Film Certificate And Target Audience

An important part of our film opening was choosing a film certificate and a target audience. As a group the four of us decided the certificate 15 was suitable. we choose this as we believed certifcate 12 would be too young and it would not be as intense and scary for a certificate 18 also that if we were to create the whole film, the story line and scenes would match up to a certificate 15 another main reason for choosing certificate 15 was from doing research by watching other certificate 15 movies these also show the similar conventions as ours we decided this would be suitable. For our target audience we decided it would suit teen aged girls to young women as our film opening has the stereotypical boy stalks girl relationship - the vitcim stalker relationship also.
The other main reason we choose this certificate and age bracket. this reason being the costumes our characters wore. these costumes show the age bracket because the fashion of the two characters. also because the characters also have the same age bracket of the certificate.
