From my certificate research I believe my films rating is best of rated as a 12 or a 15 it has still been undecided, I am undeceive between the two because by having a 12 rated film I am able to have a wider target audience, including more younger people who have a bigger deposable income, but then I thought about the age teenagers tend to get a job is 16 anyway which is over 15, by allowing me to rate my film as a 15 I’m able to include a range of explicate scenes which fit in with my story line. Similar films to my own are also rated as a 15 such as Hush, so therefore I am looking more towards picking a 15 rating, even though this takes away a small proportion of my audience, it also defines it to a more particular one for myself to work with.
