The document discusses deciding on an appropriate film certificate for a movie based on its storyline and target audience. It provides information on what types of content are allowed in 12A and 15 rated films according to the British Board of Film Classification. After reviewing the 12A and 15 descriptions, the document determines the film would fit under a 12A certificate since it contains discrimination, strong language, and sexual references, but no drugs, violence or sexual violence.

1. What certificate
would our film be?
We had to take into
consideration both our storyline
and target audience in order
to decide what certificate our
film should be. In order to do
this I did some research into
certification. From the 'bbfc'
thesis what I discovered:

2. What is a 12A film?
12A: Films under this category can contain mature themes,
discrimination, soft drugs, infrequent strong language and moderate
violence, sex references and nudity. Sexual activity may be briefly and
discreetly portrayed. Sexual violence may be implied or briefly
indicated.

3. What is a15 film?
15: Films under this category can contain adult themes, hard drugs,
regular use of foul language and limited use of very strong language,
strong violence and strong sex references, and nudity without graphic
detail. Sexual activity may be portrayed but without any strong detail.
Sexual violence may be shown if discreet and justified by context.

4. What would our film be?
Looking at this I felt our film would fit into the 12A bracket. This is because
the film uses no drug, violence or sexual violence references. However in
saying this there is discrimination, frequent strong language and also
sexual references. It is beneficial to us that our film fits into the bracket of
12A as opposed to 15 as this only broadens our target audience.
