3. What we did to find the correct age
rating
For our media production film we needed to create a thriller which needed to stick
to the codes and conventions of a thriller film. This would also then mean we
needed to stick to the age rating of the thriller film. But to find the correct age
rating for our film we needed to send out a questionnaire.
Questionnaire
We sent out a questionnaire to multiple people which then would allow us to get
the correct age rating while, giving us people opinion on what the film could be.
4. Under 12
Under 12 is a age rating that is not suited for this film because there is
some content that could frighten the under 12 category which will then
mean it is not suitable for these types of viewers.
If the film come out then the content cant be suitable for viewers under
this age because it will be getting bad ratings because we will be freighting
the viewers which means we will lose money and not have a chance to
make profit. As well as this, the ratings could sue as a business.
5. 12 and 12a
This age was one of the ages the film could have been because there is
multiple scenes could have been suitable for this age rating but then some
of the other scenes are to old for this age rating, even if you are with and
adult.
Another reason we did not chose this age rating is the questionnaire
results didn’t agree with it being this age rating because they said some of
the content should not be shown to people of this age. This then showed
us people point of view and what they think we should do, and what age
rating we should chose for the film.
6. 15
15 is the age rating we used for our film because that was the most
successful result from the questionnaire results.
The age 15 was chose for our film because the content was to bad that
would have forced to be an 18 but it was still very bad not to be a 12 or a
12a.
Another reason was we were sticking to the codes and conventions of our
thriller film which would then mean we need to stick to what they say and
the information the thriller film must include.
The final reason we made our film a 15 because we would be able to get a
wide range of people coming to see the film in the cinema because it is
not an 18.
7. 18 and above
This age rating was the second most popular age rating when it come to
the questionnaires because some of the film can be classed as to violent.
Although there is a some content that can be classed as a very young film.
Another reason we did not chose to put the film is an 18 and above is that
you will be narrowing the client pull to a very small amount of people,
when compared to having it as 15. Also a thriller film is something that
suggests criminal activity. When compared to a 18 which shows the part of
the criminal activity which our film does not contain them parts.
