What is the BBFC?
Catorgorise films by age, on what is acceptable for
each age category. (U-R18)
The certificate of our thriller opening will be..
15!!
This is because it is a action thriller meaning there will be
violence, but not explicit and gory which would be suitable for
an 18 certificate. As well as this ,by having a 15 certificate that
means our target audience of young adults would be able to
view it and engage with the story.
