We went on a Media trip to London and visited The Film Museum; this helped me understand how a lot of things are featured in films and how things are represented. Also how special effects and things such as dead bodies are shown. The horror room really helped with this and rooms such as the Harry Potter room also helped. A lot of costumes that have been featured in films were there and a lot of props which was very interesting. It showed me how certain looks were achieved and how things are made to stand out.
We also visited the BBFC which was very interesting and helpful as it gave me an idea as to how films are certified and regulated. This helped because my group and I were struggling with how to rate out trailer as we didn't know what aspects were given each a rating and how they were certified. For example, we were shown two clips from 'The Hunger Games', one was rated a 15 and the other a 12. The only difference between the clips was a few splatters of blood, so it showed how such small features and aspects could drastically change the rating of a film, therefore we now know what we can and can't include in our trailer for it to be suitable for the 15 rating that we have chosen.
