Prior to making my film i did my research and planning and within this section i needed to look at what age group i should aim my film at to make sure that 1. people would watch it and i would get the most amount of people going to see it as possible and 2. most importantly, i had to make sure that my audience would enjoy watching it. The audience may not have enjoyed my film, had it of been aimed at the wrong age group. From using the feedback i got from a questionnaire that i created to ask the general public of varied ages and my own research into what my film would have to involve to have to be a certain age, i decided that my film should be a 15 because it suited both peoples expectations and fitted what i wanted to put in my film with the age rating it should be. Although the age rating is 15, i believe that my film is aimed at 15 - 25 year olds which is quite a large age range considering my film is a horror film. However, had my film be a different genre, i would have to look at other factors to include within my film to make sure that it appealed to a larger audience because from what i have found within my research and planning is that people above the age of 30 are no longer interested in horror films. However, other genres can attract people of all different ages.
From what i have found from my research into the age ratings that i should give films depending on their content, this will help me when creating films in the future so that if i know i want to aim my film at a certain age group, then i will be able to reflect on my knowledge that i gained from my previous research and planning and apply it to the content of my film..
