Questions 3 and 4: 

Questions 2 and 5:

Feedback for Trial Exam - Digital Convergence

Mr Lane's Tips:

• Read the full question
• Remember to do your own research in addition
• Make sure your examples are relevant

Example 1: 

"Cameras purchased today are 99% of the time going to be digital, which can be very beneficial to movie companies as it means that the end movie/clips can be digitally rendered as a smaller video file making it easier and cheaper to get the movie out to more cinemas as it helps reduce the cost for the way it will be stored (on a USB rather than an external hard drive."

Problems:

• 99% is not a valid statistic, just another way in saying "majority"
• No use of word "Distribution" when talking about getting movies to cinemas

Practical Task - Certification Process

Based on the specifications from the British Board of Film Classification we came to the conclusion that an appropriate age rating for our movie would be not an 18 but instead a 15. The 18 age rating's requirements are very similar to the requirements of a 15 but to a much higher content  (very strong violence, frequent strong language e.g. 'f***' and / or very strong language e.g. ‘c***’, strong portrayals of sexual activity, scenes of sexual violence, strong horror, strong blood and gore, real sex (in some circumstances), discriminatory language and behaviour). Seeing as our one only contains a few of these factors (e.g. Violence, foul language) and to a low extent we thought that an age rating of 15 would perhaps be the most suitable.
