Certificate Research 15

Chosen Certificate 

For our film we wish to make our certificate rating a 15 as it helps maximise our audience and making it more popular to a wider range of audience. We gave it a 15 as it will contain mild violence in scenes such as where the parents argue (have spoken about this in detail n my film pitch) and when the young girl nearly gets run over. However, we are not showing extreme gore or dwelling on the pain and injury so it will fade out in black before there would be any traumatic images. Strong language will be used throughout our film to put emphasis on the man as the antagonist as it shows his dark side. At 15 there can be strong threat and horror as long as there is no sustained focus on sexualised threat which we do not contain. Therefore, we felt we didn't need to rate in an 18 as we aren't containing extremely strong sex scenes or nudity allowing it to be more acceptable for 15's and overs.
