Age Certificate

When rating films, examiners look mainly at three things:

• General context- plot, characters, outlines of each scene
• Timing of key moments- camera angles, type of shots
• Bad language, sex and drug references

We have decided that 'Here I Come' would be likely to have a 15 age certificate, due to strong language, intense levels of disturbance, presentations of threat and violence - which in research I found are the conditions of 15 rated films. I believe that if it received an 18 rating it would exclude a large portion of our young adult target audience, therefore a 15 would still appeal to a mass target audience, but would allow us to still include the conventions of a crime-thriller film.

With this in mind, we created a cinema style age certification page, warning viewers of the distressing trailer, as this is a convention of trailers in general. We used fonts which matched the bbfc one as much as possible, meaning our trailer was as realistic as we could make it. This will be shown at the beginning of our trailer, possibly in an interesting and unique way which links to the thriller genre. We are planning to use flickering effects and footage, so may be able to incorporate this with the age certification page.
