Reconsidered Certification

We have decided to alter the certification of our Teaser Trailer to an 18, due to the mature themes and dark nature of the trailer. After doing research, we discovered that the theme of drugs is more relevant to 18-21 year olds and is a very serious issue. Because the audience is intended to be active, it is up to them to think for themselves when they view the film and we felt as though 15 year olds weren't the right target audience.

Our Trailer does not promote nor encourage drug use, although at the negative effects are not explicit until the second half of the trailer- which may mean it is not suitable for under 18s. Although our teaser trailer has no strong language, it is likely our film would as it is a hybrid between a Social Realism and a Psychological Thriller and it is a convention often adhered to in both genres. Our teaser trailer is comprised of a multitude of close ups of drugs, and overall, drugs are explicit throughout.
