After researching certificates and what content and material is allowed for specific ages, I have chosen that my film should be a 15 certificate. I have chosen this classification for a number of reasons. Firstly, with the amount of violence, gore, themes and language that I intend on using for my film is adhering to the guidelines set out by the BBFC.
I had to take into consideration that if I made my film a 12A or an 18, there would be many things that I would miss out on. If I were to give it a 12A certificate, there would not be as much violence, bad language and I may have to change and adjust my theme so that it would be suitable. As it is a 15 I will not have these limitations to deal with on my film.
If I go to the other end of the spectrum and make it an 18, even though I will be allowed to be much more graphic in aspects of language, gore, violence and themes, I will cut out a large demographic of people who go to the cinema. Therefore, the less people that view my film means that I will make less of a profit and could potentially even lose out on some money.
