Certification

To find out what certification our film should be I visited the BBFC website for certification to look at the guidelines for certification.

I have come to the decision that our film is definitely not a U film (universal) for the following reasons:
A universal film is a film that-
- shouldn't contain horror and if it does should be brief and mild that doesn't cause any anxiety to children and violence should be mild, this therefore wouldn't be appropriate for our film.


i have also decided that our film isn't a 12a for the following reasons:
Moderate violence is allowed but should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood, but occasional gory moments may be permitted if justified by the context. - our film does focus slightly too much on the violence and blod is emphasized on the knife.


I feel that our film is suitable for a 15 because a 15 is a film that allows strong threat and menace and the boundaries for violence are that violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. I think that our film sticks to these boundaries.
