Horror	Mild and infrequent and unlikely to cause a young child stress, the end result also needs to be a ‘happy ending’. To reassure the child.	Horror sequences should be short however fantasy horror can be mild but not to a frightening degree.	Disturbing sequences allowed however these need to be moderate and not for the whole film.

                After finding out the boundaries for film ratings according to the bbfc, I have decided to estimate what our film would be rated at based upon the 2 minute opening. Our footage features no, sex, drugs discrimination nudity or language. Our horror sections would be either a 15, as there is serious threat to the main character. Our violence would be either a 12 or a 15, as our main character gets stabbed 3 times, before being left in a bath filled with water. However, the knife is never seen going into the victim, making the scene milder than originally thought. As the theme of the film is about a serial killer murdering innocent teenage victims, our film would probably get a rating of 15 for this section. Overall I think our film would be rated as a 15 by the bbfc, due to horror and mature themes.
