Set Photos Part Two !

The sheer amount of photos taken by Tasha gives me the ability to write allot about the Pluckley and the surrounding area. Enough to fill up two, maybe even three blogs worth of pictures.

This is a great picture allowing the viewer to really get a feel of how large, as well as old the church yard is.

This is the view from inside the walkway which the characters passed through towards the end of the film . It also made a convenient place for us to store our equipment when we weren't filming. Multi purpose !

Another picture showing how creepy the pluckley church yard can be when filmed/ photographed effectively.

Set Photos !

Before the initial filming of  'Isolation'  Tasha took numerous photos from around Pluckley so that we could get a feel for what the village looked like, as well as what locations would make good shots for the film.

After seeing the above photo of the Grave yard and Church it was clear that this was a location we had to film  at. The deteriorating tombstones as well as the eery mist made it hard for this location not too be in the film. This is where the 4 characters walk through whilst the monster is watching them. To the top right corner of the photo is the walkway which the characters pass through just before the end.

This photo is the grassy area the teenagers walk through after passing through the graveyard. Due to the almost crop circle look to the area this shot is area could have been one revisited as the film would carry  on. It is an area that only features for a short amount of time in the film but it could be a symbol seen multiple times through out the film. Perhaps at times of great distress or during supernatural happenings. Used as a recuring motif throughout the film.

Costumes !

The costumes are based around similar clothing seen in other popular "teenage horrors". Such as Halloween , Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Hatchet. Whenever you see a teenager being chased through a forest by a chainsaw wielding maniac they are never appropriately dressed for the task. They are always wearing their favourite jeans, shoes and t-shirt. They're never dressed warmly enough and never have the right equipment.

This is why the characters are wearing their casual clothes, and not properly dressed for camping in autumn, as well as the fact they aren't carrying camping equipment,

How everyone victim in horror films seems to dress.

The guy that they are running from.

My films rating

Due to my film being a horror film , I believe the full production of the film would be rated as a 15. It would not have enough violence or gore for it to be rated 18 and would have limited actual imagery of any monsters, because I believe that with horror films, less can often be more in terms of scares. It would most likely have swearing of a certain nature when the characters are 'freaking out' they could express their fear through swearing.

Film Classification

 The British Board of Film Classification is used to rate films so that it is clear who the film's are aimed for as well as making sure the audience are not offended nor exposed to anything that they would deem inappropriate. It also make sure that people may only view a film in the cinema or buy a DVD unless they are the appropriate age.

"It is impossible to predict what might upset any particular child. But a ‘U’ film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over. ‘U’ films should be set within a positive moral framework and should offer reassuring counterbalances to any violence, threat or horror.
If a work is particularly suitable for a pre-school child to view alone, this will be indicated in the Consumer Advice."

"General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children.
Unaccompanied children of any age may watch. A ‘PG’ film should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. However, parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger or more sensitive children."

"Exactly the same criteria are used to classify works at ‘12A’ and ‘12’. These categories are awarded where the material is suitable, in general, only for those aged 12 and over. Works classified at these categories may upset children under 12 or contain material which many parents will find unsuitable for them.
The ‘12A’ category exists only for cinema films. No one younger than 12 may see a ‘12A’ film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult, and films classified ‘12A’ are not recommended for a child below 12. An adult may take a younger child if, in their judgement, the film is suitable for that particular child. In such circumstances, responsibility for allowing a child under 12 to view lies with the accompanying adult.
The ‘12’ category exists only for video works. No one younger than 12 may rent or buy a ‘12’ rated video work."

 "No-one younger than 15 may see a ‘15’ film in a cinema. No-one younger than 15 may rent or buy a ‘15’ rated video work."

 "No-one younger than 18 may see an ‘18’ film in a cinema. No-one younger than 18 may rent or buy an ‘18’ rated video work."
