Music

We want the ambient sound of the taxi because it is our unique advantage for our film and i think its important to emphasise that. However, we also wanted to create an eery tone to the opening without making it obvious. We all decided that classical music would work best to create this, after looking at different types we've all decided that Frank Sinatra- My Funny Valentine.
Due to copyright reasons we will have to find way to play the music without having any issues. We thought it would be perfect if the music would come from the radio of the taxi.

BBFC


I have researched which age would be the most suitable for our film using the BBFC website. Our group have decided that if the film was to be feature length there would be violent and sexual scenes containing strong language as the taxi driver is a psycho serial killer who rapes his victims.  I thought age 15 would be appropriate for the film as the things we would want to include such as sexual nudity and violence which is what we would want to include to fit the psychological thriller. However I also looked at age 12A as the lower the age restriction so it could appeal to a larger demographic. However, unfortunately, I think our film will be too explicit for this audience. Through my research i have found that age 12A have found that if the film was too be this age restriction violence and sexual scenes would have to be reduced and we want the film to be more explicit so its more scary and therefore would to be more appealing to an older audience. I think an age 18 restricts the demographic too much and by looking at what makes an 18 I don't think the film will be too that extent.  So after reading in detail the different categories i have decided to make the film an age 15 as this will allow us to make the film what we want as well as having a broad demographic.
