Just like any other television production our documentary needed a target audience but unlike our thriller film we produced last year it didn't need a rating.
Our way of rating it will be to put our documentary on after the 'watershed' due to it being a mature topic which younger children would be advised against watching. Most programmes after the watershed are for 15 years and above but some 12 years and above shows are shown so we believe our documentary would be in between these two ratings.
The 'watershed' is the term that describes the time period in a television schedule that adult/more mature content (footage with swearing, violence or of a sexual nature). The time period for this is between 9:00pm and 5:30am in the United Kingdom and seeing as our programme is the lowest form of adult content due to the violence of the riots and swearing that may occur in the documentary archive footage we have scheduled it to be shown at 9:00pm, the earliest hour of the 'watershed'. Ofcom regulate the 'watershed' in the United Kingdom
