Once we had
completed our film what we had to do was decide individually what age
certificate we thought it should be given, if it was to be made into a full
length film. I went online to the BBFC (British Board Of Film Classification)
website and found their guidelines to giving a film a age certificate.
Since our film is a physiological thriller we knew that it would contain some scenes of a sexual nature, violence and strong language so it would definitely not be appropriate for a U or a PG, however after looking at the requirements for a 12 and a 12A it would not be suitable for that rating either:

The two possible options for our film would be a 15 or an 18, so I looked at the requirements for a 15 first to see what it contains:
From looking at the elements for a 15 and an 18 I have come to the conclusion that our film should be given the certificate of a 15, this is because although we may have to reduce our limits to what we would have wanted to include in our film, making the certificate an 18 may reduce our audiences and may mean that our box office sales will be a lot less than if it was a 15.
