Though most short films are not shown in cinemas, our group have agreed that we should decide on a BBFC classification rating for our product. Hopefully in the near future short films will be shown before features in cinemas, allowing young, budding directors and scree
nplay writers to make themselves known. Should this or something similar develop, short films will have to be rated within a particular age range.
After finishing our storyboard and having a clear image in our minds of how our film will look and feel, we decided to discuss the rating. Though our film will most likely not contain swearing, as it usually sounds tacky and forced in low-budget films, we agreed that the tone of the film would push it above a rating of 12. Dealing with death and themes of identity and masculinity, the film will be too advanced for younger viewers, and our target audience ranges from late teens to mid-adults. Therefore we agreed as a group to rate our film a 15. We decided that a rating of 18 would be too high, as there is no strong bloody violence or hard drug use – typical features in 18 rated films.
By rating our film a 15, it would obviously allow a larger age range of people to see it and hopefully get better distribution.
