The British Board of Film Classification regulates the media, especially DVD/video, film and video games and is also a service provider for new and developing media. They provide media industries with the security and confidence of cost-effective, publicly trusted regulation and help to protect providers from breaches of UK law.
They help to protect vulnerable viewers and society from the effects of viewing potentially harmful or unsuitable content while respecting adult freedom of choice and have the right to make changes/ban films that they class as inappropriate.
For example, Cannibal Holocaust whereby the had to make five minutes 44 seconds of cuts to remove unacceptable elements which cuts were required in eight individual scenes, four scenes of sexual violence and four scenes of animal killing. 
We decided to aim our target audience at the ages of 18+. This is because the horror genre we have chosen is a slasher which is quite similar to films such as the Texas chainsaw massacre, valentine and a nightmare on Elm Street which were also classified as 18 because of the content. Also, our storyline is based on bullying in which the Protagonist is a pretty outgoing popular girl who goes partying; which will most likely appeal to an older audience.
