RATING

I looked at the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) guidelines to choose an appropriate rating for our opening sequence. I came to the conclusion of a rating 15 as we would commonly use strong language like 'f***' and 'c***' etc as well as moderate language such as 'bitch' and 'twat' may be used to represent youth.
Also, as our film is about teens a stereotypical way to present them would be with some drug use, sex, strong violence and dangerous behaviour (hanging, suicide and self-harming) are acceptable under the rating of 15 however, it cannot be too detailed or unjustified and should not be glamorised. At some point in the movie there could be a fight at school or Leannecould self-harm herself which adds to a hardcore atmosphere.
