our classification-Behind Black Eyes.

Guidelines.jpg15certificate.png
quotation_marks_66.png    15 – Suitable only for 15 years and over
No one younger than 15 may see a ‘15’ film in a cinema. No one younger than 15 may rent or buy a ‘15’ rated video work.
Discrimination
The work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour.
Drugs
Drug taking may be shown but the film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse. The misuse of easily accessible and highly dangerous substances (for example, aerosols or solvents) is unlikely to be acceptable.
Horror
Strong threat and menace are permitted unless sadistic or sexualised.
Imitable behaviour
Dangerous behaviour (for example, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on detail which could be copied. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised.
Language
There may be frequent use of strong language (for example, ‘fuck’). The strongest terms (for example, ‘cunt’) may be acceptable if justified by the context. Aggressive or repeated use of the strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable.
Nudity
Nudity may be allowed in a sexual context but without strong detail. There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context.
Sex
Sexual activity may be portrayed without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour, but the strongest references are unlikely to be acceptable unless justified by context. Works whose primary purpose is sexual arousal or stimulation are unlikely to be acceptable.
Theme
No theme is prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate for 15 year olds.
Violence
Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic or sexualised violence is also unlikely to be acceptable.
There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence but any portrayal of sexual violence must be discreet and have a strong contextual justification.    quotation_marks_99.png-- Taken from the BBFC website.




  After reading through the guidelines and the criteria for specific film certificates and after going through our own production and comparing our footage with the requirements, we have come to the decision to rate our thriller a 15. Our production 'Behind Black Eyes' would be at the weaker end of a 15 rating as it doesn't contain any strong language as stated above,  however; it does contain imitable behaviour such as smoking which can also be considered as dangerous behaviour as it is damaging to health, thus it is not glamourised. this is due to the fact that we can clearly understand that the female character is distressed, therefore not promoting the habit.
  No nudity is contained in our production. this means that do not have to worry about ensuring that it is in context to make it acceptable to our viewing audience.
