How are audiences grouped and targeted?

 Film Classification. Film classification is where films are age rated and given any content advice to films. This is all done before the release of any new film. In the UK a company BBFC (British Board of Film Classification). Rates any new films being released in the UK.  There are 6 different age ratings the BBFC use: U PG 12A 12 15 18 "U (Universal) . - Suitable for all. A U rated film should be suitable for anyone over the age of 4. Though you can never predict how children interpret a film which may cause upset when viewing. U rated films should be set within a positive framework and should off reassuring counterbalances to any violence, threat or horror."   https://www.bbfc.co.uk/rating/u Some examples of films rated U are:  Bee Movie. Home. The Croods. Yogi Bear. Luca. I believe films rated U are more of the Disney films and are mostly animated, this is due to the film directors target audience being for the younger children. By having a film rated U all...

What other media products that have inspired me for my planning.

 Television Programmes Money Heist. Money Heist is a Crime - Thriller - Drama though could also be categorised under the genre action due to the characteristics and of the series with the constant scenes of action and fast flow. It is based of smart criminals trying to rob a bank in Spain. When watching Money Heist you get the sense of urgency throughout, with the storyline being so well written it becomes from the audiences perspective a really good and enjoyable series to watch. As well as the sense of not knowing what is going to happen next. Something the director Alex Pina did very well when directing it. Episodes are full of action and suspense.  Money Heist has helped me plan for my opening scene by making me think about the flow and the constant sight of action. I would also like just like Money Heist for the audience not to know what is going to happen next something  the director Alex Pina did so well. This should enhance the audience into the film opening ...

My personal favourite movies under the Genre Action and Horror.

 Action. For movies under the genre action I don't have a single favourite movie  as I enjoy them all. But some of my favourites are: James Bond. Kingsman. Saving Private Ryan.  1917. Money Heist. (Series) The Avengers.  Out of the ones above if I had to pick what to watch it would be out of those ones. James Bond. James Bond for me has to be up there for one of my favourites as the way the directors make the films so engaging to watch as well as the storyline so interesting. With the amount of James Bond movies that have been released some would say they would die out but now with this franchise they seem to only get better and better. With all parts of action from car chases, to shoot outs, as well as stunts. Which makes for the audience a great film to watch as the way the storyline flows as well as the scenes they record all over the world creating a great picture for the audience to enjoy. 1917 1917 set around The First World War an interesting insight to what h...

(2014) To be top 3 you have to have made a good film and with John Wick an action packed film. A one man killing machine. That keeps the audience on edge throughout with its exciting story line and endless action it had to be up there. Though a more recent film than some others in the list it didn't disappoint. The director Chad Stahelski did a great job with John Wick and fans hoping the franchise never ends. John Wick generated $43.0 Million from the Box Office. With the film getting a rating of 81% on the audience score on Rotten Toma...
