Often, the age rating won't be the same in different countries due to the culture and how that country views specific topics. For example, the movie Bridget Jones's Baby, directed by Sharon Maguire and released in the year 2016, has different age ratings in different countries.

The tentpole movie, The Dark Knight, directed by Nolan and released in the year 2008 has an arguably ridiculous age rating. There is a lot of gore and violence, for example, a scene where the Joker impales someone in the eye with a pencil. If this was an indie movie, the rating would almost definitely be much higher. Critics believe this movie should be at least a 15, however BBFC defended their ratings.

A good post, but worth revisiting - an issue for 2 Eval Qs + exam.
Again, make use of LARGEST (+font/colour/highlight) to help distinguish sub-headings.
Use simple (but consistent across the blog) sub-headings like IN THIS POST; KEY FINDINGS; POSSIBLE INFLUENCES especially for longer posts like this
Reduce the size of some screenshots which are still very easily read as smaller but can make it difficult to follow the flow
Generally put your main analysis ABOVE the embeds/screenshots, with brief captions to denote the relevance/point of screenshots/put in context the embedded vids
...
You have Eval Qs on how you've engaged with your audience + on representations - both are impacted by the production choice of what age rating to target (therefore what NOT to include, at the loss of some realism + possibly U+G: identification, escapism; you need to be clear still on what you CAN/WILL include which justifies targeting a 15 over a 12). You also need a simple table of zombie films: a column for 15 + for 18 (+ for younger if you see any) + for budget to global box office multiple, a clear visual representation of research.
Another Eval Q is on distribution; 18-ratings are relatively rare for big 5 distributed movies, something you'd address too.
basically, make it clearer that you've looked in detail at the genre ratings AND have clearly addressed your conclusions from this.
