Industry regulations

The BBFC age restrictions guidelines to show what age is acceptable to be watching a certain film, the age categories go from U to R18, this shows that any age can watch a U film, while an R18 film is for 18+ only because of the adult content.

While researching age ratings i have found out that the majority of thrillers are age rated 15. This is because of violence and strong language included in the film. There are some 12A graded thrillers out there, this means that 12+ can watch but 10/11 year old can watch it with a responsible adult so this will be the adults choice whether or not to take this child. This will help us pick which age we are aiming for our audience so we are not picking and/or showing the wrong audience the wrong things. We think that 12A is too young for our film for our task so we are thinking of picking age rating 15 for it.
