Evaluation Question 4

Question 4
Our main target audience would be couples aged from 16 to late 20’s because 51.1 of people aged 16 and over in England and Wales are in relationships. There are many Rom/Com films out there in the media industry, however there aren't many Rom/Com action films which is why we believe that joining these three genres together we could attract a wider mainstream audience. Rom/Coms are already a very popular with females and couples, however sometimes males don't really get into the genre, which is why we hope we can capture that side of the market and hopefully try to get mailes to watch the film. 

We will be giving our film a certification of 15 because when we were looking at the BBFC (British Board of certification) we can include Nudity in a sexual context but without strong detail and Sexual activities but without strong detail. We are also able to use strong references to violence; however, it cannot have strong gore or violence that dwells on the infliction of pain or injury. As well as this the bbfc permits that we are allowed to use strong language which we will use mainly during the fight scenes between the couple later on in the film. However very strong language may be permitted, depending on the manner in which it is used. So due to this we will not use any strong language as we don’t want to take the risk of our certification going up.

An example of a film which are is similar to ours is This means war. It combines the genres Action/Romance and has a sub-genre of comedy. It appeals to a wide audience the same as us, both genders aged 16-20’s +. The action attracts male by the genres generic conventions such as, violence and destruction. The Romance attracts female viewers as they usually can relate or imagine the romantic scenario and they get attracted to the genres generic conventions, love, happy ever after and boy meets girl.
