horror is called : Lets play! (scratched in with kid writing)

my film proposal is that a boy is tide up drugged abused (hurt, roughed up, flogged, beat up and drudged) blood running down hes head and dripping from his/her mouth. sudden awakes gasping for air with a (staring with a) blurred vision then gets clearer as he looks around to notice he remembers nothing and is hurt and tied up until he look up and there sit two TV or just the one at first it is scrabbled then it becomes clear and voice start to protrude in the air "(first laughter evil to stimulate its a horror) then the TV shoes a masked figure saying LET'S PLAY A GAME THEN TV SCRAMBLES WHILE THE MASKED FIGURE IS LAUGHING. boy says no i wont play your game then the TV scrambles again showing the masked figure saying wrong answer. the boy/girl is scared (close up on eyes face) starting to fidget to escape from the ropes stopping her freedom. then the TV turns back on showing people the boy knows which allows him to have a flash back remembering the two people on screen making him start to cry saying in a low toned voice saying ill play your f***ing game. then it will cut there with a TV screen shut off with the masked figure laughing in the background.  then credits Will be shown.

WHAT ARE SHORT FILM FESTIVALS?  

The intended purpose of this report is too sell off my pitch in order to win other the specific audience and to explore the idea to producers (entrepreneurs) to get the film made if its good. From my research gathered, i am able too see that horror short films don't amount too the amount of views of that received from a thriller short film. I was also able to acknowledge that females watch more horror/thriller movies than men because they like the suspense and the build up of tension more than men do.

Hook: boy/girl awakes unaware of her wear bouts drugged and abused as (bleeding)

Twist: boy/girl remembers flash back (restoring memories) making him change his mind to play it game

The BBFC won't regulate my web series as thy only regulate movies and cinematic shows and theatre shows.

My short film will be distributing or shown at a short film festival or it can also be viewed on Netflix.

  short film festivals are where young artist go to share their art/talents in short film, by distributing their short films to be seen at the festival in which they choose the best one. The short films that strike all the marking criteria and shows artists understand the shot types and the point of a hook and a plot twist will get promoted in a particular area in the world (where the short film is being viewed)  and because of this the owner of that short film will achieve some reputation and praise (money or even a job to create awareness for them) and to show the world how creative they are and even help them find a place of work.

my short film is going to be distributed at  short films festival.

Film festivals:• Raindance Film Festival (Oscar qualifying)
 short film festivals are where distributors go to look at short films and if they are impressed by any they can pick it up and promote it in their specific world geological area. Also gaining the maker some sort of reputation and Appleseed for their artistic work. Also my short film also can be shown on Netflix.What's the difference between 12A and 12?

if the BBFC (British bored of film classification) were to regulate my 1minute short film i think it would be 12A or a 12 as it's content might be inferior for this specific audience.

 These are the three films that inspired me to engaging in my ideaa for my short film.

this film really helped me gather ideas for my short film as the content involved was so intriguing that it sparked something me to want to use some of the trends in the film to be inserted into my short film. 1 thing that i loved about the film saw is that its hooks and twists are so sharp that you would never see them coming and never would of predicted the out come of whats going to happen. it follows a non-linear narrative as there are flash backs to scenes to show characters piecing together the situation. it also built so my suspense and tension for me as the antagonist makes the protagonists killed them selves in which it's an irony as saw is being called a serial killer without actually killing (he gives people the choice to live or die for reasons given). lastly this film horror suits its genre as conventions are shown :gory, nudity, violence. however my film is for a lower target audience so my horror is going to be suited to their type of scares not too exploratory as this film.

this film also grabbed my attention as the make up and equipments and dressing was great to the extent that wanted me to use in my 1 min short film. the masked really was the centre of my focus as the masked did not allow people to show there expressions (disallowing us to see their real self and feelings towards what they are doing) however the mask have set expression on them which stir emotions. i think its also good as it is going to suit my specific audience as dolls, masks, clowns are perceived as scary creatures to them.

this film also caught my attention because of the mask and how this is like a game. once again the mask is used to cover up identity and to foreshadow fear into the eyes of the viewer also another selling point for me was the voice of the character playing the masked man as it was scary and freaky.


what i thought these films had in common is that they can all be linked to a game as in saw he wants you to play his game to kill or be killed which is technically the same for the purge as you get a whole day to cleanse the world of the lower class peoples and the sick to reduce the over growing population. and lastly scream as a man messing with a girls past i think is being precievied as a game.
