Film Classification

Age rating
Since our film was a thriller we had to make sure we chose the right age because not any age might be suitable. So I researched the different ages for films and how they are suitable for the specific age.

bbfc - The British Board of Film Classification is an independent, non-governmental body which has classified cinema films since it was set up in 1912 and videos/ DVDs since the Video Recordings Act was passed in 1984.

This video explains the different age ratings from bbfc:



After knowing about the different ages we decided that our film would be a classification of '18'. We classified it this age because people younger than 18 may get easily confused as most thrillers have unexpected turns and diverse possibilities.  Another reason is our film has psychological parts; children below ‘18’ may not have learnt this kind of stuff in school which would mean that they wouldn’t understand. We didn’t rate it a ‘15’ because we didn’t want to show a risk or harm to individuals through behaviour or society and the use of explicit images of sexual activity which cannot be justified. Another reason we classified it this age was because some parts of the full film may have had explicit violence. We believe that ’18’ is the perfect age for our film.
