Tag Line

Tag Line

We decided against including a tag line in our promotional package for 'These Hands, If Not Gods'. Tag lines are most often added to films that incorporate comedy or action, neither of which are relevant to our film. Social realism films do not have tag lines as they do not fit with the culturally significant narratives of the genre.We made this decision as we felt it was not appropriate due to the socially sensitive issues that our film covers.

First Draft

This is the first drat for our trailer 'Theses Hands, If Not Gods'. From audience feedback, we have received many helpful comments to improve our trailer. A recurring aspect that was mentioned was the opening of the trailer. Some felt that it was too long for a trailer and shot cut straight to the protagonist going int the party. We agree with this and we will look into cutting down this section to make it more appropriate for a trailer.

Another comment that was made was the shot types that we have used. There are quite a few mid shots and some peopled suggested adding in some more different shots. To improve on this comment we will look into adding a larger variety of shots for example, more close up shots.

BBFC Rating

BBFC Rating

We have decided, according to the standards of the BBFC, to give our film a age rating of 15. Although our trailer does not imply drug use, sex or nudity and does not show any strong language, we decided in order to create a realistic film from our trailer it would have to include or at least imply some of these things. The age of our main characters is 18 years old so it is expected that they would use strong language and at least make references to sex. Without this it would not be an accurate representation of our characters and what they encompass. Our film deals with the issue of sexuality so it is likely there will be "strong verbal references to sexual behaviour". If there was not this, we would not be portraying sexuality in the way we wish to.
