Post Production Questionnaire Result- Atul Sharma



We instructed our participants to view our short film production on our blogs or YouTube. After watching our short film they will be able to complete the questionnaire. We had 20 participants for our questionnaire as our group believed this the correct amount to get most effective and realistic results.

Justification of Film Classification - Chris Phillipou

The ‘12A’ category exists only for cinema films. No one younger than 12 may see a ‘12A’ film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult, and films classified ‘12A’ are not recommended for a child below 12. An adult may take a younger child if, in their judgement, the film is suitable for that particular child. In such circumstances, responsibility for allowing a child under 12 to view lies with the accompanying adult.

The ‘12’ category exists only for video works. No one younger than 12 may rent or buy a ‘12’ rated video work.

Discrimination

Discriminatory language or behaviour must not be endorsed by the work as a whole. Aggressive discriminatory language or behaviour is unlikely to be acceptable unless clearly condemned.

Drugs

Any misuse of drugs must be infrequent and should not be glamorised or give instructional detail.

Horror

Moderate physical and psychological threat may be permitted, provided disturbing sequences are not frequent or sustained.

Imitable behaviour

Dangerous behaviour (for example, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on detail which could be copied, or appear pain or harm free. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised.

Language

Moderate language is allowed. The use of strong language (for example, ‘fuck’) must be infrequent.

Nudity

Nudity is allowed, but in a sexual context must be brief and discrete.

Sex

Sexual activity may be briefly and discreetly portrayed. Sex references should not go beyond what is suitable for young teenagers. Frequent crude references are unlikely to be acceptable.

Theme

Mature themes are acceptable, but their treatment must be suitable for young teenagers.

Violence

Moderate violence is allowed but should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood, but occasional gory moments may be permitted if justified by the context. Sexual violence may only be implied or briefly and discreetly indicated, and must have a strong contextual justification.


Our production "Out of Control" is a 12A classification as we feel our production matches the 12A criteria. Our production doesn't show any violent, sexual or drug related scenes, neither does it show discriminating acts or feature abrupt or bad language. Our film is based in a school environment, where these elements are also frowned upon, so we feel we would be contradicting ourselves if we was to feature these in our film. We have also made it a 12A becuase although none of these negative elements are included in our film, we still feel an adult should be with the 12 year old watching, because the common room scene with Arran Omar and Armani has some lets say "slang related" words.

Genre Research Follow up - Chris Phillipou

For our short film project we have decided to combine embarrasing scenes with laughter, making it a cringe comedy, we have decided to create laughter/comedy through the use of products such as laxatives, which we feel will have an effect on the audience, and might want to make them turn away, especially in the lavatory scenes with the disturbing sound effects. This genre was influenced through a variety of films such as Dumb&Dumber and American Pie, in which they involve similar embarrasing scenes. The use of the laxatives will create embarrasment for one character (Arran) and laughter for the other characters as they will laugh at his expense, combining laughter and embarrasment.

These are the scenes I looked at for my comedy genre research.





he scene within the film Dumb&Dumber inspired us for our short film, this scene is about 5 minutes along, which also helped us make a whole 5 minute comedy film based on a similar scene. The disturbing noises of Harry relieving his bowel, is reminiscant of our film when Arran takes laxatives without knowing, and is left to fight the consequences.

Another film that inspired us with similar conventions was the scene involving Finch in American Pie (1999).
