Who would be the audience for your media product (Question 4)

Our main audience for our film would be men and women aged from 15-30 as they are the most common ages of people that watch psychological horrors.

Our film is rated 15 by BBFC standards as it has no gore yet it is slightly too dark and scary for 0-14 year olds.


Guidelines and Classifications from BBFC

www.bbfc.co.uk/classification/guidelines
Horror films rated as 12 are allowed when the theme of the film is quite mild scares and the scares aren't that frequent throughout. Minor use of violence of sexual themes are allowed, also drug use shouldn't be used to give instructional detail. Explicit language mustn't be commonly used throughout the film. 







The horror content in a 15 rated film is allowed a quite appealing and evil threat, without use of sexual acts or sadistic scenes. Drug use is also permitted but should not be encouraged in any way. Gore is not permitted but strong language is allowed to be frequently used.







Any horror themes are allowed to be violent, sexual scenes, nudity, torture and sadistic scenes if the film is rated an 18. Yet scenes that breach criminal law for example detailed scenes of sexualised assault are most commonly unacceptable. Gore is acceptable also in this genre. Most extreme scenes are allowed to be 18 as people over 18 are allowed to choose what they watch.
