BBFC Research: Short Film Rating

I've mentioned in my previous presentations and in former posts, how I decided that my film ought to be aimed at an audience of 13 years and over. Having now gone through the BBFC's guidelines for each classification, my film should be classified under a 15 rating. Although the content bridges over the 12 and 15 rating, the fact I use both strong language and a weapon and implement these into my short, it would thus be unsuitable for those under 15. Similarly, the film doesn't have enough strong and explicit content to make it harmful for those under 18 years. Therefore the classification rating for my my short film, Derange, will be 15.

In addition to this, from looking at the UK's demographic classification of media and it's relation to the ABC1 grading, I would provide my film with a social grade of B, C1 and D, meaning I intend to aim it individuals within the middle class, lower middle class and working class.
