By setting up own our personal survey we have found out who our target audience is. Therefore, as this is a short film, we need to know what the age restriction is to watch this.
Furthermore, to find this out we research the BBFC guidelines on
their website. Under the guidelines of each age we believe that our film falls in the 15 or older category to watch this film. This is because we will be having dangerous behaviour in one scene of the film where it involves the main character called Max in committing suicide (hanging himself or stabbing himself). In addition, there will be some scenes that will have a lot of violence as Max will be killing innocent people because of his mental illness. These two guidelines are under the 15 years and over section in films.
The short film that we will be creating is aimed at a wide range of
ages. For example, we are aiming this for 15 years and older as from the results of our survey there were 25% of people who were 45 or above and 11% of people who are between 30 years old and 44. Also, we are aiming our film at both male and female as the film will raise awareness for psychosis.
