Age Rating

http://www.bbfc.co.uk/classification/guidelines/15-2

this is a link to to the bbfc website which classifies the age rating viewers should be to watch certain films, this link is to the 15 rating page as it describes what we are allowed to use and show.

due to the violent scenes and strong language in our film we are going to make it a 15 as we didnt feel it neccescary to make it an 18 due to the fact it has no sexual imagery which seems to be the main base for something being rated 18

examining the established boundary conventions as set out by the bbfc we realised that within the catgory of 15 we can still show
  • implied violence
  • extreme aggression
  • implied threat
  • moderate explicit language depending on context
  • nudity in a non sexual content or in a sexual content without great detail

we have to consider when the film goes from hyperreality or suspended realtiy to reality as this is what would make the age boundary go up, as we are using hyperreality for our violent scenes we are taking care to make it seperate from the audience as if it becomes to real then we feel they would be disgusted and take no futher interest in our film.
