The BBFC

The BBFC stands for the "British board of film classification'.
 The BBFC are responsible for putting the age certification on films, it may be:

U - Suitable for all
PG - Parental Guidance
12A or 12 - suitable for aged 12 and over.
15 - suitable for aged 15 and over
18 - suitable for adults.

Each certification has set of guidelines to meet in order to be in that age range, as the age increases the more guidelines there are.

Our chosen age certificate is a 15. we decided to choose this because the content within our opening sequence didn't fit the 12 certification guidelines due to the fact that our sequence contains firstly moderate violence, then theme; mature themes that are acceptable for young teenagers. finally imitable behaviour; this is dangerous behaviour that could be copied. And easily accessible weapons should not be glamorized.
