Film Ratings

To prevent the display of inappropriate content to younger audiences, all film are rated. This rating system is generally divided into 6 categories; U, PG, 12A, 12, 15 and 18. I believe my thriller, Breath, will be rated a 12, due to its mild violence and threat. Despite it being a kidnapping, carefully selected material will mean there will be no excessive violence and gore, making it suitable for children aged 12 or over. I did this to broaden my target audience in an attempt to make it more widely available and successful. Below are the guidelines on which I based my decision, found on www.bbfc.co.uk.
