Planning For Storyboard


character costumes

Assassin. With this costume the audience will learn about how the assassin likes to go about his work. For example the darkness of the clothing will suggest that he wants to blend in and not want be noticed by the authorities while doing his work.

 Hacker. With this costume it will suggest to the audience that he does most of his work at home. The hood will suggest to the audience that he is paranoid as he feels the need to have his hood on as he does his work to hide himself although he is in his by himself.
Cop.  This costume will suggest to audience that he is a professional and that he has been doing this job for a long time. For example the coat gives of a professional look and displays to the audience that he is intact a detective.

BBFC Movie Rating research

U:Universal, suitable for all.
PG:All ages admitted, but Parental Guidance is recommended. It is the board's policy that movies rated "PG" should not disturb a child of about 8 years of age or older; however, "parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset young or more sensitive children."
12:No one under 12 years of age may see a "12" film or rent or buy a "12" video.
15:No one under 15 years of age may see a "15" film or rent or buy a "15" video.
18:Suitable only for adults. No one under 18 years of age may see an "18" film or rent or buy an "18" video.
R18:To be supplied only in licensed sex shops to adults of not less than 18 years of age.


Our film would most likely fit under the 15 age bracket as it is aimed toward the late teen age group. Also with the violent nature of our plot it would not be suitable for preteens or children meaning it cannot be a 12, PG or U. Even though our opening sequence will most likely not have any scenes of a sexual nature which is why I don't think we would be put into a 18 or R18 age bracket. Also another reason why we wouldn't be rated in the lower age ratings is because there might be a fair amount of foul language in our opening sequence which would also keep our opening sequence in the 15 bracket.
