The Certificate of my Romantic Comedy

My romantic comedy is going to be a 12.  This is because the target audience of a romantic comedy is usually females between the ages 12 and 18. If the certificate was a 15 or 18 this would restrict the success of the film as less people would be able to watch it, especially the target audience. If it was a U or PG the consent wouldn't be that of a romantic comedy. 
Some codes and conventions of a romantic comedies consent are infrequent use of strong language and brief nudity. These are allowed to be viewed by people who are 12 and over and I will be using these codes and conventions in my film. 
By choosing to make my film a 12 I am increasing the chances of it being successful, based on the success of other romantic comedies, as this certification and genre go well together.
