LO4 - Proposal for Certification Classification

From the feedback gained we believe that the suitable certification for our film is a 15.

Our short film is suitable for children under the age of 18 as we decided that our film would have the age rating of 15 for example in the BBFC guidelines for a 15 age rated the violence maybe be strong but should not dwell as in our film there is moderate violence however it does not dwell on detail such as emphasis on injuries or blood so we are within the BBFC guidelines. It also does not include any discriminating language as this type of language would break the BBFC guidelines for a 15 rated film. Our film would be appropriate for pre-watershed scheduling as firstly it does not include any discriminating or mature language that would not be suitable for children to view. Secondly it does not feature any graphic violence that could cause shock or fear in younger audiences the violence shown is not dwelled on and can .
