Age Certificate

From our audience research we have chosen to make our film a 15 age certificate as our films main characters are around this age, also from our questionnaire we have found out that people this age are the ones that watch thrillers the most.


The rules and regulations for a 15 certificate is :

Theme: No theme is prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate to 15 year olds.

Language: There may be frequent use of strong language; the strongest terms are only rarely acceptable. Continued aggressive use of strong language and sexual abuse is unacceptable.


Violence: Violence may be strong but may not dwell on the infliction of pain, and of injuries. Scenes of sexual violence must be discreet and brief.


Imitable techniques: Dangerous combat techniques such as ear claps, head-butts and blows to the neck are unlikely to be acceptable. There may be no emphasis on the use of easily accessible lethal weapons (in particular, knives).


Horror: Sustained or detailed infliction of pain or injury is unacceptable.


Drugs: Drug taking may be shown but clear instructive detail is unacceptable. The film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug use.
