In General the target audience for these type of films are young adults/teenagers who have an undying passion for music. I think that the undying love for music is very important when it comes to watching a film related to music as it allows the audience to really connect to how the characters feel in the film. Not having a passion for music may lead to people not being as interested in the films as they can't connect. These movies were role models for my films target audience as I believe that any young adult could enjoy my film but I think that if you have an undying passion for music you will love it even more then the average young adult might.


I think that the age certificate on my film would be a 15 as there would be some comedy elements in the film that wouldn't be seen as appropriate for anyone younger than the age of 15. Also as they are a 'rock' band there could be some possible drug elements in my film so I believe that a MPAA of 15 would work.
