Age rating

12
These films are not suitable for children under 12. This may be because it contains language that is deemed unsuitable for people under this age. Strong language may be accepted into this category depending on the manner it is used and who is using it. Moderate language such as the term 'bitch' is allowed into this category.
Any discriminatory language in the film cannot be endorsed and any aggressive discrimination won't be taken into the category unless it is condemned.
Moderate violence is allowed in this category but shouldn't dwell on the detail of the violence. There should be no emphasis on blood and any gory moments should e rare and must be justified by the context. Weapons can be shown in this category and the fight scenes can be long. any weapons that are easily accessible to 12 year olds should not be glamorized (e.g. knives).

15
These films are not suitable for anyone under the age of 15. These films are allowed to contain frequent strong language, strong violence, drug taking and discriminatory language.
No theme is prohibited as long as the way it is implemented is suitable for people aged 15. At 15 any discriminatory language must not be endorsed and strong sadistic violence is not accepted. Dangerous behavior or things such as suicide and self-harming won't be dwelled on at this category.

18
Films with this rating are only suitable for people over 18. They are very unlimited as to the content of the films as they can contain very strong violence and language with an emphasis on aggression, strong horror or threat, strong blood and gore and discriminatory behaviour and language. If the content of the film is deemed illegal or harmful it can be banned. Any extreme sexual content and sex works are confined to the R18 (Restricted 18) category. Any drug use in the film must not promote or encourage drug misuse.



Our film
Our opening scene would probably be rated 15. This would be a good rating for the film as it allows violent content and strong language, while still being able to target the age range that is intended and most interested in the film.

Initial storyboard

This is our first draft of the storyboard. After we have finalized the plot we will draw up a neater version of the storyboard. This is based off of the brain storm that i posted earlier.
