Age rating

According to the BBFC, there are many factors which can lead to a film being categorised as a 15 age rating. I feel as though our film would be appropriately classes as a 15 because of it's story line. Although there is no presence of violence, nudity or anything graphically inappropriate for younger viewers, the topic of kidnapping is one which older viewers may find disturbing. Presence of violence would limit our plot because our antagonist's motive is that he loves the girl, meaning he would cause no harm to her purposely and the trailer features nobody trying to save her, meaning violence is not present.

Imitable behaviour - Dangerous behaviour (for example, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on detail which could be copied. Whether the depiction of easily accessible weapons is acceptable will depend on factors such as realism, context and setting.

Our production dwells on the act of kidnapping and could be kidnapped to an extent. For this reason the film is worthy of a 15 age rating in this sense.

Threat - There may be strong threat and horror. A sustained focus on sadistic or sexual threat is unlikely to be acceptable.The beginning of our production consists of Henry saying "they will learn to Love Me". This is not a direct threat but has connotations that he will influence people in some way, which could be perceived as threatening.
