BBFC and Paramount Pictures

The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) was set up in 1912 and has classed cinema films since then and DVDs and Games since 1984. Although they class films the local council can overrule them on anything. The BBFC is a 'Not for Profit' organisation which only charges the company on its costs and has never received subsidies from the government or the film industry. why do they do it? protect  the public, and especially children, from content which might raise harm risks, empower the public, especially parents, to make informed viewing choices. Funnily Monty Pythons: Life of Brian is banned in quite a lot of countries due to it non religious content. In Malaysia all of the Monty Python sketches are banned. The only films banned in the UK still are c**ksucker blues, Mikey and Grotesque, i believe that the human centipede 2 ban has been lifted after making 32 cuts.


Paramount Pictures is owned by Viacom who also own nickelodeon and MTV and MTV films, viacom has owned paramount since 1994. Viacom has 170 media networks reaching more than 600 million global subscribers and more than 500 branded digital media properties. 

Momento

This screen shot show Lenny with all of his tattoos,  the connotation of tattoos are middle class people however these tattoos are different as they hold messages as he has a memory condition. The shot is in black and white when the camera goes back to this shot when he is talking on the phone to someone is when he still has his memory. Lenny looks like an ordinary person in an ordinary hotel room. this shot follows the golden mean and the rule of thirds as his body and tattoos are in the center of the frame. If you can read the tattoos you will notice they are all about this one guy who raped and murdered Lenny's wife and the messages contain little bits of information to help track him down. as you can see by the shot Lenny is a physically fit person who works out, this is very useful in being a detective as you may need to run to catch a criminal or have stamina for a fight.


Memento as a films


Memento is a physiological thriller which affects the brain although it is not a really bad thriller like saw it is more on an action thriller with a very confusing story line as it is not in linear order it is difficult to follow but can be followed if you watched it several times. it is a very unconventual films as it runs not in chronological order if anything it runs backwards. in the first clip the music is very meloncolli and odd the writing blue on black is also unconventual, in the first clip you see the blood running down the walls this is the first sign on a physiological thriller. the audience are all the time enguaged as they want to know what has happened as there isn't a basic story line.
