The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is a non-government organisation, founded by the film industry in 1912 and is responsible for the national classification and censorship of films exhibited at cinemas and other video productions.
We decided to certify our film at an age restriction of 15. We think this is the appropriate rating for our film, as some scenes in our film show domestic violence and abuse which some younger viewers may find distressing.
The BBFC has classified that an age 15 certificate would involve violent behaviour that could be copied by more impressionable children. Again, this violence is shown through the character, Jay who has a tendency to act violently towards our main protagonist, Madison.
When creating the BBFC certificate, we used a 15 rating template we found online. Using Photoshop we copied a black box and pasted it onto the original name for this certificate. Then we changed the front of the text to be much larger and become bold to fit our theme. We also changed what was said on the film certificate itself, such as changing 'nudity' to 'disturbing scenes'.
You researched the BBFC website and decided how to rate your film.
