Classification

For my film my group and I have decided that the classification will be rated 12A. We have decided to use this rating because it is the correct age for our audience and the content that we will include in our film. Our target audience range includes people of the age of around 12/13 which means that our target audience will be able to go and watch our film without being too young. Another reason why we chose to have the age rating at 12A is because we don't have any violent or gory scene. If we did the British Board of Film Classification states that in a rated 15 film it is allowed to include some gory elements. After doing my research on the BBFC website I now know what elements and features not to include in my film. In our film we will not include any crude sexual references or any sexual content that is detailed. Although our film is quite gory and violent we will not include any sadistic or sexual threat in the movie. One of the themes in our film is danger however we will not cross the line of including any suicidal, hanging or self harm in our film as these elements would be sending the wrong message to our target audience and would not be appropriate to watch.
