The Final Deal Opening Sequence


Screen Rating Research

Our Film Poster

This is our film poster, we used this text because it is similar to the text in a text message, I put a brick wall in the back to give it an urban feel.

Rough Cut Feedback


After watching back the final cut we found some points for us to improve. 

To make the film look more professional we want to add a Rating Screen at the beginning which is the green screen with text to show the film has been approved. 
We think the music should carry on at the beginning to play behind the titles but fade the volume for the audience to still hear the dialogue. 
We also think that it needs to be made clearer that Charly is in London either by a sign or text to show her location. This London scene then goes straight into the drug deal which we feel cuts to suddenly. To make this flow smoother we could slow down the sound and add a transition.

Our Production Company

Our Production company is called Sitting Duck Production. It is made up of 4 people; Georgina Griffiths, Francesca Knight, Sam and myself. We are all friends to begin with so it was easy to settle down and get the ideas flowing, we also all took A-Level subjects that would benefit the production of our film. Georgina took Photography and Textiles so she was in charge of the moodboard and the photographed storyboard, Francesca took Art so she was able to help us with the sketched storyboard, Sam, who does film studies, knew what shots would benefit our film and me, an English Literature student, was able to have a great input in the script and plot etc. When it came to the filming and editing, we all equally filmed scenes and edited afterwards. And we also all appeared in our media product, so we truly were a team, a production company.

Classification

We have decided to classify our film as a 12. Because although there is scenes of kidnap and the selling of substances, we don't actually see what is being sold it leaves a lot to think about, our film also doesn't have any proper physical violence or strong language. There is quite a mature theme of Immigration which would raise lots of question and confuse anyone younger than 12, which is why we thought it best to make it a '12' film so the audience can understand the story and the decisions made by the characters in their situations.
