Self evaluation.

I have looked at my work I have done in the last few weeks and I have evaluated myself on it. I looked at different levels that work could be on and I awarded myself a mark, then justified it - basically said why I think I got up or down to this or that level.

1. Complete (do we know who did what?)
I think I am at level three to four at this point. I have done quite a bit of detailed research and I have planned out my work. I have done the majority of the research that was assigned to my group out of all three of us and I think I have done well on this one.

2. Useful research and demonstrate learning or just copying?
I think I am at level three or four again at this stage. I have done a lot of detailed research into thriller, thriller sub-genres, iconic directors and other necessary research that I was asked to do for my group and myself. Since I have done the majority of research and it was quite detailed, and full research, I think I am right in between three and four as I could make some pieces stronger, more detailed and better written out.

3. Care/creativity in the Presentation.
I think I am at level 3 in this area of level criteria. I have tried to present my work in a creative way, however I could have done better. Using more video's and voice overs that I could have don with the thriller history or sub-genres of the thriller. However, I did use Power-point presentations, pictures, voice-overs and video's. I could've done more though, and present the research in a much better way to get to level 4.

4. Time Management.
I have tried my best to manage my time well and do at least 4 hours per week of independent work. However, I found it quite difficult and took me a lot of time and effort to complete my research and tasks I have been assigned but it was easier with the help of my group at times. I think I am at level 2 at the moment at the time management. However, I will try to catch up and manage my time a lot better in the coming up modules and at least hit the level 3 by the end of next module.

Film Classifications Research - Movie.

I've done a research regarding film classifications according to BBFC - British Board of Film Classification. I visited their website: www.bbfc.co.uk and used the information on there to create my research. I then used a movie maker and sound recorder to present my research in a creative way. Please watch the video below to hear my general research on different film classifications and read the text below to see the uses of film classifications in thriller genres.

Usually thriller films are classified 12A upwards. It does depend on the content of the thriller to decide whether it would be 12A/12, 15 or 18 rated. For example, if the content is more gory, intense and heavily psychological, it would be rated 15. However, if it is more drama/action or fantasy themed thriller than it would be 12A classified - however it depends on other factors affecting the classification as well, such as use of language, imagery, etc. Another example is if the film was erotic/very gory/adult-focused then it would most likely to be classified as 18- appropriate.
