BBFC rating

The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) is an organisation that decides that on the age rating and restriction that should be given to each and every film. The majority of thriller films are having a BBFC rating of a 15, with exceptions of some 18’s. This is because they normally show some graphic scenes that would be unsuitable to show to a younger age audience. I believe that my film should also be rated around a 15 as the whole finished film would include various graphic scenes and should only be suitable for people over the age of 15. Even in my opening two minutes of my film I already have a knife pressed up against the cheek of another character, which might already be to disturbing for some people under the age of 15. Therefore, given the trend of most thriller films and the content that the film would include I think that it is justified that my film should be rated 15.
