When films are given ratings, the content is looked at along guidelines set by the BBFC (British Board Film Classification). They follow a certain criteria and determine how much of each topic is involved in the production and to what extent - they mainly look for discrimination, drugs, imitable behaviour, language, nudity, sex, threat and violence.
Whilst deciding upon an age certificate we took into consideration the guidelines set by the BBFC. We decided on a 15 rating, this is because our trailer displays vivid content of drugs, it also has intense disturbance and presents danger and violence, with this content our trailer could possible be considered for an 18 age certificate. However, we felt the content was not disturbing enough for this rating and also took into consideration our target audience and how an 18 rating might diminish a large group of the young adults we are looking to appeal too.
