Certification


Classification of a 15 According to the British Board of Film Classification

  • Must not endorse discrimination
  • Drugs may be shown, but may not promote them
  • Should not focus on how dangerous, harmful beavious such as sucide could be copied
  • Very strong language is allowed
  • Nudity is allowed if there is little detail when it is in a sexual context 
  • Sex may been shown and referenced but not in strong detail
  • A strong threat is allowed as long as it is not of an extremely dark or sadistic nature
  • Violence can be strong as long as it does not linger on the infliction of pain
We had originally planned for our film to be a 12A, but it is clear to us now after filming that the strong messages of threat and possible mugging conveyed would raise the rating to a 15. This is actually beneficial to us as the majority of people in our questionnaire said that a 15 was their preferred age certificate
