BBFC Guidlines

Our thriller that we are planning to film would contain moderate violence and disturbing images, this would be rated at a 15. [need to complete]

We feel that our main film company that we would want produce the film would be FOX although they don’t predominantly produce thrillers although, TimeWarner would be a good company to produce the thriller.

Film Rating System
U – Universal - This is the lowest film rating and should definitely be suitable for audiences age four and above. “U” films should have a positive moral framework and counterbalance violence, thriller, threat and horror.

PG – Parental guidance – An unaccompanied child of any age is able to watch films under this rating and it should not disturb children ages eight and over, but younger children’s parents are asked to consider whether accompanying them would be necessary.

12 – This means that no one over 12 can view the film

12A – This rating is for cinema films only, it means that children under 12 can watch the film as long a they are accompanied by an adult

15 – This means that the film is only suitable for children aged fifteen or over, it is illegal for someone under the age of fifteen to rent or buy a video work given the rating “15”

18 – It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to buy or rent a video work rated “18” this can often due to graphic material.

R18 – Films with this rating may only be shown in specially licensed cinemas, and only supplied licensed sex shops to people over the age of 18. The rating “R18” is a film classification primarily for explicit works of consenting sex or strong fetish material involving adults.
