Can horror films be passed 12 or 12A?
Yes, some horror films are passed at this category. Moderate physical and psychological threat is permitted at 12 or 12A as long as horror sequences are not too frequent or sustained and the overall tone is not disturbing.
What about other issues like imitable behaviour or drugs at 12A or 12?
Dangerous behaviour (for example hanging and suicide) may be present in 12A or 12 works but will not dwell on detail which could be copied or present those activities in a manner that children are likely to copy.
Anti-social behaviour should not be endorsed.
There may be infrequent sight of drugs misuse in a 12A or a 12 but the portrayal should not be glamorised or provide instructional detail.
Conclusion: I highlighted two of those paragraphs on film regulation as my film will most probably be registered as a 12A for the reasons that it may contain mild drug usagae but does not promote or glamourise the usgage - if anything it is foreshadowed. Also, horrors are quite similar to Thrillers in several aspects ( tense non-digetic music, extreme surprise, etc.) The guidlines of a 12A film states Horrors can be regulated this certificate if it has mild violence and infrequent Horror/Thriller sequences which applies to my short film as it only has one mild violent scene.

Unit 2.1 research
ReplyDeletePass "P1
You have conducted research for the proposal and been able to select and review relevant information from different sources such as articles and YouTube videos. Information has been selected from these sources with some attention to its suitability and relevance to the work being undertaken. "
There are comments on the research and a Log of sorts - even though not presented in the typical fashion
Incomplete research to cover the requirements of the proposal fully (IE news articles etc, stats on viewing figures, guaranteeing an audience etc).
You had 6 weeks and you collected 4 articles? This means the variety of info sources is minimal not varied required for M, and the level of detail n how it effects your idea is also limited
