Target Audience

As our film deals with the subjects of death and unstable relationships we didn't want to set the age limit too low, but none of these subjects are explored in great depth, things are only suggested and most of the time the audience can make up their own mind. Strong language appears only once and so we wanted to research the guidelines to see which bench mark our film fits into.

For a 12, the BBFC clearly states ''moderate language is allowed. The use of strong language (for example 'fuck') must be infrequent.'' They go on to say ''mature themes are acceptable, but their treatment must be suitable for young teenagers.''

For a 15, ''There may be frequent use of strong language (for example, ‘fuck’). The strongest  terms (for example, ‘c**t’) may be acceptable if justified by the context. Aggressive or repeated use of the strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable.'' and in terms of theme ''No theme is prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate for 15 year olds.''


After looking into the two categories we decided to give it certificate 12.
