The document outlines the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) ratings system, which assigns ratings from suitable for all ages to adults only based on content. It describes the age restrictions and viewing conditions for each rating level. The document also states that the filmmakers believe their target audience is 15 years and over due to some complex content, and they are aiming for an 'E' rating which indicates material for students.

9. Our target audience
• We felt that by the content we intend to include that 15 was the most
suitable. Because some of the content may not be appropriate for
younger viewers and they may not understand what is going on in the
short film.
• On the general registrar scale we are aiming to put our target
audience on the ‘E’ (students) due to the nature of our short film.
