Certificate Rating

According to BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) guidelines 'Roads' would be an age rating of 15. Our target audience ranges from 15 to 30 year olds so it would be appropriate to have this rating. However, having this limitation would mean that we as a production company gain fewer profits as no one younger than 15 may rent or buy a 15 rated video work or enter into a 15 film in a cinema. This does not concern us significantly though as we understood our film was for a niche market and by advertising our mature themes and most branding it as having low-key explicit content it may intrigued a wider audience. 

It has been rated this as our film could potentially show representations of:

• discriminatory language or behaviour
• the misuse of easily accessible and highly dangerous substances
• the consumption of drugs (although our film does not encourage nor promote the use of drugs, it may contain information about how to use drugs for recreational purposes)
• imitable behaviour
• strong language
• some sexual activity
• some violence and threat 
  All of these feature of a 15 rated film are also important to our product as the use of strong language, reckless behaviour, drugs, sex, violence will add to the comedy of the genre while still expressing how these have affected this teenage girl's life. Some of these features may not have been exposed in the opening sequence of the film that we have made, however, after considering the rest of the film, I have a strong idea they may include it.
