Film Certificate before questionnaire


Certificate Classification for The Forgotten Truth






Our film The Forgotten Truth idea we believe to be the film classification of a 12A. This is because the audience my feel like there is a dark unsettling tone to the story as Damian kills his wife and then himself. I believe that our film The Forgotten Truth will be a 12A  as there will be weapons used during the killings and there will be blood and cuts shown however, there will not be any gory.

The exact classification path that films must follow is by the BBFC. There definition of a 12A is  'The overall tone of a film or video, and the way it makes the audience feel may affect the classification. For example, a work which has a very dark or unsettling tone which could disturb the audience would be less likely to be passed 12A even if the individual issues in the film were considered acceptable under the BBFC Guidelines.' 
12A, 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).
Action sequences and weapons may be present at 12A or 12, and there may be long fight scenes or similar. Weapons which might be easily accessible to 12 year olds (such as knives) should not be glamorised in 12A and 12 works.

Other BBFC information on 12A certificates.
