Ratings! 12A Vs.15

I feel that these are the two age ratings (12A & 15)that we could put our film out for, Obviously 18 would be one we could put it up for, but it would limit our audience.

1. The BBFC's website guideline says that in a '12A' there maybe strong language (e.g. F*ck), but it must be infrequent - this, i do not feel is enough leeway, as we were planning on making the film with more swear words, and discrimination.

1.  The BBFC's website guideline says that in a '12A' there - can moderate violence is allowed but it should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood, but occasional gory moments may be permitted if they can be justified by their context (for example brief sight of bloody injury in a medical drama). This I don't feel is at all what we would be wanting to show, as we had hoped to have a large emphasis on brutal murders.

1. The BBFC's website guideline says that in a '15' there can be Strong Violence - Our film will have some scenes of 'Strong Violence' so this seems to fit.
2. The BBFC's website guideline says that in a '15' there can be Strong Language (e.g. F*ck) - Our film will most definatley include this 'Strong Language' so this is perfect. For Example - Holy Sh*t, what the F*ck was that noise?
3. The BBFC's website guideline says that in a '15' Strong verbal references to sex are permissible - it is possible that in our film this will be the case. In the context of two friends or drunk people being boisterous.
4. The BBFC's website guideline says that in a '15' that discriminatory language or behaviour is allowed to be shown - This is also perfect as there will be discrimination present in our film given the time period. For Example - Those German Nazi B*stards.

So in conclusion I feel that rating our film at '15' would be ideal as it allows us to do all the things above and yet gets the film out to a large audience. So it is like the perfect mid point between rating it '12A', as that gives the views, and '18', as that gives the gore etc.
