Based on the table above we award out film ‘I Can Explain ‘an age rating of 12. We don’t feel that any of the content has bad context or Tone and impact on our Target audience. This rating is quite common in Rom Com films and since the content of our film is very similar to other Rom Com's we decided to use a 12 as our rating also considering all of the above information and the main issues to consider in a BBFC rating.

This age rating does not affect our target audience as they will be allowed to still watch our movie as our Primary target audience will be Females between the ages of 12-35 our secondary Target audience are females over the age of 35 so yet again our secondary target audience will not be affeced by the age Rating.
