My film classification

Film Classification

After researching the criteria for film classificatiuon using the British Board of Film Classification website, I have determined that my film would be rated 15. This would mainly be due to strong language used within the film and possible sexual activity that may be necessary given the subject matter of the film and its genre (Rom Com).

Films rated 15 often contain elements such as:

• Drug Use: Drugs may be included in the film provided the film does not represent drug use as positive.
• Horror: Strong horror scenes are permitted provided they are not sadistic or sexualised.
• Dangerous Behaviour: For example self harm or attempted suicide. This is acceptable provided the film doesn't dwell on it.
• Language: Strong language is permitted provided it is not repeated or aggressive.
• Nudity is permitted in a sexual context provided there is no strong detail. There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual context.
• Sex: Sexual activity may be portrayed without strong detail. Strong verbal references to sexual behaviour are acceptable as long as justified by context.
• Violence: Strong violence is permitted as long as it does not dwell on the infliction of pain. Strong sexualised or sadistic violence in unlikely to be acceptable.
