Certificate

We have chosen to set this film as an 18 as from the start there will be scenes of drug taking which isn’t suitable for under 18, In the background of there will be gambling and maybe violence if a fight breaks out, it is also set in a pub with scenes of drinking, all this accumulates to an 18 certificate set by the British board of film classification.

An 18 certificate film involves:

• Where the material is in breach of the criminal law, or has been created through the commission of a criminal offence

• Where material or treatment appears to the BBFC to risk harm to individuals or, through their behaviour, to society – for example, any detailed portrayal of violent or dangerous acts, or of illegal drug use, which may cause harm to public health or morals. This may include portrayals of sexual or sexualised violence which might, for example, eroticise or endorse sexual assault

• Where there are more explicit images of sexual activity which cannot be justified by context. Such images may be appropriate in ‘R18’ works, and in ‘Sex works’ would normally be confined to that category.
In the case of video works (including video games), which may be more accessible to younger viewers, intervention may be more frequent than for cinema films.
