Audience Rating

I decided to look into audience age rating, I found that the age rating of a film is set by the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification). The organisation is non government and was first established in 1912 and is responsible for the national classification of films within the UK.

We need to take into consideration the age rating of what our opening will be, 15? 18? We are currently un-decisive however after storyboarding of the film, it does look like the film will roughly be in the 15 age rating scale.

When it comes to film being shown in cinemas the power is actually delegated to local authorities to decide whether the film be shown or not.

Most notably, The Exorcist was banned regardless of its X rating (essentially the same as an 18 rating today). Also Monty Pythons Life of Brian was also banned by 39 local authorities despite its AA rating (14+).
