Imitable behavior, Sex, Violence, Nudity, Threat, Language, Drug and Discrimination determine what age a film is rated.



British Board of Film Classification

The British Board of Film Classification gives age ratings to films in Britain since 1912 I researched the organisation for my report. Britain has the following age ratings UM PG, 12/12A, 15 and 18. The organisation can and has banned films.

The American version is titled the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the Japanese is titled Eiga rinri linkai (Eirin).
Cleveland College of Art and Design Libary research

I looked at the following books Japanese Film, Film and Video Censorship in Modern Britain, THE HIDDEN CINEMA, Movies of the Thirties, History of the American Cinema GRAND DESIGN, Censored, Flesh and Blood and the Censorship Debate.

Film and Video Censorship in Modern Britain was the most helpful providing examples of imitable such as the Bulger and Capper murders in 1993, Information on the Hays code such as what films it affected and film banning.

Mind Movie
My idea is a gangster movie about this duo who both think they know best. They both break the fourth wall.
It opens on them eating a meal together like in reservoirs dogs acting like old friends and appearing like two good normal guys till they start discussing how they spend their days collecting protection money and the bad business of hurting people more than they have to.





Argument stops and one of them turns and talks 
directly to the audience like Frank Underwood   from House of Cards.









It plays out like the dinner scene in the Godfather both try to intimidate the other and disagree with everything the other says.





They get up and leave for their next job conversing casually to down play how they are vicious criminals.




Then it cuts to them in the bathroom washing blood of their hands. They argue over whether what happened was necessary.

Camera and Sound Op

For both camera and sound I knew I needed to be a team player and follow what both Dan and Lydia wanted for their Me Myself and I and not cloud their vision.Still however I wanted to do a good job so I made sure to hold the sound in the air when I did not have to so I was always aware of the pole and never let it slip into shot.

With the camera I practiced with my own camera at home to keep my hands steady and careful and my timing right. Martin Scorsese typically has excellent and intriguing camera work so I studied him in case I ever got a chase to do try something like his.
