'Back to the Future' Storyboarding Lesson.
In this lesson we studied the opening sequence of 'Back to the Future' and were expected to take notes on the shot types, sound and character movement. We were then told to take what we had just noted, and create our own 'Back to the Future' storyboard. In this storyboard we included all the main features of what would be on screen if we were making the film, we included clocks, photographs, the bed, the inventions and the television. We accompanied the images with brief notations, giving additional information about the scene which wasn't included in the picture. The idea of a story board is to pre-visualize a motion picture before any filming has taken place.
BBFC Session Evaluation.
Within our BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) lesson we learnt what you are and are not allowed to include in U and PG films. As they are intended for children there are strict rules on sex, alcohol and references to narcotics. The rules for a PG are looser than U but they're still very limited to what content they can include, in a PG references to narcotics must carry a strict anti-drug message similarly sexual activity can be implied but not shown. These concepts are vital for our work as we now know what we can and can't use in our children's film.

Casper the friendly ghosts was a childrens cartoon that recently celebrated it's 60th anniversary. Created by Seymour Reit in 1939 it continued to be a childrens favorite.
