We did a bit of experimenting with the camera and decided to do the Kuleshov Experiment as it is a widely used effect in the film industry and will help us when we make our film. The video below is the one we made ourselves:
It shows the idea of love, sadism, and pride.

Initial Film Ideas
After discussing with the group we came up with several ideas for our film. The ideas were all unique so we noted them down on a spider diagram. The concepts ranged from stereotypes to the less thought of ones all of which we wrote a brief synopsis for. The most favourable idea was the "Under The Bed" one as we could use a diverse range of camera angles to create the feeling of suspense.
I also found from extra research that people feel at ease and are given a sense of security whilst in bed. We could also play on the nostalgic fear of a 'monster under the bed' this would allow us to scare a wider audience by playing on peoples fears.
Audience Rating
I decided to look into audience age rating, I found that the age rating of a film is set by the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification). The organisation is non government and was first established in 1912 and is responsible for the national classification of films within the UK. We need to take into consideration the age rating of what our opening will be, 15? 18? We are currently un-decisive however after storyboarding of the film, it does look like the film will roughly be in the 15 age rating scale.
When it comes to film being shown in cinemas the power is actually delegated to local authorities to decide whether the film be shown or not.
Most notably, The Exorcist was banned regardless of its X rating (essentially the same as an 18 rating today). Also Monty Pythons Life of Brian was also banned by 39 local authorities despite its AA rating (14+).
