Be aware of the target audience is one, or the most important pre-production issue. The target audience, sets the mood and the way how the story is going to be tell. The audience has a direct connection in the way how the story is tell as an example is the sequel of Shrek. Shrek is an huge ogre that does not like anyone but for situations of life he has to save a princess; during this adventure he has to fight soldiers and different kind of monsters, as the target audience is children, we do not see blood in any of the sequence including in huge fights of soldiers, the use of personification make soft the idea of the main job of the animal, for example an ass is just use to carry thing but in the film does not. If the target audience were adults the story will be the same but the way that is tell will change drastically. In the fighting scene will be more realistic battles with blood and injure people and the animals will have the real purpose.
Before the film is release and even when the filmaker knows which one is the target audience, the film has to be classified and this process in the UK is made by BBFC (british board of film classification)
The process of classifying
In most cases the decision is ratified by a Senior Examiner, but if the Examiners are in any doubt or fail to agree, or if important policy issues are involved, the work may be seen by other members of the Board up to, and including, the Director and Presidential team. The BBFC has published guidelines to know more or less what is the path to classified a film.
Examiners look at issues such as discrimination, drugs, horror, imitable behaviour, language, nudity, sex, sexual violence, theme and violence when making decisions. They also consider context, the tone and impact of a work (eg how it makes the audience feel) and even the release format (for example, as DVDs are watched in the home, there is a higher risk of under-age viewing).
The categories
The BBFC endeavours to classify submitted works in one of the following categories:

The following pages set out guidance on how the main issues (for example, sex and violence) are specifically applied from ‘U’ through to ‘R18’. The criteria should be read in the light of the general approach set out earlier under ‘General Principles’, ‘Overarching Factors’ and ‘Main Issues’.
Because works from time to time present issues in ways which cannot be anticipated, these criteria will not be applied in an over-literal way if such an interpretation would lead to an outcome which would confound audience expectations.
