marketing

We have established our certificate as 15+ and to market to this audience we would: Advertise after popular tv shows that also appeal to this audience such as top gear or coronation street. Have facebook and twitter pages. Finally have posters outside cinemas and where they'd get attention e.g on the side of a bus

Our film's classification

after a discussion in the group we decided that our film should be certified as: 15- because there are violent elements and language that people may find offensive and children may imitate This classification fits the detective genre well as a lot of detective films have a 15 rating for example lethal Weapon 2 or Hot fuzz.
