Alien: Isolation E3 2014 Trailer Sound.
I think this "alien:isolation" trailer has some really good sounds capturing the surrounding. for example high pitch sounds make the audience feel jumpy and on edge.
Research into Certificate of film 15
What does the 15 symbol mean?
No-one under 15 is allowed to see a 15 film at the cinema or buy/rent a 15 rated video. 15 rated works are not suitable for children under 15 years of age.
What might I see in a 15 rated film or video?
Any of the following:- strong violence
- frequent strong language (e.g. 'f***').
- portrayals of sexual activity
- strong verbal references to sex
- sexual nudity
- brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
- discriminatory language or behaviour
- drug taking
How much strong language is allowed in a 15?
There could potentially be a great deal. At 15 there is no upper limit on the number of uses of strong language (e.g. ‘f***’).
Occasionally there may be uses of the strongest terms (e.g. 'c***'), depending on the manner in which they are used, who is using the language, its frequency and any special contextual justification. However, continued or aggressive use will not normally be passed 15.

What about discriminatory or offensive terms?
There may be racist, homophobic or other discriminatory language, and the work could explore themes relating to this.
However, at 15 the work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour.
However, at 15 the work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour.
How much sex and nudity is allowed at 15?
At 15 sexual activity can be portrayed, but usually without strong detail. Some sex scenes can be quite long at this category. Though nudity may be allowed in a sexual context there will usually be no strong deta
il. There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context. There can be strong references to sex and sexual behaviour, but especially strong or crude references are unlikely to be acceptable unless justified by context. Sex and sex references are treated the same irrespective of sexuality
What about sexual violence?
There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence (for example descriptions of rape or sexual assault in a courtroom scene or in victim testimony) but any portrayal depiction of sexual violence must be discreet and justified by context.
What about dangerous behaviour or things teens might copy?
We consider the risk of potential harm to impressionable teenagers. For example, dangerous behaviour such as hanging, suicide and self-harming should not dwell on detail which could be copied.
Whether the depiction of easily accessible weapons is acceptable will depend on factors such as realism, context and setting.

Innerspace (1987) — Art of the Title
Innerspace (1987) — Art of the Title
The title sequence starts off very dark, in the background their appears to be some kind of object that seems to be quite shiny and pristine but at the moment it is difficult to distinguish what it is.
After that it then dissolves into the following shot. As you can see on the image the object appears to be some sort of diamond or crystal. Or perhaps it could even be glass.
Then after the that the shot becomes more clear and it makes you think that it is most definitely a diamond or something valuable.
In the next part of the title sequence the camera zooms out and from what you can see it appears to be cubes of ice with some sort of drink. I think this is very smart because at first the camera work makes you think one thing but then after that you realise its something completely different.
The reason for me liking this specific title sequence is because at the start you get a vague vision on the object and then throughout the title scene the object becomes a bit more clear and makes you think that it is something very valuable but then towards the end you realise that what you once thought was valuable is just cubes of ice in a glass whiskey.

Research into certificate of films 12 and 12A
Film Age Certificates
What does the 12A logo mean?
Films classified 12A and video works classified 12 contain material that is not generally suitable for children aged under 12. No one younger than 12 may see a 12A film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. Adults planning to take a child under 12 to
view a 12A film should consider whether the film is suitable for that child. To help them decide, we recommend that they check the BBFC insight for that film in advance.
What's the difference between 12A and 12?
No. However, the BBFC considers the content of 12A rated films to be suitable for children aged 12 and over, and we would not recommend taking very young children to see them. Works classified at these categories may upset children under 12 or contain material which many parents will find unsuitable for them.
Adults planning to take a child under 12 to view a 12A film should consider whether the film is suitable for that child. To help adults make this decision, we provide BBFCinsight for all films.
What does the 12A logo mean?

What's the difference between 12A and 12?
The 12A requires an adult to accompany any child under 12 seeing a 12A film at the cinema. This is enforced by cinema staff and a cinema may lose its license if adult accompaniment is not enforced for children under 12 admitted to a 12A film. Accompanied viewing cannot be enforced in the home, so the 12 certificate remains for DVD/Blu-ray, rather than the 12A. The 12 is also a simpler system for retailers. It means they cannot sell or rent the item unless the customer is over the age of 12.
Is there a lower age limit for a 12A film?
No. However, the BBFC considers the content of 12A rated films to be suitable for children aged 12 and over, and we would not recommend taking very young children to see them. Works classified at these categories may upset children under 12 or contain material which many parents will find unsuitable for them.Adults planning to take a child under 12 to view a 12A film should consider whether the film is suitable for that child.

What about discrimination?
Any discriminatory language or behaviour will not be endorsed by the work as a whole. Aggressive discriminatory language (for example homophobic or racist terms) is unlikely to be passed at 12A or 12 unless it is clearly condemned.
Do 12A films contain sexual behaviour?
Sex may be briefly and discreetly portrayed at 12A or 12. Verbal sex references should not go beyond what is suitable for young teenagers. Comedy may lessen the impact of some moderate sex references or innuendo but frequent crude sex references are unlikely to be accepted at this category. There may be nudity in 12A films but nudity in a sexual context should only be brief and discreet.

The film "under the skin" could help us to make our film because it relates to aliens coming to earth, could help us and give us ideas.
Big Talk Productions, known for films including Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, produced the film with Film4, The UK Film Council andStudioCanal.
The plot was inspired by an event where the director was mugged himself, and after adding the science fiction angle into the plot, Joe Cornish interviewed various kids in youth groups in order to find out what kind of weapons they would use if a real alien invasion occurred. Cornish also based the character of the stoner Brewis on himself in his twenties.

Generic Conventions Sci-fi Films
For me personally, a sci-fi film is something that goes beyond what is possible to do in our time or in the past. Its about bending science. Its also about undertones and social behaviors. How does a government react to an alien world? How do two alien species who have been at war for a long time settle a truce? Interplanetary travel is another interesting thing.
Scifi flilms usually include
- Being set in the future to make it more beleiveable that is might happen even though it is not possible at the moment.
- The settings are set very creatively for example other worlds in space might be created to show that it is beyond our imagination
- The storyline most of the time includes war between alien species and the human species this is done so that the audience get into it and question "what if this happens in the future" the more question the audinece has about the film more likely they are going to watch it.
- robborts and technolody is usually more advanced in sci-fi films for example roberts will do larger tasks for us and flying cars, anything that is not imagined in this era.
Issues and main focuses on sci-fi films
