The document discusses rating a horror film and determining its target audience. It notes that similar horror films have received 15 or 18 ratings depending on their graphic violence, language, and offensive content. While the film's opening scene shows a death, it is not graphic. However, the film becomes more graphic throughout to engage audiences, so the document rates it 18 to target young adult audiences aged 18 and up. An 18 rating gives more freedom with language, storyline, and graphic content compared to lower ratings.

1. Who will be the audience? Through my research of other horror films I noticed that allot of them have been given a 15 or 18 rating. This depends on how much violence, sexual images, strong language and how graphic or offensive it may be. The films that i analysed the openings of all have ratings of 18. Because in our opening we show a death this would bring the rating up, however it is not graphic as you don’t actually see how the character dies, but as the film progresses we decided that it would become more graphic to keep the audience engage and make it seem more of a gory horror. Because of this I would give our film an 18 rating, therefore the target audience for our film would be young adults, from the age of 18 upwards. Giving it an 18 rating gives us less boundaries for the rest of the film, we wouldn’t have to worry as much about the language used or if the story line is appropriate for younger children and teenagers.
