BBFC Rating for 'The Wring'

Using the BBFC guidelines for the rating of films, we have decided to rate our film a '12'.

Here is the criteria for a 12 rated film from the BBFC website:

• In the rest of our film, there will be some scenes of mild violence. This means that it is not suitable for a 'PG' rating- and as the violence will not be very explicit, it will not be bad enough to make the film a '15' rating. There is a component of threat used within the film which correlates with the violent aspects, so the threat included will be unsuitable for viewers under 12 years old.

• Even though this specification allows the use of some strong language, there will be little to none included in our film. This particular element within the criteria does not apply to our film, however because of the violent scenes that will be included in the movie, there has to be a suitable rating for the overall film and so the violence and threat aspect will raise the age limit to a 12 rated film.

• There may be a hint of imitable behaviour, but this will be very limited in its context throughout the course of the film. One example of when imitable behaviour may be used is during some of the flashbacks when we are slowly finding out why the woman has been killed at the party. 

• The other terms have not influenced our decision of the rating of this film. This is because there is no nudity, sex, drugs or discrimination in the movie, therefore these points were not considered when we were looking at which rating we would give our film. 

In conclusion, the reason why my group and I have decided to rate our film a 12 (using the BBFC guidelines on their website) is because of the violence and threat which will be included in our film to help create the mood and atmosphere of the film according to our genre, which is a crime investigation thriller.
