target audience

As a group we have decided to give our film a 15 certificate. Most of the films reviewed hold a 15 certificate.

• Drag me to hell has a 15 uk film certificate.
• The hills have eyes has an 18 uk film certificate.
• The stangers had a uk crtificate of 15.
• Identity had a uk film certificate of 15.
• Identity had a uk certificate of 15.
• Funny games had a 18 uk film certificate.

typically the reason why films are given the 15 certificate by the bbfc is because they may have made crtiereia seen in the films i have reviwed. there is often a strong or menacing threat in psychological horrors these are deemede acceptable to be 15 unless they are sadistic or sexualised. also in many psychological horrors when there is dangerous behaviour it is not dwelled upon in enough detail to be copied. also weapons are not easily glamourised. funny games is a film that goes against the conventions as the violence is highly sadistic which is shown in its certificate. our target audience is males between 18 and 25 as it has been seen that they are the highest number of people that watch horror films. this can be seen in our film as the protagonist uses his computer to research his victim, as he is using a computer it suggests to the viewer that he is young as he is on a social networking website.
