Key features to be highlighted in the documentary:
- Journey so far
- Playing for Histon
- Achievements
- Future Goals
- Travelling
- His mum's opinion
Themes & Concept: The theme is sport and ambitions as it is about Luke's journey so far in football. Its about his ambitions and what his aspirations are for the future and how he's going to achieve these. This is the career that Luke wants to get into, so it's a case of how he's going to do it and the risks he's going to take to try and achieve this. Considering he is going to America to help his portfolio in football, it'll show his mums opinion and how she feels about him going, potentially being emotional. it mainly shows what he's willing to do just to fulfil his dream and he has a huge passion for football.
Target Audience: The target audience is football fans of similar age to Luke (18) who are in the same position. Both male and females who want to have a long career in football and have a dream similar to Luke, it'll help with inspiration and gibe them a feeling of what steps you could potentially take to achieve the dream. A similar documentary is Trying to Make It (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__HxO2j3c2A) which is about Emmanuel Oyeleke and whether he will make it professional or not, this is similar to Luke as it's a case of it needing to be continued for whether or not he made it or not. It will be put onto youtube for the public to watch for inspiration and potentially to film festivals as well.

Rough Cut & Peer Feedback (Unit 41)
Rough Cut
Feedback
- Interviews with his mum are too long, need to be shorter as audience will get bored.
- Needs more cutaways to fill the interviews as there is too much of Luke - Also need to be relevant to what is being spoke about.
- Could do with montages of him playing football, with a soundtrack behind it, to break up the interviews.
- Images of his dad would be useful, show the audience who it is he is talking about/looking up too.
- Runs really smoothly.

BBFC Research (Unit 41)
.jpg&container=blogger&gadget=a&rewriteMime=image%2F*){kind=logo}
The BBFC is a non-profitable organisation, the fee's they have only accommodate to cover its cost. It doesn't receive subsidies from the government nor the film industry, this is to ensure they keep their independence. The BFFC's income comes only from the amount they charge for its services, they calculated this by measuring the running time of films submitted for classification. They will consult the Department of Culture, Media and Sport before they make any short of changes to the fees.
- Universal, meaning it is suitable for all ages.
- Parental Guidance, suitable for all ages however some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. It could contain mild sex/drugs reference or violence so parents should check before they allow their children to watch.
- 12A, This is only used in cinema. It means it is considered to be unsuitable for very young children. Children under the age of 12 are allowed to see the film is accompanied by an adult who must be over the age of 18. These films often include soft drugs, discrimination, strong language, moderate violence, nudity, sexual references.
- 12, This means the film is suitable for children aged 12 years and over and not to be seen by another below the age. It includes the same guidelines as 12A certificate. It is illegal for anyone to rent or sell a 12-rated film etc. to anyone underage.
- 15, Not suitable to anyone below the age of 15 years. It is illegal for anyone to sell/rent a film or supply a cinema ticket for a film etc. to anyone under the age. These films tend to contain hard drugs, foul language, strong violence, sex reference, nudity but not graphic. Sexual activity can be portrayed but not with strong detail as well as sexual violence may be shown but is discreet and justified by context.
18, Films with this rating are suitable for only 18 year olds and over. It is illegal for anyone to sell/rent a film etc. or cinema ticket to anyone under the age. These films have no limitation to foul language used, hard drugs are allowed, explicit sex reference with detail, scene ors strong real sex may be permitted. Strong, gory violence and sexual violence is permitted unless it excessively graphic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_British_film_certificates - This shows the changes in the classifications over time.
Coraline
In the guidelines for BBFC it states that the PG classifications could contains some scary moments and Coraline has a 'general air' of eeriness and spookiness. They allow some elements of 'horror' but it must meet the criteria, the frightening sequences can't be intense, which in Coraline they aren't. The film includes elements which reduce the intensity of the supposedly frightening scenes as they contain a bit of comedy and silly songs and dancing. The examiner didn't feel like U was suitable as they had elements which scares come from people/places that children should feel safe too i.e. homes and parents. Coraline is in the fantasy film category which fits the child audience as of the fairy tales.
