Director Title

This will be the director title for the movie and will be a generic title sequence for each title, this will show continuity for the title sequence and also this will make the movie look much more professional, this is because i am not using outrageous coloring and over the top effects, and then has a subtle look.
Plus i have a slight effect where the writing ghosts into the composition so that it attracts the attention of the viewer.


Vertigo Films is my production company

I researched about my production company and after much research i decided to use Vertigo Films as my production company.

Our Title Intro




Designing my title on after effects cs4

I have obtained pre keyed footage, from a free stock footage website and have used smoke to add an effect to my opening title for the movie, I have used different types of inputs such as text and effects and imported footage, and also lighting that i have implemented into the title.











This might be the final result for our movie opening title, as you can see i have added masks to show red on 3 of the letters, the next stage is to introduce audio into the sequence.

BBFC Guidelines


It is important that the BBFC’s classification standards are in line with what the public expects and that its decisions take account of what the public finds acceptable at each age category.
Therefore every 4-5 years, the BBFC carries out a major public consultation exercise to find out what the public thinks about the age rating of films and videos before they are released and whether the BBFC’s classification standards meet public concerns.
The BBFC adjusts its standards and criteria in response to any changes in public attitudes.
These standards are laid out in the BBFC’s Classification Guidelines which can be downloaded below. The Guidelines detail what is acceptable at each age category, from U to R18. They also set out the laws and principles which impact on the BBFC’s work.
There are two key principles which guide us when we apply the Guidelines:
  • First, films and videos should be allowed to reach the widest audience appropriate for their theme and treatment.
  • Second, adults should be free to choose what they see, provided it remains within the law and is not potentially harmful

BBFC Clasifications

In order to protect children from unsuitable and even harmful content in films and videos and to give consumers information they might need about a particular film or video before deciding whether or not to view it, the BBFC examines and age rates films and videos before they are released. This independent scrutiny prior to release ensures the highest possible level of protection and empowerment.

Typically, two examiners view a film for theatrical release. In most cases a Senior Examiner will confirm the examiners’ recommendation. But if the Examiners are in any doubt or fail to agree, or if important policy issues are involved, the work may be seen by other members of the Board up to, and including, the Director and Presidential team. Occasionally we need to take specialist advice about the legal acceptability of film content or its potential for harm.

What Does U Mean?
The U symbol stands for Universal. A U film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over. However, it is impossible to predict what might upset a particular child, especially at this lower end of the category range.

What Does PG Mean?
PG stands for Parental Guidance. This means a film is suitable for general viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for younger children. A PG film should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. Parents should consider whether the content might upset younger or more sensitive children.

What Does 12A Mean?
12A means that anyone aged 12 or over can go and see the film unaccompanied. The A stands for 'accompanied' and 'advisory'. Children younger than 12 may see the film if they are accompanied by an adult 

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 DVD.  15 rated works are not suitable for children under 15 years of age.

What Does The 18 Symbol Mean?
Films rated 18 are for adults. No-one under 18 is allowed to see an 18 film at the cinema or buy/rent an 18 rated DVD. No 18 rated works are suitable for children.

What Does R18 Mean?
The ‘R18’ category is a special and legally restricted classification primarily for explicit works of consenting sex or strong fetish material involving adults. Films may only be shown to adults in specially licensed cinemas, and video works may be supplied to adults only in licensed sex shops. ‘R18’ videos may not be supplied by mail order.
