13. Screening and distribution
■ The short film will be released onYouTube because it is a great video-sharing platform
to get work out there and will encourage more people who use social media to watch
it. If it was to be released on DVD it would be certified as a 12 because of the moderate
threat sequences as the film goes on, when the tension increases. However,
because of the plot twist at the end which isn’t so threatening it can stay as a 12
instead of a higher certificate rating.

■ The target audience for the film will be teenagers from 12 – 18 because they will be
able to relate to the film and grow relationships with characters over the short
time because not only is it set in a school for some of the film but also, they would
have most likely had a school crush before.The gender would be both male and
female because they both need to be educated on the prevention of male
inappropriate behaviour towards females..The socio-economic group will be group E
because they’re young people.
