  1. BBFC Classification All classification decisions are based on the BBFC’s published and regularly updated Guidelines. The British Board of Film Classification is an independent, non-governmental body which has classified cinema films since it was set up in 1912 and videos/ DVDs since the Video Recordings Act was passed in 1984. http://www.bbfc.co.uk/about-bbfc

  2. 12A means that anyone aged 12 or over can go and see the film unaccompanied. The A stands for 'accompanied' and 'advisory'. Children younger than 12 may see the film if they are accompanied by an adult (eg someone over the age of 18), who must watch the film with them. The 12 certificate is just for videos, DVDs and Blu-rays.  12A is for films at the cinema only. may be strong language (eg 'f***') at 12 or 12A, but it must be infrequent. Sex may be briefly and discreetly portrayed at 12 or 12A

We could have selected 18 to be our age classification but we didn’t because we wanted to be reached out to those between 16-18 as this is a age group who be more likely to watch the film as they are in their teenagers years and more active to go out. Also, 18 just focuses on adults rather than the younger teenagers. This means that any under the age of 18 are forbidden to view or watch the film, which could have a negative impact on how successful we are to reached our audience e. So, we have decided to make our thriller opening the age classification of……
