Certification
Our thriller movie has been given the certificate of 15. A 15 means only people who are aged 15 and over are allowed access to watch the film. We chose this certification as we did not want to lose the age group of 15-17; as we know that this age group make up a large percentage of regular cinema visitors.

Why our film is a 15?


Our film is rated a 15 because we are including an element of violence, possible drug use and sexual scenes. These categories are not appropriate for children under 15 as it could effect their innocence and corrupt them. The difference between a 15 and an 18 is that an 18 is basically limitless when it comes to restrictions in these categories. As our film is aimed at children as young as 15 its important that what we show is not impressionable, for example drug taking should not be made to look like a fun activity; but instead should only be shown for real purpose such as to build character background.
