Age Rating

Our film will need an age rating that will inform the viewer what to expect, and whether there is anything unsuitable for children. We have looked at the different age ratings below and outlined what each of them means. We will then decide upon our rating based on this, and this information will go on our trailer, poster and website.

U Universal: All ages, nothing unsuitable.
PG Parental Guidance: All ages, some scenes may be unsuitable for children.
12 12: Nobody younger than 12 can buy or rent - may contain mature themes, discrimination, soft drugs, moderate swear words, infrequent strong language and moderate violence, sex references and nudity.
15 15: Only those over 15 can buy/rent- may contain adult themes, hard drugs, frequent strong language and limited use of very strong language, strong violence and strong sex references, and nudity without graphic detail.
18 18: Only adults admitted - can contain hard drugs, explicit sex references with detail, strong, gory and/or sadistic violence usually permitted, strong sexual violence.

After looking at these classifications, we believe our film would be a 15. This is due to the occasional violent scenes and strong language.
