15 Certificate

The brief states that the trailer will be shown in cinemas showing films that have been given a 15 or 18 certificate. I researched the restrictions of a 15 certificate film.

Theme: Any theme as long as the treatment is appropriate for 15 year olds to watch.
Language: Frequent strong language is accepted. However, the strongest language is only rarely accepted. Continued aggressive use of strong language is not accepted.
Nudity: Nudity is accepted as long as it is non-sexual or educational.
Sex: Sexual activity is accepted as long as it is not in strong detail. Casual sex should be portrayed responsibly. Strong verbal references to sex may be accepted.
Violence: Strong violence is accepted as long as it does not just show infliction of pain. Sexual violence must be brief and handled tactfully.
Imitable techniques: Dangerous combat techniques are unlikely to be accepted. Emphasis on the use of easily accessible weapons is not accepted.
Horror: Detailed infliction of pain and injury are not accepted.
Drugs: Drug taking can be shown. However, clear detail of drug taking is not accepted. Films cannot promote drug use.
