8. What certificatewould yourproduct be?
9. Our product would be a 15 as if it was madeinto a film it
would include disturbing sceneswhich would push it from a 12A to a
15 Our product wouldnt pass as a 12A becausethe BBFC website states
a work which has avery dark or unsettling tone which coulddisturb
the audience would less likely to bepassed as a 12AHOWEVER
10. The title sequence on its own could pass as a 12Abecause:
It allows scenes of blood and injury (briefly) Moderate and
psychological threat is permitted (aslong as horror scenes are not
frequent) It includes no strong language It includes no sexual
scenes or activity or violence It includes no discrimination It can
allow moderate violence as long as its notdwelled upon.. The chase
scene in our sequencecould be scene as moderate violence
