Age Certificate

 

Initially, I thought our film would be a 12 or 12a, due to the fact that there is very little to no violence or sexual scenes and doesn't explicitly show anything that would be considered unsuitable for children. Despite this, our film will be very dark in tone and the BBFC website states that a certificate 12 film cannot be "a work which has a very dark or unsettling tone which could disturb the audience" and "would be less likely to be passed 12A even if the individual issues in the film were considered acceptable under the BBFC Guidelines"
Due to this, our film will be certified 15, due to the aforementioned "dark and unsettling tone" that we aim to incorporate into our film, playing a big part in the mood of it throughout.
