The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) limits the audience depending on what age is on the BBFC certificate. If for example the BBFC was 18 then the new generation of young people using the internet will not be able to watch it, which will cut viewing a lot. This means our short film will have to stick to content allowed below the 18 certificate. I think the most appropriate age is a 12a, this is because we will still be able to touch on a deeper topic which is one of the purposes of a short film and they are old enough to give the important message to without cutting views a great deal.
The most practical distribution method as a student would be via the internet. Given the low budget the internet allows anything to be put up without being judged whereas the footage we will get isn’t good enough for mainstream TV or cinema viewings. Also, as a student it is very accessible and will be available for loads of other teenagers, which is what we could possibly target as our audience. In addition, the internet is very easy to use which will make the whole process easier and not time consuming.
