Our film certificate is age 15 so I asked a member of our target audience a few questions to find out whether I thought they would watch our film or not.
Name: Sophie Warren
Age: 17
About me: I am in sixth form
studying PE, psychology and media studies. I enjoy going to the theatre but I
also like to watch new and independent films that other people may not even
take notice of. I love series dramas on TV. Sherlock was one of my favourites
as it follows how his mind works through solving things. I personally love any
music as I don’t like to confine myself to one genre or artist.
Preferred genre of film:
Psychological Thriller/Thriller/Horror
Where would you go to see an
amateur psychological thriller film? I would go to a film festival most likely
as I would then be able to see various new films. This would allow me to find
out if there were any particular films that I would not otherwise have seen if
I was only to watch those which are out in the cinema. I like watching films
other people may have not seen or that may not be as well-known because they
are no expectations for them so I can have my own opinion without it being abused.
Sophie Warren would watch our
film as it is one of her preferred genres of film. We would target our film to
be shown at film festivals which is where she would go to watch a film alike
ours. She also fits into our target audience so she would be a perfect viewer
for our film.
The age rating film certificate we gave to this film is age 15. " Nobody younger than 15 can rent or buy a 15-rated VHS, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD or game, or watch a film in the cinema with this rating. Films under this category can contain adult themes, hard drugs, frequent strong language and limited use of very strong language, strong violence and strong sex references, and nudity without graphic detail. Sexual activity may be portrayed but without any strong detail. Sexual violence may be shown if discreet and justified by context." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Board_of_Film_Classification
This allows us to have content which may not be appropriate for those below 15 years of age but is not too violent or offputting that we have to give it an aged 18 certificate. We wanted our film to be viewable to people as young as possible without having to let the film suffer as it didnt have the content it 'should' due to it being innapropriate therefore we set our film rating at age 15.
