Certification

Hey, All!

As an add-on to other admin we have to do pre-filming, we needed to decide what certificate our film is going to be. Following the certificates of our inspired films e.g. Legally Blonde, Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging and The Sleepover, we've chosen to age our film at 12. 

Our target audience is generally females between the ages of 14-25, but, the film isn't too inappropriate that we have to narrow the amount of people able to watch to only those over the age of 12. We didn't want to alienate the audience by including anything distasteful and everything shot within the opening two minutes is, according to the 12-certificate criteria, reasonable for a 12 audience and older. 




Our film would be classified as a 12 because:

  • There may be strong language (e.g. 'f***')
  • There is some allowance for puns on strong language at this category
  • There may be moderate language (e.g. uses of terms such as ‘bitch’ and ‘twat’ at 12 or 12A)
  • Verbal sex references should not go beyond what is suitable for young teenagers
  • Comedy may lessen the impact of some moderate sex references or innuendo
  • There may be nudity in 12A films but sexual nudity should only be brief and discreet
