Choosing an age certificate

An important feature of our trailer, posters and websites must show an age certificate rating. this will show portential audience memebers of how old they must be in order to watch the film and parts of the website. the certificate must be clearly dispplayed with the other credits. The trailer will be accessiable via the website, therefore there will be a block on the trailer so that any viewers who try to watch it under the age certificate will be unable.

We were unsure of what age certificate our trailer what fit, and so refered to the British Board of film classification website http://bbfc.co.uk/ so that we could identify what category our film what fit. The above table shows the certificates of both 15 and 18 rated fims. The red highlighted text on the left hand side shows the aspects of the rating that our trailer would breach if we were to classify it '15.' We therefore have chosen to calssify the film '18' as shown on the right hand of the table. The reasons for having to classify the trailer in this way is because of the use of violence and suggested violence within the trailer. We have also included drug usage and promotion of drug use in the trailer. For these reasons we have had to calssify thetrailer an '18'.
