The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) are a company which give each film its certificate. As we are aiming to make our horror film a 15 certificate, this will suit our target audience of 'teen horror' I have done some research into what can and can't show in our horror opening, using the the BBFCs website (http://www.bbfc.co.uk/)
A 15 certificate film is a film which can only be viewed by 15 and overs at the cinema or brought or rented. The film must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour. Drug taking may be shown in the film but must not promote or encourage drug missuse, and the misuse of highly dangerous and easily acessable drugs such as solvents is unlikely to be accepted. Horror is allowed aslong as the horror isnt sadistic or sexualised. If imitable behaviour is shown it must not be glamorised and the film should not dwell on detail allowing people to be able to understand how to perform these acts on themselves. Strong language may be allowed aslong as their is not frequent use of the words and their is not use of the more stronger words. Their are no constrants on nudity in a 15 certificate film. Sexual activity may be portrayed with too much detail, and sexual acts may be spoke about, however the stronger references are unlikely to be accepted unless justified by the context. Strong violence is allowed in the film but as with the other titles the film cannot focus on the content for too long or go into detail.
With all this detail taken into account i believe our horror film will definatly not exceed the 15 certificate limit.
