Certificate 18

We decided to change the certificate of our film because of the context of horror, it could cause nightmares on the audience and as it is a psychological thriller it may cause confusion on an audience aged 15 and above. Some of the conventions of a thriller that has been certificated 18 are manly to do with how big an effect it will have on the audience. We think that due to the fact that our film is set in an environment people can relate to it could cause disturbance to them. Another reason we changed the certificate to 18 is because 15 year olds still go to school and the opening of our film is set in a school so it could disturb them s much that it effects their education or day to day life.
