Who would be the audience for your media product?

The BBFC Classifications


The BBFC have three general classifications in

which they use to rate a film and they are: Context (The context of an issue in the film, taking into account the setting and the manner of the work) Theme (The treatment of the theme and how it is presented) Tone and Impact (The darker the tone the higher the rating however they also consider the impact the film will have on the audience about a certain topic) We have decided to rate our thriller as a 15 due to the dangerous behaviour, dark tone and psychological threat present throughout it.

Context
As our thriller film is about a middle aged man

who develops insomnia it is clear to say that it is of a realistic setting. The mise-en-scene in the opening highlights this as it portrays a working class man (through his costume of a suit) living in a normal home (which can be seen through the untidy kitchen and empty bathroom). The issues in our film, such as dangerous behaviour, can be relatable to real life and may therefore have higher influence on younger audiences (giving our thriller a higher rating)

Theme
The themes that we face in our opening are

difficult ones such as dangerous behaviour, violence and psychological threat (all of which are shown through our antagonist). This is to be treated negatively but it would still be unsuitable for younger audiences.

Tone and Impact


Our thriller has a dark tone to it, which can clearly

be seen through our use of long staring shots, monochrome colour and hints of psychological problems. Thus making it unsuitable for younger audiences as they would be impacted far more by the dark nature of the antagonist than older and more mature audiences.

Target Audience
Our main target audience would be between the

ages of 15 - 24 however the thriller would be suitable for ages up to and exceeding 30 however any age under 15 would be impacted too much by the content.

Competing Thrillers
Our product differs from other conventional

thrillers because the audience is shown the film from the perspective of the antagonist. While this can be seen in a few thriller films, such as The Talented Mr Ripley, our aim is not to make the audience sympathetic to the antagonist. The other main difference would be our challenge of the working class character as we portray a hard working character who obviously has a good job, this is seen through his suits that are lined up in the wardrobe, to have psychological problems and issues that are not usually shown in characters of similar status.
