Age certificate

We have decided as a group that the age certificate for our film should be 15, to make it more relevant to our target audience and so that we are able to make it more humorous. Therefore, we researched into age certificates for films and what content would be acceptable. The bbfc state that: Theme No theme is prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate to 15 year olds. Language There may be frequent use of strong language (eg 'fuck'). But the strongest terms (eg 'cunt') will be acceptable only where justified by the context. Continued aggressive use of the strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable. Nudity Nudity may be allowed in a sexual context but without strong detail. There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context. Sex Sexual activity may be portrayed but without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour. Violence Violence may be strong but may not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. Scenes of sexual violence must be discreet and brief. Imitable techniques Dangerous techniques (eg combat, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on imitable detail. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised. Horror Strong threat and menace are permitted. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Drugs Drug taking may be shown but the film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse.
