BBFC states that most thrillers are classified as a 15, a rating that has specific guide lines and specifications. The rating of 15 means that the film can be viewed by anyone aged 15 and over, any younger and it is not permitted.
As for our own product, we are aiming at a 15, as we feel what our film will include best fits under this certification. We hope our film will not breach any of the set boundaries, as it should not include any over the top scenes including drugs or sexual nudity. However we are classifying our trailer as a 15 due to its incorporation of strong violence, strong language and discriminate behaviour. We base this decision on film trailer we are influenced by, most of which being heist films that include scenes of strong violence and language, as these too are rated 15.
