The BBFC certificate of our film is very important, as it determines the age range of those who are able to view our content. As a group we have decided that our film should be rated a 12A, therefore no one under this age may view our content in cinemas, unless of course if they are accompanied by an adult.
According to the BBFC website, our film can include:
Language - It is possible that 12A rated films contain moderate language. In addition to this, strong language may be permitted depending on how it is used, and who is using it.
Nudity - Scenes of nudity may be included, however it must be brief and discreet.
Drugs - If portrayed, the misuse of drugs has to be infrequent and must not be glamorised or give instructional details.
Sex - Sexual activity can be portrayed if discreet, and references to sex must be moderate.
Threat - A moderate threat may be portrayed, both physical and psychological. Although some scenes may be disturbing, the overall tone should not be, therefore horror sequences should not be frequent.
Violence - Moderate violence is tolerated, however it should not be dwelled upon. There should not be any emphasis on injuries or blood, however occasional gory moments are permitted. In terms of sexual violence, it should only be implied or discreetly indicated, and its depiction must be justified in the context.
Our film will not include violence, sex, drugs, nudity or strong language, however due to the portrayal of threat, we decided that the rating of 12A best suited the tone of the film.
