On the basis of the audience research and the film Mentalized, we have decided that the film certificate to be give would be a 15. This is becasue of all of the pychological elements and the other reason being of the scenes, one of them being a stabbing therefore it could be too graphic for under 15 year olds. The reason why Mentalized isn't an 18 is because an 18 states that the film would have to be sexually explicit scenes, very strong language, violence and graphic scenes. Which Mentalized doesn't involve any of them. The odd occasion swear word may be used and the stabbing scene but thats it. Though in the stabbing scene, the camera would be taken away from the body as like in the conventional thrillers. A 12 would be too young as the themes would be too complicated and too violent - therefore a younger audience wouldn't detach themselves unlike the older audience.
The reason for this as well would be that the target audience that we are aiming at are the 15 to 21 year olds. This is good for the demographic ages that we are aiming at. Our film I believe is mainly attracted to male's rather than females. However this wouldn't be a problem for girls to attend either.
We have noted that our film Mentalized may not be suited for everyone as a thriller (maybe even a psychological) as it takes a lot of thinking and consentrating. Also this may not be suited to everyone as thrillers are not everyones favourite genre. On the other hand our film follows some conventions whilst defying soem conventions and following certain stereotypes whilst in a way either juxapositing the stereotypes or defeating the comman stereotypes. I hope this attraction of follow and defying attracts a wider audience.
