Movie Ratings of Film



We decided that as a group our film mostly fitted the 15 ratings. This contains strong language such as the word "f***" which is present in the themes of terrorism and in terms of the bombs being included in the story.

On the official bbfc website it listed all of the components of a 15 film and if one of these things are included, it will then become a 15 in rating.

The list includes any of the following:
  •   strong violence
  •  frequent strong language (e.g. 'f***').
  •   portrayals of sexual activity
  •   strong verbal references to sex
  •   sexual nudity
  •   brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
  •   discriminatory language or behaviour
  •   drug taking

There are many more points highlighted on the official website: http://www.bbfc.co.uk/what-classification/15

The Script of Our Film


‘Untitled’
By CakeBox Productions

A bleak city landscape. The camera is following a man walking through the grey streets. He is wearing warm clothing indicating winter. Camera pulls focus in and out changing focus from him and the scenery around.

John(aside)-: I always wanted to be a police detective. I don’t know why.
Cut to next shot. Close-up match on action of Jon brushing past a building.
John(aside)-: Maybe it was the TV shows. The good cop always catching the bad guy and he somehow manages to rescue everyone at the end. Cool story.
                Cut to extreme close up of the Bomb Maker tinkering.
Cut back to John. Low angle shot like the camera is behind a car following the approach of John.
John(aside)-: No. It was a nice thought, though. Maybe one day I’ll get given a case where the killer is some idiot with a clear motive, prints at the scene, the works.
                Cut to extreme close up of the Bomb Maker’s mouth area. He slowly smiles.
                Cut to shot of traffic with muffled car noises allowing the monologue to be heard.
John(aside)-: That would be nice before I retire. That old cliché.
Shot of the back of John. He is looking down at traffic on an overpass. The sound of wind and traffic is muffled.
John(aside)-: Long time until that, unfortunately.
                Cut to two-shot. Another person approaches. It is John’s partner, Pedro La Guerta.
Pedro-: John?
John-: Pedro. What d’you need?
Pedro-: You at the station. Someone’s there claiming that they’ve set up a bomb in the city. They’re asking to speak to you personally.
                Close up of John as he replies.
John-: And here I thought that I could have the morning off.


Cut to main titles.
