Question 5: Elements of the text for the target audience

As previously stated in the last answer, we had originally planned for our film to be for a 15 age rating for the cinema audience targeting. This means we could have had lots of blood and gore for the audience and that it could have had a lot of violence shown.

However, we have since changed the way in which we have filmed to suit the audience at a lower age rating without actually realising it. We didn't incorporate the violence as when we were planning the film we had forgotten to take it into account. Also the fact the we were using my house for it and I have elderly neighbours so I had to take into account any effects that it could have to them.

The lack of violence nor blood has lowered the potential age rating so a wider audience can be targeted. As we have only filmed the two minute opening, we have to realise that we don't know the full outcome on how it would carry on, whether we would have those elements or not./

However, using the bbfc as a guideline, we have managed to choose that maybe having a lower age rating would be better for the distribution of our film and that focusing on the younger audience like we have subliminally done would lead to more money being main if the music was made in the real media world.
