we aimed to produced a crime fiction movie opening which
     would captivate the viewer enough to want to watch
     a hole movie on it , to do this we needed to identify
     our audience and how to appeal to them. The Crime
     Fiction genre usually targets males between the ages
     of 18-34.

When we knew this was our audience we did some primary
    research into just what type of people we where
    looking at from a human aspect (not just
    statistically). I found people in my area to talk to
    ranging from the upper sixth form to middle age, we
    discussed what type of things they looked for in crime
    fiction and what drew them into it in the first place.
   When looking at a age rating we turned to the BBFC
   (the British Board of Film Classification). We knew that our audience
    was primarily between the ages of 18-35 however this did not go to
    say that we would aim to make it so graphic it is rated an 18 as this
    excludes audiences ranging just under our target audience and
    recues our ability for our film to be watched in large groups if it was
    an 18.
   Further more to be a 18 would suggest that our film contains :
      -illegal drug use, which may cause harm to public health or
    morals. This may include portrayals of sexual or
    sexualised violence which might, for example, eroticise or
    endorse sexual assault
      -explicit images of sexual activity which cannot be justified by
    context. Such images may be appropriate in ‘R18’ works, and in
    ‘sex works

     when in fact it does not contain these things. Our product is gritty
    but not unnecessarily so , everything is done for a reason and there
    are no use of drugs that might promote its use but more highlight its
    issue .

   We decided our video would be certificate 15. This is because it may
    feature occasional swearing but not repeated use. It will not include
    dangerous behaviour but not to the description the bbfc deeps the
    next level (e.g. hanging, suicide and self-harming) and will not
    “glamorize” easily accessible weapons. There will be no nudity or
    sexual activity. There will be some violence but it will not dwell on
    the infliction of pain or injuries. Gory images will not be included in
    our film and no reference to sexual violence.
