An 18 is the highest certificate of the films i've chosen, a film with a certificate of 18 cannot be viewed or purchased by anyone aged under 18. The content of 18 rated films is similar to that of 15 rated films except that it can be much more explicit in violence and nudity.
Our Film Rating:
We would give our film a rating of 15 as it does not contain explicit content but does include strong threats, elements of fear and gore. Our film will be mainly aimed at male teenagers and young adults as our findings from imdb.com show that the majority people who saw similar films were male and aged from around under18 to 29.
Attracting our target audience:
We decided to attract this audience through the use of tension in our film, it starts with the victims hiding from the zombie and eventually being chased this creates a build up of suspense to when they are found by the zombie this, will build excitement and fear in our audience.
