Ratings are based on how much bad language, discrimination, violence, sex and drugs in films. The more, the higher rating the film will receive. the guidelines are updated every four years.
The classifications are either a 'U', 'PG', '12/12a', '15', '18', 'R18'.
For thriller films, its highly unlikely a film will be rated under a 15 due to the footage in it.
15
A thriller film rated 15 will contain a certain amount of criteria which the BBFC will allow children under the age of 15 to watch it. No one younger than 15 may see a '15' in the cinema. Also, they cannot rent a '15' rated film.
18
If a film is rated an 18, no one under 18 can view the film within a cinema or rent/buy an '18' rated video. most thriller films are rated 18 because of the amount of violence and bad language used within the film.
Within our thriller film, we feel the rating for our film should be a 15. this is because it contains certain features such as violence. The violence in or clip is limited and there is only one scene which contains this. although this restricts the amount of thriller conventions we can apply to our film, we feel as if by classifying our film as '15' it will appeal to a greater audience.
