Who would be the audience for your media product?

The age for my film would be between 15-50 year olds as there is quite a lot of action and violence but not enough to make it an 18.
The film is aimed at those who are keen war film enthusiasts, particularly those who are interested in WW2, as the film is based on the experiences of a US Paratrooper in Normandy France 1944.
However, in my opinion, the film is almost anti-war as it shows a shell-shocked soldier staring at the life-less bodies of his fallen comrades. I think that it is also quite interesting to see the effects of warfare on the mind and how the struggle of war is not just to survive but to keep your sanity as well.
If the entire film was made, I would film it in the same style as the two minute opening sequence and it would feature action, drama and show the real effects of war.
I believe that the post traumatic stress and the occurring flashbacks that come with intense combat are good to watch and an interesting insight into the mind of a soldier involved in some of the heaviest fighting of the 20th Century.

This is a link to the annotated opening looking at the different aspects of the film:

These images are scene in the beginning of the film and show the horrific aftermath of a battle

Images of death are a reoccurring feature in La Ferme

This shows a soldier just after he has been hit by shrapnel from an artillery shell

Films such as Saving Private Ryan, Saints and Soldiers and the mini-series Band of Brothers are all rated 15+ as they feature bad language and violence that is not suitable for people younger than 15. However, it can depend on the rating given to each film as it depends on the use of different moods and themes.For example, The Battle of Midway and All Quiet on the Western Front, are both set in a wartime context, the first examines the themes of honor, sacrifice, and valour, and the second is an anti-war film which emphasises the pain and horror of war. As a result of this, the rating may differ as the first is almost pro-war, showing heroism and gallantry yet the second would focus more on horrific scenes of death and misery in order to appeal to a more anti-war audience.
