Certificate

We choose to certificate our opening sequence as a 15 it is currently defined as passed only for persons of fifteen years and over. No person apparently under the age if 15 years shall be admitted to any exhibition at which there is to be shown any film which has received a 15 certificate from the British board of film classification. We gave our film the classification of 15 because there my involve song strong language and violence throughout the film, if we was to finish filming. Also there may be some psychological factors that someone under 15 may not only find hard to understand but may find disturbing.

In a film that has been classified for viewers over the age of 15 there are boundaries that the distributed had to think carefully about, so we had to make sure we did not break this boundaries in the filming we done so that we could keep the 15 certificate.

Theme: No theme is prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate to 15 year olds. Language: There may be frequent use of strong language; the strongest terms are only rarely acceptable. Continued aggressive use of strong language and sexual abuse is unacceptable. Nudity: There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context. Sex: Sexual activity and nudity may be portrayed but without strong detail. The depiction of casual sex should be handled responsibly. There may be occasional strong verbal references to sexual behaviour. Violence: Violence may be strong but may not dwell on the infliction of pain, and of injuries. Scenes of sexual violence must be discreet and brief. Imitable techniques: Dangerous combat techniques such as ear claps, head-butts and blows to the neck are unlikely to be acceptable. There may be no emphasis on the use of easily accessible lethal weapons (in particular, knives). Horror: Sustained or detailed infliction of pain or injury is unacceptable. Drugs: Drug taking may be shown but clear instructive detail is unacceptable. The film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug use.
