Certification

We decided the certificate of the film would be a 12, using the BBFC's guidelines on the rating films I decided this would be the most appropriate rating. Our film will follow mature themes and contain some moderate violence.

We decided a lower rating would greatly reduce the amount of freedom within the film and would mean more mature adult themes would not be viable. However if we pushed the film up to a 15 certificate this would be completely unnecessary and unused by the film, for example we would have no need for the more in depth violence etc. as this can all be heavily suggested anyway and sometimes not showing violent acts and self harm as examples can be more powerful than showing them.
