Film Certificates (OTS)

As our film will include violent scenes int needs to have a reasonably high film certificate. When researching the different film certificates on the "British Board Of Film Certificates" if found that the 18 certificate may be the correct certificate for our film. I feel that as our film will include murderer and mild torture that it should only be appropriate for adults. The opening title sequence will include a hostage scene and may be unsuitable for people under 18, However during my research I also found that the 15 certificate may also work for the film but as the actual film may include more scenes that could be distressing to the viewer we decided 18 would be the best solution and people under 18 might not find the film interesting to watch.

18 works are for adults and can contain strong issues such as:
  •   very strong violence
  •   frequent strong language (e.g. 'f***') and / or very strong language (e.g. ‘c***’)
  •   strong portrayals of sexual activity
  •   scenes of sexual violence
  •   strong horror
  •   strong blood and gore
  •   real sex (in some circumstances)
  •   discriminatory language and behaviours
Though 18 films and videos may cover difficult and strong subjects and themes, harm is still a consideration. Very dangerous or criminal behaviour (for example, behaviours which if copied poses a credible harm risk) may be cut.
