Classification (15)
’15′
Suitable only for 15 years and over
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.
Discrimination
The work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour.
Drugs
Drug taking may be shown but the film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse. The misuse of easily accessible and highly dangerous substances (for example, aerosols or solvents) is unlikely to be acceptable.
Horror
Strong threat and menace are permitted unless sadistic or sexualised.
Imitable behaviour
Dangerous behaviour (for example, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on detail which could be copied. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised.
Language
There may be frequent use of strong language . The strongest terms may be acceptable if justified by the context. Aggressive or repeated use of the strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable.
Nudity
Nudity may be allowed in a sexual context but without strong detail. There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context.
Sex
Sexual activity may be portrayed without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour, but the strongest references are unlikely to be acceptable unless justified by context. Works whose primary purpose is sexual arousal or stimulation are unlikely to be acceptable.
Theme
No theme is prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate for 15 year olds.
Violence
Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic or sexualised violence is also unlikely to be acceptable. There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence but any portrayal of sexual violence must be discreet and have a strong contextual justification.
Watching these film openings from artofthetitle.com has given me a good idea of how we could do our opening titles. They have shown me that the title of the film doesnt have to go at the beggining and also it gave me an idea of the relevent information needed to be given at the beggining of a film and the difference between the opening titles and the credits at the end.

In this lesson our pitch was accepted and we started planning our story board, we are nearly finished it and next lesson we may go out and take pictures of some locations that may be good for our opening to a teen horror.
Opening Ideas
Opening Idea 1.
Two teenage girls called Victoria and Sarah are walking home from a friends house, and take a shortcut through a nearby alleyway. Sarah stops to tie her shoelaces and Victoria goes on ahead on her mobile phone. She then notices that Sarah isn't there anymore and thinks she's just messing around. She walks further back into the alley and discovers Sarahs dead body, before she registers this, a voice comes out of the shadows and says 'Your Next'. Victoria then tries to run back towards her friends house but someone grabs her from behind and stabs her.
Opening Idea 2.
A teenage girl is taking a walk through the woods to go meet her friends for a camp out. As she walks through a number of strange things start to occur on her walk. She hears noices and thinks its her friends messing around but as she walks on her friends dont seem to be at the place where they are going to meet. She tries calling them put theres no answer so she carries on walking incase they're on their way. As she turns the corner of the pathway she spots a trail of blood, she then decides to follow it. The teenage girl is then suprised at what she finds at the end of the trail, a dead body.
For our opening we have decided to choose opening 1 as we think this links more into the plot of our teen horror film. We now have ideas of who to cast and different locations we could use.
