Audience and Ratings

BBFC Age Ratings: http://milliej2013.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/kh-bbfc-age-ratings.html

Friday the 13th (Marcus Nispel, 2009) is rated as an 18 in the UK but the ratings are different worldwide from 12 to 18+. Although our production has a similar plot line and some violent scenes of the same nature (e.g stabbing), the content is not as explicit, which shows why the age rating of 15 for Camp Ivy is suitable for a younger teenage audience. IA 15 age rating for a production like Camp Ivy would be suitable, as it attracts a teenage audience, yet not too young for scenes of a violent nature.

Another film which has influenced our production is Eden Lake (James Watkins, 2008).Eden Lake also has an age rating of 18 in the UK, and differs from 12 to 18+ worldwide. In Eden Lake:

 'A boy, around 10 years old is doused in petrol, A tire is thrown over his head and he is burnt alive. His screams can be heard yet he is not seen burning. Only from a distance we see him yet no detail can be seen at the distance'. 

We do not have scenes at this level of violence in our production, which again proves our age rating is suitable.
