Violence- Sexual Nature and Nudity
- Drug and Alcohol use
- Use of Language
- Genre
Because our film only contains mild violence with some bad language, and has a thriller genre, we decided to give it a certificate of 15, which means it is illegal for any one under the age of 15 to watch it. This is because it is not overly distressing to teenagers who might see it, but some parents may have an objection to their younger children viewing it due to the nature of certain scenes and occasional swearing.
On the other hand, the ratings often depend on the messages and morals portrayed by the films, and if there are clear messages in them the rating is often lower. For the trailer we decided to give it a lower rating so it could be viewed by a larger number of people. To do this we used little violence and showed no bad language which brought the certificate down to a PG (Parental Guidence). This means that the trailer can be viewed by children of any age, but it is advised that a parent or guardian is present as they may not wish their children to view certain scenes. Because of this, it would allow us to advertise on a broader scale which would increase our sales figures overall.
Film classifications differ between regions and each will have their own film classification board which will decipher the certificates for individual films. Films that may be rated PG in the USA could be rated 12 in the UK for example
