5. TARGET AUDIENCE
• 12 YEARS A SLAVE (15)- THE FILM WAS MOST LIKELY MADE FOR A GENERAL AUDIENCE. AS IT CONTAINS
GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND INCLUDE RAPE SCENES, AND THE EXTENDED HANGING SCENE, SOME PARENTS
WOULD WANT TO KEEP YOUNGER CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE MOVIE, BUT THERE'S ALSO AN ARGUMENT
THAT IT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO SEE THE REALITY OF THE HORRORS OF SUCH IMPORTANT
HISTORICAL STORIES, SO I IMAGINE OPINIONS VARIED ON THAT POINT. HOWEVER THE FILM IS RATED 15
SO IN THE AUDIENCE ABLE TO WATCH IN THE CINEMA HAD BE ABOVE 15.

6. TARGET AUDIENCE
• AMERICAN HONEY (15) - THE FILM TITLE INFORMS US THAT THE MOVIE IS SET IN AMERICA WHICH WOULD
ATTRACT PATRIOTS OF THE COUNTRY AS THEY WOULD BE DRAWN TO THE COLOURS RED, WHITE AND
BLUE, THIS WOULD ALSO APPEAL TO PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO VISIT OR ARE A TOURIST IN AMERICA
MEANING IT WOULD REACH A WIDE RANGE OF PEOPLE. FROM THE FRONT COVER, WE CAN INSTANTLY TELL
THAT THE MAIN ACTRESS HAS A LACK OF PARENTAL GUIDANCE AS HER TOP IS FLYING IN THE WIND AND
HAS ONE HAND UP WHICH COULD SYMBOLIZE FREEDOM.
