For this blog post, the reason why it is all fire and smoke effects is because our final scene is a fireplace and so we thought as group that we should get fire effects for our typography.


 

This is a relevant effect for our thriller openings typography due to it being black, Smokey and just genuinely dark and sort of uncomfortable to look at, which would match with our thriller opening and follow the thriller genre.


 

This typography is relevant and a potential use for our thriller opening due to it being white and would be much clearer against a dark and black background.

 

This is a good art style that would be potentially useful and effective if we could convert it into text.

BBFC Research

The BBFC stands for the British Board Of Film Classification and is the UK's leading rating board and is government approved. They also rate other sources of media such as Music and Video Games since the 1984 media recording act. It is an independent, non-governmental body that was set up in 1912. It is a not-for-profit business that 

They have several stages of ratings in their classification system, spanning from U to 18. 

U for Universal is the lowest age rating that the BBFC offers and signifies that it is suitable for all audiences and contains no content that is likely to offend or harm people. Usually children's films and games are mostly covered in this rating level. 

PG stands for Parental Guidance and covers a wide area of films and other media.It is aimed at young children but is advised that parents watch it with them because some content or scenes could upset young or particularly sensitive children.  

12 is the first set up into the more violent films that the BBFC rates. It is only suitable for children aged 12 or over as some kinds of sensitive or offensive content such as violence, profanity, racial terms and sometimes sexual references are often present in films to achieve the 12 certificate. 

15 is the second to last rating level offered by the BBFC and is only suitable for people in at least their teens at 15 or above. This category is only given to films and other media if they have more controversial and mature content included. Amongst these are frequent profanity and strong language, sexual references and sometimes actual sex scenes, fairly strong to strong violence and racist and discriminatory terms. 

This is the final and highest rating level that the BBFC offers, and only covers the most mature and violent films and other media. A film or another piece of media with an 18 certificate usually strong bloody violence, strong sex and sexual references, very frequently strong language, sensitive topics i.e drug addictions and taking, and sometimes frequent racist and discriminatory terms.


For our thriller opening, if it was to be an actual film, I think it would be given an 18 certificate due to its dark themes and the would be frequent use of voilence and profnity.
