Erika White researched the British Board of Certification rules for age ratings and determined that their film would qualify for a 15 rating based on its planned use of frequent strong language and discriminatory language or behavior. While these elements are allowed in a 15 rating, the film will not include stronger portrayals of sexual activity, sexual violence, horror, blood/gore or real sex scenes that could require an 18 rating. As an example, the film trailer cites Mr. and Mrs. Smith which received a 15 rating despite violence but little strong language.

2. Certification
 I researched on the British Board of Certification and looked up the rules
which apply to age 15 certification. In a 15 rated film you might see any of
the following:
 strong violence
 frequent strong language (e.g. 'f***').
 portrayals of sexual activity
 strong verbal references to sex
 sexual nudity
 brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
 discriminatory language or behaviour
 drug taking

3. Other ratings
 By looking at the list of what may apply in a 15 rated film I think we would
choose to rate it 15. Main reason being is that we will use frequent strong
language and discriminatory language or behaviour. However we chose not to
rate our film any higher (18 or 18R) because we won’t be using:
 strong portrayals of sexual activity
 scenes of sexual violence
 strong horror
 strong blood and gore
 real sex (in some circumstances)

4. Mr. and Mrs. Smith
 This is one of our chosen inspirational film trailers. We chose this film
because it’s very similar to our narrative/storyline. This film is a 15
certification, with very little strong language but a lot of violence. Our film
will be of the same elements which is why we feel that a 15 rating is
acceptable.

we will be including in our film trailer.
