The opening 2 minutes of Greenstreet hooligans starts of with a build up by giving a process of walking to a train and having an unexpected encounter,this very influential because the clip shows what type of film you will watch by giving an insight of thugs in there normal day of life showing crime,disorder and violence in one short clip,this gives the viewer a chance to see what football hooliganism was like and the reasons for doing so and there overpowering confidence to confrontation by being like a band of brothers.The main genre of this film is action which is made clear to the viewer from the start and has sport as the focus of the film by integrating sport with action.The film has a lot of bad language and innuendos throughout suggesting the film is an 18 and not for children.

Our group which consists of me,Cory,Rachel,Ryan decided to take our music Pieces from free stock music.com as they have a rich selection of sinister sounding groups of music which can fit into our film perfectly from a free music site which can be viewed from clicking on the link above.The song we decided on was run and hide because as well as linking in to our film script and concept  in creates the right amount of suspense and beat timing that we need to portray our film in the right way to our audience.We do not require any other pieces of music as the convention to most horror film trailers is that it involves one steady beat throughout it to create a certain mood to the target audience in one whole trailer.

Action Film Codes And Conventions

                         Analysis of the first 2 minutes of the raiders of the lost ark

in the first 2 minutes of the film it starts of with an establishing shot of an exotic jungle to set the scene for the audience and sub plot of the film by giving a sense of adventure.Then the antagonist character Indiana Jones walks in front of the mid shot showing the audience who is the leader of the group.The directer then cuts to a discover slashing leaves to get to a barely made out relic symbol which instantly gives the audience a sense of fear because of the way the discoverer sprints away from the relic which could be a recognised warning,and as the group realises what he has run away in fear from,Indiana Jones (the main antagonist) shrugs of the warning by looking at it and turning away from it in the shrubbery.The directer then does a final impact shot where he has a close up on a arrow in a tree with the group walking timidly past the tree suggesting the realisation of what the group are walking into,this gives the audience the effect of death which the arrow represents,it could also represent that colonies have driven out or killed trespassers in the position the group are in the south American jungle.

Certificate research

Films rated 18 include extreme scenes of sex, violence and strong language. People under the age of 18 can't view these films even with parental guidance which is similar to the certificate rating of 15. Many films are rated 18 because of the explicit scenes of gore or sexual nature, an example of this would be Saw it includes a large amount of gore and disturbing scenes such as torture. I think the certificate rating of 18 could be suitable for our film however it will limit our audience as teenagers will not be able to view the film. For this reason we may chose to go with the certificate of 15 because our film will not be too gory or explicit for the teenage audience



 















A film rated 15 means that people under the age of 15 can't view the film. These films usually contains more gore, explicit language and sexual scenes. They are more serious and have a thicker plot line and are usually aimed at an adult audience, however some films have the explicit detail cut out in order to appeal to a wider audience. A great example of this is the film "Taken 2", the first film "Taken" was rated an 18 due to all explicit detail and swearing but then "Taken 2" was made to be a 15 to attract a wider range of audiences. The certificate 15 may suit our film because it will include an appropriate amount of gore and swearing to keep our audience interested.

















The certificate 12A means that an audience member can't see a film if they are aged below 12 unless they are accompanied by an adult member. These films are a huge step up from PG films as they include some blood and mild swearing, however they do tend to use one strong swear word in their films. They become more mature and the situations are a little more serious but still very mild. 12A films mainly target teenagers because they are old enough to see it, however they do sometimes make it appropriate for adults to encourage them to bring their children that are aged below 12. A great example of a film that uses the 12A certificate is James Bond; it includes a lot of action and serious scenes which appeals to all audiences. This could be an appropriate certificate for our film because our film may be based around the idea of James Bond, however we may include more mild content so it might not be the perfect certificate for us.















PG is the film classification that stands for parental guidance, meaning that people should not watch it without consent from their parents. PG films include some scenes such as non explicit nudity but not in a sexual way and are still aimed at a young audience, an example of this is the Simpsons movie which has a short scene of a naked boy. I don't think that this will be an appropriate certificate for our film because our film will be targeting an adult audience and a PG would not seem serious enough to them causing us to lose our audience.


















When a film is created is goes through a process know as film classification to decide who is suitable to watch it, this gives the audience an insight of what the film may contain because if it has blood and swearing then it could be rated at 15.The film classification U stands for universal and it means that it is suitable to all, this means that anyone can watch them. They are usually aimed at young children from babies and upwards. Most U rated films are animated and aimed at children 4-8, however some can target larger audiences such as toy story 3 and star wars. Most U rated films include adventures and not many scary scenes because they are aimed at families. I don't think that this certificate will be suitable for our film as our film will be more serious and aimed at an older audience
