Evaluation: Question 4
Who Would Be The Audience for your Media Product?
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) catagorises a film into an age rating depended on who the film is suitable. But what are these ratings?
U - Infrequent use if very mild language
Little to no sexual behaviour or references
PG - Contains mild language, violence and sex references.
12A - Any child under 12 can watch when accompanied by an adult. Brief sexual activity, moderate language and mild drug use.
12 - Same content as 12A but is often given to DVD/Blu-Ray releases.
15 - Frequent strong language, prolonged & detailed sexual activity and hard drug use.
18 - Very Strong bloody & gory violence, strong detailed REAL sex, strong sexual violence and very strong language.
Examples
Gone Girl (2014)- 18: Strong Bloody Violence and Very Strong Language
V for Vendetta (2005) - 15: Strong Violence and Strong Language
The Dark Knight (2008) - 12: Strong Fantasy Violence and Sustained Threat
Our Film Rating
After posting a questionnaire that was answered by mainly 15 to 24 year old people, I have decided to rate my film 15 as this is the age minimum age rating that the desired viewers would be able to watch it. By giving it this rating, I would be able to include more mature themes within the films, which is a great advantage as many conventional thriller films are give. the rating of 15. This is suitable because I will include strong language, violence and most likely drug use. However, I will not include sexual activities as most of the characters are young which may cause controversy among the film watching community. I feel that giving it the rating 12 would mean that I would not be able to include as much mature content but I do not intend to include so much mature content that it would require an 18 rating.
