We have decided that our psychological thriller will be rated a 15, meaning is suitable only for 15 years and over. We have decided this because our primary target audience age range is 16 to 21. It also fits into the criteria of a 15 rated film (using the BBFC website) this includes:
Another reason why we chose to rate our film a 15 is because most of the psychological thrillers we have studied, and reached have been rated a 15 or 18, and rarely are below this rating (12/12A for example). Due to this we decided that our film would not be suitable for persons under the age of 15, primarily due to the psychological damage of the protagonist that the audience is exposed to. As I mentioned, there are hardly any psychological thrillers that are rated PG our film also reflects this and would not be rated a 12 due to the following reasons:
- Our film may include some strong language (this is no aloud in a 12 rated film as stated by the BBFC)
- We may be using some scenes blood and and self harm during the film.
We believe that a 15 is the most suitable rating for our film 'Hightail' and we have decided not to rate our film an 18 due to the absence of sexual scenes - which is present may have meant we must higher the rating.
