A 15 rated film is were people under the age of 15 are not allowed to view the film in a cinema, or even rent/buy it as a DVD.I have looked at the BBFC specs for a 15 rated film and have found that there are a lot of things on the list of things acceptable in a 15 rated film, bad language, blood/gore and even sexual scenes are allowed in a 15, however these are only allowed to be in the film with little detail, like for example, a sexual scene must not be shown in high detail, however it can be shown so that the audience know what has happened.
I have also looked into the specifications for 12/12a, a 12a is for cinema use, were a person under 12 may view the fim, with parents consent, however a 12, is were no one under the age of 12 may rent/buy the film. The specs for a 12/12a are a lot simular to that of a 15, with just less detail, strong language is allowed however it must be infrequent, even sexual references are allowed however they must be discret and infrequent. However i do not think that our film is right for this category, we have violence and strong language that i think is unsuitable to people the age of 12.An 18 is a film were no one under the age of 18 is allowed to view it either at the cinema or buy/rent it. For a film to be rated an 18, it must have frequent sex scene, lots of blood/violence/gore and must have a lot of very strong language. However i do not think that this category is right for our film as it is not violent enough and giving it a rating which is not required would make our audience smaller.
I think that our film will be a 15 as it falls into the categories of a 15 set by the BBFC, it contains violence and strong language which i believe is unsuitable to anyone under the age of 15 and it is not violent enough to be deemed an 18.
