Firstly, we haven't exactly decided if we will use strong language in our OTS because we haven't completed the script so there is no telling yet. However it is most likely that there will be strong language because this will be in keeping with the overall tone of the OTS that we are trying to create for it. For this reason the rating for our film would ideally be a 15. This is because the strongest word that might be used is 'F**k' and would not be mentioned too much. The reason why this would have a 15 rating certificate is because the British Board of Film Classification allows no restrictions on the amount of strong language used in a 15 film, although the word 'C**t't is allowed to be used a few times, it can't be used too much or in an aggressive manner because it would take the rating up to an 18. We aren't too concerned about this because it isn't likely we'll use that word.
Something else that would affect the age rating is the gore. We plan on having two characters playing recently killed dead bodies in the the OTS and for this we need to have them a bit bloodied up. We also plan on having a character who's been shot and survives, and who's wound will be clearly visible and hopefully quite graphic as well. For those reasons I reckon the rating for it won't need to be over a 15.
