Films that are have this certificate either on their poster, back of the DVD or before the film starts requires the audience to be over 18. For a film to be classed as a 18 certificate the would have to follow these guidelines;
Theme: There are no constraints at this level on theme.
Language: There are no constraints at this level on language.
Nudity: There are no constraints at this level on nudity.
Horror: There are no constraints at this level on horror
Violence: Any detailed portrayal of violent or dangerous acts which is likely to promote the activity is not allowed.
Drugs: This film can have drug use visible in the film however promoting it is not acceptable
Sexual activity: More explicit images of sexual activity cannot be shown unless they can be exceptionally justified by the context within the film. Anything more sexual is rated as an ‘R18’.
After reveiwing all of these certificate ratings and taking each one into account we decided to stick with the 15 rating as it is midway and allows us to target 18 year olds as well meaning little restrictions to age. We also thought 15 would be appropriate as we in our film there wont be scenes which would go against the guidelines set to a 15 certificate rating.
An exampole of an 18 certified movie would be: American Pie (1999)
