BBFC Ratings

After a group discussion with Jack, Pablo and Nikita, we have concluded that the film opening meets the BBFC criteria for "15 - Suitable only for 15 years over" based on the latest BBFC Classification Guidelines (2014).

This is based on 8 different components which I will elaborate on below:
  • Discrimination: There will be no discriminatory language, themes or behaviour of any sorts explicitly or implicitly depicted or endorsed in our film opening. 
  • Drugs: Our film opening will not encourage or promote drug misuse. There will be no displays of drugs aside from a character smoking a  cigar/cigarette.
  • Imitable behaviour: There will be dangerous behaviour involved including jumping and the wielding of katanas but this will not be lingered on.
  • Language: There will be very little to no strong language used in our film opening.
  • Nudity: There will be no nudity displayed in our film opening. 
  • Sex: There will be no sexual activity portrayed or referenced in our film opening.
  • Threat: There will be no focus on sadistic, sexual or psychological threats of any sorts in our film opening.
  • Violence: There will be strong violence displayed in our film opening including cuts, injuries and general infliction of pain but this will not be dwelled on. No strong gory images or sadistic violence will be depicted.
