Ratings

The BBFC's Guidelines state that strong language like f*** etc, has to be uncommon at '12' or '12A' - puns on strong language is allowed although moderate language like 'bitch' and 'twat' are allowed to be used at non regular intervals.

In our film some moderate language may be used to express feelings and anger between characters. For example - Stop being such a twat.At '12' and '12A' moderate violence is allowed but it cannot be too detailed. They should be no gory moments.For example - There could be arguments and tension between friends and family but no major 'hiccups'.Dangerous behaviour (for example hanging, suicide and self-harming) may be present in ‘12’ or ‘12A’ works but will not dwell on detail which could be copied or present those activities as pain or harm free. Weapons should not be glamorised in ‘12A’ and ‘12’ works. Discriminatory behaviour should not be endorsed by the film as a whole.

There may be infrequent sight of drugs misuse in a ‘12’ or a ‘12A’ but the portrayal should not be glamorised or provide instructional details.


Our film may contain some moderate to strong language due to some scenes involving characters being angry or hurt by others. This may lead onto scenes of distress but no actual violence.
