for our film we wanted our main target audience to be between the ages of 15-24 as we thought this was the ideal ages of people who would go to the cinema to watch a horror film, therefore we had to choose to make our film rated 15 or rated 18, we looked at both the advantages and disadvantages of both and we came to the concultion we wanted to make ours a 15.



making our film a 15 this meant we was aloud to get away with a lot of things however their was certain things we could not add into our opening scene and title sequence that an 18 could. The rules of making your film a 15 is that you are not aloud large amounts of graphic violence however you are aloud minimal violence in the film which ours has on the teddy bear. You are also not aloud huge amounts of bad language use in your film you can use some words that do not offend others however some words and large uses of words will not be aloud, we decided to not have any bad language in our opening scene or title sequence. We was thinking about making our film rated 18 however this would have been harder to stick to the guidelines and would not appeal to the target audience we wanted to aim at.
