For our thriller we have tried to aim for an audience of around 15-30. The film will appeal to people of this age as it contains themes which are associated with this age group (Gangs, violence and psychotic behaviour) Although it is not to say that people above the age will not enjoy the movie but it may be less relevant to them as the content could be considered as popular culture which is associated to young adults and teenagers. Our film would not be suitable for persons below this age as it does contain moderate violence and the narrative may be too difficult for minors to understand and fully comprehend. The film does not deserve a higher rating as it does not contain material deemed inappropriate by the BBFC ( e.g excessive use of drugs, portrayals of sexual or sexualised violence which eroticise or endorses the behaviour).
The following information is taken of the BBFC site (http://www.sbbfc.co.uk/categories_15) :
What sort of issues might I find in a ‘15’ film, DVD or video game?
‘15’ works are stronger than '12' or ‘12A’ rated works and could include any of the following:
• strong violence
• frequent strong language (eg 'f***').
• portrayals of sexual activity
• strong verbal references to sex
• sexual nudity
• brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
• discriminatory language or behaviour
• drug taking
Occasionally there may be uses of the strongest terms (eg 'c***'), although continued aggressive use will not normally be passed at ‘15’. For more detailed information on the ‘15’ category click here to read the BBFC guidelines
