Classification Research

For our film; Watched we would have given a 15 classification however, when we researched the guidelines for this classification is stated that 'Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised.' In our film one of the main weapons which would be used towards the end of the film is an ordinary kitchen knife which is an accessible weapon for all ages and because of this we changed our classification to an 18.

We will be aware of these guidelines below when creating our opening sequence:

18 classification guidelines;

-doesn't breach any area of crime or has been created through the commission of a criminal offence.

-the material used in the film doesn't present a risk to individuals and their morals or their behaviour within society.

-use of explicit images of sexual contact which cannot be justified by the context.


In our opening sequence or the film we will not be using any sexual contact which could not be justified by the context but we will still be keeping our classing our film as an 18 due to the use of crime and weapons.
