BBFC TARGET AUDIENCE also OUR TARGET AUDIENCE

BBFC: The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), before 1985 known asBritish Board of Film Censors, is a non-governmental organization, founded by the film industry in 1912 and responsible for the national classification and censorship of films within the United Kingdom. It has a statutory requirement to classify videos, DVDs and, to a lesser extent, some video games under theVideo Recordings Act 2010.

PURPOSE OF THE BBFC: BBFC age ratings (text and symbols) are identifiable, understandable, trusted and consistent in their application and meaning.

Using them allows viewers to make safe, informed decisions about the content they choose for themselves and their family.

OUR BBFC AGE RATING AND CLASSIFICATION AND WHY:

TARGET AUDIENCE AND THEIR AGE (ALSO SOCIAL NETWORKING)

As you can see from this we have a male, who mostly uses the social networking site Facebook and aged 18. This would be our main target audience age range. Also the networking site that we will be using is Facebook to bring in a larger target audience and for audiences to connect. 

Male and female: both using social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter (our twitter account: https://twitter.com/indistinctive14) both aged 19. Due to film noir having a typically male audience due to the action and plot, we have subverted the stereotypical role and had female characters as our main characters, which attracts a female audience. 

Male, aged 18. Using Twitter as social networking account he uses daily is useful when connecting and knowing our audiences. These social audiences will be able to find out recent news and be updated through our twitter account, they can also interact with other audience members and the cast and crew themselves via online. 

 Our target audience age range is starting from 15 years old through the BBFC classification. The film can intrigue younger audiences through the action in the plot. 

All of these female are aged 18. They would be intrigued by the plot as we have subverted the main role from male to female. The romance in the plot would also attract female audiences into watching. Most of these females are dialy users of Facebook, but also Tumblr- (our Tumblr account: http://indistinctiveproduction.tumblr.com/) we would use this Tumblr account as a production company by using the ideas from audiences, interacting with them through inbox and looking at their film noir style blogs.

Audience Theory

Audience Theory from rosieallen1997

Femme Fatale

In our film, we have subverted the traditional role of the females being the ones in trouble and needing help, instead we have made them the main characters that CAUSE the trouble.

Bridgette one of the femme fatales, is married to Raymond who is a wealthy man.. she is believed to be in love with her husband but it maybe all just for the money. This is suggested by her affair with the Detective that she carries out. However, whilst the Detective is carrying out an affair with Bridgette he is with another woman... Vivienne. Vivienne is the other main character who is a femme fatale, she twists and turns causing evil and distress. She is a young and attractive who seduces both the Detective and Raymond.. this is what the traditional femme fatale roles did.

Mise en Scene

Our mise en scene was mostly bought by me and Annie from charity shops and second hand shops. We got items such as a cocktail tray that included an ice holder, champagne holders and a cocktail shaker, we also got a dress for the character Bridgette, a Detective hat and coat.

The photo on the left was me (Bridgette), Annie (Vivienne) and Pierce (Detective) filming the first scene of the teaser trailer in our costumes.

LOCATION SHOTS

For most of our teaser trailer we have used a theatre, we have used to scenes that involve the Cocktail Bar and the bath scene that involves Vivienne and the Detective.

Highfields Park, this location was mainly used for establishing shots.

Also the Social Club, UNSSC

The two photos to the left were captured filming whilst in Attenborough, where we shot the scene where both Vivienne and Bridget meet up with the detective at different times. The far right picture was taken whilst Annie was in Switzerland, we thought this shot would be a great establishing shot for Raymond and Bridget's house.

These shots were taken in University of Nottingham's Senior Social Club, there is a bar scene we filmed where Raymond and Detective get into an argument over Bridget and it eventually turns into a fight. The photo on the bottom left was taken in the theatre where there were many extras to make a cocktail bar scene.

These photos were taken in Annie's garden where we used her shed to make an office-type room for Raymond. This is used in the scene where Vivienne tells Raymond if his wife's infidelity and seduces him.
