As a group we have thought about making our film a 12A. This is because we are doing a youth drama, and youth dramas target audience is normally 12-19. Therefore if it is a 12A, 12 year olds can watch it and so can 19 year olds. However if it was to be classified as a 15, some 12 year olds may not be allowed to watch it.

Our Femme Fatale isn't one with their boobs out, wearing very little clothes, like the one in Sin City. The reason for this is because is because a type of femme fatale in Sin City is aimed at for an older target audience, because of what it reveals and some of the ways she acts could come across as too rude for a target audience of 12. Therefore, our femme fatale is going to be one that younger people can recognise as some, young and pretty women, who wears lots of makeup etc.
