Certification problems
My film is a 15 but is suppose to have a U genre. This is where anyone can see it. Some films have this option but I have opted out due to these following reasons. Whilst researching film trailers and certifications, I came across the widely popular Spiderman and it's certification problems. Spiderman had a U trailer which took the interest of many children, but when the was released, it became a 12. This caused an up roar among parents who had children very disappointed that they couldn't see this film. The 12A age rating then came out which was available for anyone to see as long as parents were with the kids. The film was then reviewed as being too violent for children that young and shouldn't of marketed the film at children in the 1st place. Due to this reason, I have decided to change my trailer into a 15 as well so I don't disappoint underage teenagers or children who want to see this film. This will impact the views of my film, but hopefully there will be no aggro with the certification. It is now advertised to only people who are able to watch my film. Due to my trailer being a 15, I can now leave the partial bit of nudity in the trailer and it being ok around the guidelines. I may still blur his bum out for humour, but at the moment, It can stay if I wish.

Continuity problems in my Film Trailer
One of the things a professional said about my trailer was due to the filming on different days, the sky is dark and cloudy one minute, and then bright blue the next minute. As this was in the same scene It needed to be corrected. I waited until a sunny spell came to film the shot again, but I was still unhappy due to the mise en scene being different from the other shots. I decided to edit on Photoshop to see what I could come up with to help me solve this problem. I then used the black and white effect on one of the clips. I felt this complemented the fact that the boys are trying to become cool and to stop being nerdy. I felt it had a good impact due to binary opposite from Claude Levi-Straus' theory becoming more obvious. This is because the shots are normal up until they decide to become cool and then when they do, it turns black and white and is heavily edited. I preferred this to the re-filmed shot due to the binary opposite and this will defiantly be in my final cut.
