Thriller Film Classifications

The thriller film certification is never made under a 12/12a. The reason for this is due to the narratives involving strong content that is unsuitable for a younger audience. This includes content that portrays language or behavior that is discriminating, this could be things such as suicide and self-harming.


We have decided our thriller project will be a classification 15, mainly because it will allow us to be more creative in our content with less constrictions. This may include use of strong language, dangerous behavior with not too much detail. Violence may also be strong but will not dwell upon the infliction of pain. 


The reason ours will not be an 18 is because we produce the high standard that is expected of a thriller with the classification 18. The conventions we will use cannot be portrayed to the same level as this classification does, due to the high technology we wont be able to use. Our thriller also won't include breach of criminal laws and which treatment appears to harm in detail.
