Umbra Hominis - Age rating and BFI funding research

-

Age Rating

The age rating that we are aiming for is 18. The film will be rated by the BBFC so we will need to ensure that we make it clear that Tom is a danger to himself and other people because of the hallucinations that he experiences. This is because a large part of the requirements are sexual and we don't need to include them to make our point about how disturbing and dangerous mental health issues can be. 

After making the opening sequence, I believe that Umbra Hominis would be rated a 12 or a 15. This is because we haven't made it clear that Tom is a danger to himself or to other people. This is something that we can work on in the full product.

BFI Funding

The BFI funded the horror/sci-fi thriller movie "The Last Days on Mars". They were given £1,035,00 by the BFI, unfortunately the movie wasn't a success and only made around £23,000. Of course we wouldn't be after that much money from the BFI and the 'failure' of "The Last Days on Mars" proves that having a large budget doesn't mean that your movie is going to be successful. Therefore we would hope that by getting a small amount of funding from the BFI, we will be able to make a high quality product without needing a large amount of funding. Therefore making it easier to profit from the film instead of breaking even or losing money.

Final Plan (P3)

After thinking of ideas for the script and taking the time to develop them further I have decided that the Script that I will be writing will be based on my "Umbra Hominis" idea. See my P2 Post for the synopsis of the entire story. In order to write at least 5-10 minutes of the script I will be writing I will write three extracts from different points in the script. This will allow me to clearly show character development and a clear narrative beacause they will be from different points in the story, when the characters have experienced and are experiencing different things and don't know how to cope with them. The three extracts are: 1) Tom arrives home and opens up his medication. The bottle is now empty. He hides this from his parents, intending to get some more on his way home tomorrow. When they ask where is is and if he is OK he tells them that he's put it in his room because it's easier for him and that he just needs a good night's sleep. Tom then ...
