2. Who would be the
audience for your
media product?

3. 15 Classification
‘No one under 15 is allowed to see a film at the cinema or buy/rent a
15 rated video. 15 rated works are not suitable for children under 15
years old’.
Requirements for a 15:
• Strong language is allowed, yet continuous/aggressive use may be rated
higher.
• Racism, homophobia and discrimination may be portrayed, yet it must not
endorse discriminatory language or behavior.
• Sexual activity can be shown, but without strong detail.
• Violence is accepted so long as it does not dwell on the infliction of pain or
injury or sadistic behavior.
• There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence, however any
portrayal must be discreet and justified.
• There can be high amounts of threat and horror.
• Drug taking is permitted, yet it must not promote or encourage drug misuse.

4. As the genre of our film is Horror, the minimum age restriction
for the film to be viewed to would be 15 year olds. The film
would not be screened as an 18 as there is no strongly explicit
content to sexual relations, drugs or violence.
The reason for the film having no dominant explicit content is
not for the age certificate rating, the purpose is for the viewers
imagination to take them to places worse than the film can
show, allowing for it to be more horrifying.
Our film is also suitable for both males and females, alongside
both adults and teenagers.

5. Horror films that are rated 15:
Se7en
Blair Witch Project
Jeepers Creepers - (this film contains explicit scenes
of violence, however its extremely unrealistic).
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Shaun Of The Dead
