The British Board of Film Classification(BBFC), is a non-governmental organization, founded by the film industry. It is responsible for the national classification and censorship of films within the United Kingdom. This means that they chose what certificate is appropriate for different films. For example, films that are suitable for young children, usually four years and above would be given the certificate 'U' which stands for Universal. 'PG' stands for Parental Guidance which means that there may be some part of the film unsuitable for children to watch unaccompanied. '12A' means 12 Accompanied; a child must be with an adult if they are 12 years or around that age. The rest of the certificates are ages that you must be to view the film such as 12, 15 and 18. R18 means restricted 18.
The certificate the we believe would be most suitable for our Opening Sequence is a 15. A 15 film allows Any of the following: strong violence, frequent strong language , portrayals of sexual activity, strong verbal references to sex, sexual nudity, brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence, discriminatory language or behavior,drug taking.
The reason for choosing this certificate for our piece as it contains relatively strong language and references to sex.
