What do you personally feel is a suitable age range for a Crime/Thriller?

A - PG
B - 12A
C - 15
D - 18

In a Crime Thriller do you want the Killers face to be concealed (this way finding out at the same time as the detective) or visible to the audience

Results from the questionnaire published online on my own blog (as shown at the bottom of the page in which 14 people voted shows that people want...
The Film to be a 15 winning by 42% of votes.
The Murderer's face will be concealed winning by 64% of votes.
viewers wish to see blood within the film winning by 85% of votes.
Filming with be a mix between hand held and steady cam as it was an even 50% on both votes.
lighting will be weak winning by 50%  of votes , but with budget being somewhat nearly nothing we will have to go with natural.

Weather Check


First day of Filming - Tuesday 1st March

Checked on Sunday 27th Febuary
Show's that it will be a good day of filming though if there is wind and sunny spells we are going to have to choose our moments, as we don't want to have a clip where it is very windy and then next is suddenly calm or having an extremely bright shot and then the next being dramatically darker, though lighting isn't a completely essential thing as we can change the lighting levels when editing.
