Research For Our Opening

BBFC research..
As we have decided to do a horror film opening, relating the idea of "dolls", it would be more of a psychological thriller rather than a gory horror. This is why we have decided in the age rating to be 15. If it were to be an 18, it would have much more blood, swearing and violence in. Although as dolls don't really bleed, the only blood will be from the victims.


Through research, we looked at other films similar to our idea- such as "Annabelle"  which is also a 15.




These are all the possible film classifications we could have chosen...

The U symbol stands for Universal. This shows that the film should be suitable for all ages over the age of 4 years old. 

This is a screen shot I got from the BBFC website. This shows how violence doesn't really appear in a U. 

The reason our film opening would defiantly not be a U is because it would be very likely to upset ages below around 14- depending on the individual. 

Films classify as a U include...

Disney films are most likely rated at a U. This just supports the point that our film can't be a U. 

PG stands for Parental guidance. A PG film shouldn't unsettle a child aged 8 years or above. It's the parents who can decide whether it is suitable for their child- a parent had to be present with very young viewers.

Horror films wouldn't be considered as a PG. Thus making our film not suitable for a PG.

Even though horror films can be a 12, as shown above, the horror can't be too frequent- this wouldn't work with our ideas because otherwise it wouldn't create enough tension which is needed. 

As shown at the top of this blog post, this is the age we are classifying our film as a 15.

We do not want our film to be classified as an 18 because we do not want it so that it is a "sustained threat". We also don't think it would be a good idea idea to make it unseeable for those aged around15.
