Target Audience

We decided to do our film based on a crime scene. Therefore it fits into the genre of crime/mystery. Our main target Audience was aimed at 12+. Our film is classified as a certificate 12 as it does contain infrequent scary scenes, sustained moderate threat. This type of film is suitable for the likings of both genders, as everyone prefers this genre. Audiences of both genders would be interested in this film as the music choice is suitable; there are good shot types and the characters. The location was a difficult choice to think about as we had researched on other films and seen many scary scenes are located in a building. Hence why, we have chosen that our film should be located in the interior of the building.

Moreover when researching on audiences age we had looked at the age groups that are set for films. Firstly, based on the genre of our film we needed to know what is acceptable for each groups therefore we looked at;

PG – “Parental Guidance – these types of film should only be suitable for children that are aged eight or above. (I think our film isn’t really suitable for eight years old as it does contain scary scenes)

This is only suitable for 12 years and over. It does contain disturbing scenes. Those who are younger than 12, they are only allowed to see 12a film is they are accompanied by an Adult. (I think ‘12A’ film is suitable to our genre of our film as it does contain scary scenes)

15 – Anyone under 15 years are not allowed to see ‘15’ film in cinema
