TARGET AUDIENCE & (NOTIONAL) BBFC CLASSIFICATION

BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) Rating System

Suitable for an audience of four and above, set with a positive nature and should counterbalance violent, threatening or horrific issues.

Suitable for pre school children and tend not to address the main nine issues.

PG (Parental Guidance), viewing of this certificate may be unsuitable for unaccompanied children. This rating shouldn't disturb and audience of around eight or older.

Suitable for children 12 and over, needing to be accompanied by an adult. Which replaced the normal 12 certificate in 2002.

12 certificates , are specific for an audience of 12 and over.

15 certificates are specific for an audience below 15. And no one below 15 is able to view on buy any of this material.

18 is a rating which is strictly for adults only as it contains some form or explicit of the nine major categories.

R18 is classed for adults only and can only be sold at adult shop or viewed at a licenced cinema.

When classifying the film i need to take into Account these 9 Major Aspects that the BBFC use:

• theme
• language
• nudity
• sex
• violence
• sexual violence
• criminal or harmful actions
• horror
• drugs

From Mine and Alex's Initial Idea we feel that our Film currently falls under the rating of 15.
This is because of the Horror theme running throughout, the corpses arm falling off and the girl tied to the chair who looks like shes been kidnapped/tortured. Also the arm falling off the corpse could be seen as Comedy so this lowers the Rating a little. Although the current rating is 15 we feel this also could be raised to an 18 certificate due to the fact that if we focused more on the violence it would be come unsuitable for audiences lower than the age of 18.

I will update this post with the our Final rating after we have finished the process of making our Film.
