Age Rating Of Film & Why?

                                                         

I have chosen to age rate my film as a 15. I think that my creating a 15 rated film I can still include most elements of horror following the guidelines from BBFC. Arguably, I think that the people who use the cinema the majority of the time are teenagers/young adults. A 15 rated film ensures that the audience I am targeting can view the film in cinemas and therefore ensuring that a maximised profit is obtained from my demographic audience. In addition, the most likely generation that will actually watch horror films are the teenage generation. Although adults do watch them the younger audience more frequently view them. By creating a film with a 15 rating I am able to target my film to a much wider audience whilst remaining in the demographic I have chosen.
