SECTION 3: BRAINSTORM OF CONTENT AND CLASSIFICATION OF FILM.

We have decided the certificate for 'Abduction' based on the bbfc guidelines on their website, particually what they say related to violence in a 15 rated film:

"Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the affliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic or sexualised violence is also unlikely to be acceptable. There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence but any portrayal of sexual violence must be discreet and have strong contexual justification".

'Abduction' does have strong violence in it and does not "dwell on the affliction of pain or injury". This is seen when the two men run and take the girl away viciously whilst she is screaming.

Relating to horror in 15 rated films, the guidelines also state that "strong threat and menace are permitted unless sadistic or sexualised.

The guidelines for 18 rated films did not talk in any more detail about some of the events in the film. That is why I thought a "15" rating was suitable for this film.

In my group, we had to discuss possible ideas for my thriller film and brainstorm them during a class disscusion. The image below shows detailed ideas of we came up with:
