Age ratings
- 2. Generally I think it is possible to say from the research I have conducted around the thriller genre that most thriller genres do tend to have content and specific moments of action that makes them inappropriate or not suitable for teenagers under the age of 15 to watch. From conducting my general research I founded that due to the main purpose of thrillers involving the concept and idea that the audience was deeply intimidated, trilled and shocked by and in order for producers to do this they must include material that would make an adult feel these particular emotions meaning that for most under the age of 15 and in some cases 18 the content within the thrillers would be potentially too intimidating or damaging for the induvial.
- 3. SOME EXAMPLES- In general the average age rating for a thriller film would be 15 due to wanting the audience to feel thrilled and on the edge on their seats throughout the duration of the film. However obviously there are some exceptions to the figure as it is just an average estimate. An example of a film that doesn't follow this average is inception. Inception is a thriller film however to has a rating of 12A which shows that despite the content in most thrillers being too much for a demographic younger than 12 there are some that are suitable making it very dependent on the specific film.
- 4. THIS IS JUST A QUICK LIST OF A COUPLE OF THRILLERS THAT I RESEARCHED THE AGE RATINGS OF. AS YOU CAN SEE JUST FROM THIS SMALL SAMPLE THE AGE RATINGS ON AVERAGE DO STILL REFLECT THE CONCEPT THAT YOU ARE 15 OR 18 PLUS TO BE ABLE TO WATCH A MAJORITY OF THRILLERS.
