LO4: Proposal for the certification of TIME TRAVEL KILLS

Time Travel Kills definitely aimed at a higher audience, typically males aged 15 to 25 years of age, and the film contains references to drugs, and one scene which contains very strong peril since it is suggested that a character is murdered to death with a baseball bat, which is a very gory concept. Therefore I would propose that the film's rating would be a 12  due to these references and dark ideas which are created in the audio visual product.

BBFC states that a 12 could contain an infrequent drug use, and although the character isn't taking a drug known to our reality, it could be interpreted as a metaphor for perhaps a hallucinogenic drug, since the time travel pill is taken orally in the same way most hallucinogenic drugs are taken. The "drug" however is not glamorised, and would actually more likely put the audience of wanting to take any sort of pill.

BBFC again states that a 12 can contain an amount of psychological and horrific threat, just as long as the entire film doesn't focus on a horrific tone, which I think is a fair descrition of my short film.

BBFC also states that the violence can only be gory when justified, however the violence in my short film is never gory at all, and instead leaves the gory details to the imaginiation.
