CONSTRUCTION: MERCHANDISE

 We thought that it was important to have a well-rounded advertising for our production. Merchandising with T-shirts and mugs allows us to entice different demographics as all ages appreciate a mug or a t-shirt. Our most significant elements of our production, that are visually appealing were the mansion (scenery) and the painting (colourful) as well as the four criminals. We later decided to use bags as merchandise too as we felt that they were useful and durable items that promote environmental friendliness as well as being commonly used by young-adults (our main target audience). Next we created paint with our key images on, as well as note pads and pens. This is very relevant to our film as it surrounds a painting being stolen. These were the final products. We have posted about them on our social media (mine is Facebook) to advertise them for the audience. Merchandising is important which is another form of brand cohesiveness. Global conglomerates such as Marvel use toy merchandising on their website to entice their younger audiences. We did this, similarly, as mugs and t-shirts are relatively universally used items which would attract a wide range of people.

PLANNING: BBFC CERTIFICATE

Dodging a Bullet's BBFC certificate:

Films have to be classified through the process of classification which gives it an age rating and context or advice to the film viewers. This process is to protect children and vulnerable audiences from content that might distress them. The BBFC publish guidelines which show the conventions for each rating. 

We researched the guidlines from the BBFC's website. We decided that out film would fit into the age bracket 15 best as it includes some harsh language. Jess used Powerpoint to 'photoshop' a template of a BBFC poster to alter it to fit our film. 

 

PLANNING: RISK ASSESMENT

During the construction phase, it was important to take into account the various risks we might have come across. Risks could be caused by factors such as transport, weather, hazards on set, general public as well as any major public incidents that would effect our filming. In order to anticipate this and put in place control measures to reduce any risks, we laid out all the potential risks we might have faced. 

• Hazard to Health and Safety
• Risk posed and to whom
• Risk Level (H/M/L)
• Control measure to reduce risk
• Further action needed to reduce risk

Transport: All our footage was taken at school and so there was no need to transport anywhere

Weather: On the 26th, it rained, the outside floor became slippery, there was a danger of getting clothing wet and becoming too cold. Wet camera when filming outside, we were unable to use the tripod, as it was raining. Students bring appropriate clothing suitable for all weather and be cautious when walking on slippery surfaces.

First Aid Issues: Trips/Falls – could trip over in darkened rooms. Possibility of tripping when running. Accidents when performing mild stunts e.g. falling down stairs, jumping out windows. Carry a first aid kit at all times, aim to have a first-aider on stand-by, close car doors carefully, identify areas of danger.

General Public (e.g. theft or assault): Low risk of potential assault or kind of incident as we are filming on school premises. Students causing incident with member of public. Students stay in groups when in public spaces (with mobile phones), do not approach members of public or respond to provoking comments, students to remain in supervised conditions, do not film late at night, follow guidance of emergency personnel.

Accommodation (e.g. risk assessment from centre): No overnight accommodation so n/a

Major Public Incident (e.g. terrorism): Not applicable as there is minor chance of a terrorist attack in a school. In the case of one: Ensure venue has assembly point and pupils know where it is, as well as giving pupils assembly points whilst on public transport. Ensure pupils know the national advice to run if possible and hide if not. Ensure pupils know to always follow police instruction. Issue pupils with printed emergency contact card detailing school landline and school mobile – instruct them to call if they become lost (as well as alerting security official). Ensure trip leader has a school mobile and also contact details for both the school and all pupils + families
