The document discusses British film classification and ratings. It explains the ratings system used by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) which ranges from U to 18. Films rated 12A, 12, 15 and 18 can contain increasing levels of violence, language, sexual content and other mature themes. The document then analyzes similar thriller films to determine that its own film sequence, which includes strong language, drug use, abuse and bloody violence, would merit a 15 rating in the UK. Feedback from teachers and classmates supported this rating. The filmmakers conducted audience research through a questionnaire to help target their 15-year-old audience.
The document discusses rating certificates for films and determining the appropriate rating for a thriller media product. Research found that over half of thriller films shown on the BBFB receive a 15 rating, allowing strong language, drug use, sexual references and violence. Feedback from questionnaires indicated that most respondents believed a 15 rating would be most suitable since the plot involving a kidnapped victim could emotionally affect younger viewers. Considering typical audiences for thriller films and the questionnaire feedback, the document concludes that a 15 rating is most appropriate for the media product.
The document summarizes research on movie audiences for different genres. It finds that cinema audiences overall are mostly males and females aged 15-24 who go most on Saturdays and Sundays. Horror movie audiences tend to be young adults aged 15-25 and adults 30+ who enjoy being scared. Audiences for supernatural horrors skew youngest at 15-25, while psychological horror audiences are more varied in age. Slasher film audiences are predominantly 18-25 year old males attracted to violence and gore over plot. Trailers help audiences decide which movies to see by providing a sense of what happens. The film The Sixth Sense successfully attracted its target demographic of 15-25 year old males and females.
The target audience for the media product is 15-20 year olds. A survey found that this age group enjoys the build-up of suspense in thriller films. The film receives a 15 age rating, allowing it to include blood and gore that makes it more interesting. Research confirmed this 15+ rating was appropriate. The typical audience member is a 17 year old male student who enjoys thriller films, books, and games and going to the cinema with friends.
We conducted surveys to determine the target audience for our short horror film. The surveys showed that teenagers aged 15-30 and both males and females like horror films equally and would enjoy watching our film. Younger children are easily scared by horror movies, and older audiences generally dislike the genre, so our target audience is people aged 15-30 of both genders.
The document summarizes research conducted on movie preferences by age and gender. It found that those under 16, especially boys, prefer comedies and action movies while girls that age also enjoy romances. Those aged 16-18 prefer action, adventure, thrillers and horrors. Adults aged 19-21 and over 30 most like thrillers, action, sci-fi, comedy and romance. The research also found that thrillers appeal most to males from teens to mid-30s. Based on this, the document outlines a plan to target a new thriller movie to audiences aged 15-26, combining psychological and action elements with an enigmatic plot and fast pacing, and releasing it online.
Lauren Whyte discusses several legal and ethical issues regarding her film Pursued. She believes the film does not break any laws as it does not include anything too extreme, and child actors were supervised. No animals were harmed during filming. The story is also original and does not adapt any existing works, avoiding copyright issues. Royalty-free music and sounds were used to prevent copyright problems. A health and safety risk assessment was completed prior to filming. The film would likely receive a 12 certificate as no visual violence is shown. Representations of gender and youth could be seen as stereotypical but may be broken as the film progresses. Representations of violence rely on imagination rather than visuals.

1. Views of films gone up
from 2010-2011 in rated 15
films, due to the
horror/thriller genre.
3 of the top 10 films that increased
viewings in cinemas for rated 15
and over films were horror and
thriller films.
2. This is the information I have found out from the ‘Pearl and Dean’ website giving me key information
on audience age and groups. Having now found this I would defiantly want to change my age range
from 15-30 to just 15-24.
