After researching the requirements of each set of age categories presented by BBFC, it was decided that our film opening scene will fall into the category of 12 or 15. This was determined as there is a slight dark theme to the film opening but there is no explicit violence, gore or sexual references and so would not need to be of a high rating. The reason that it could possibly be rated a 15 is because it may be seen as quite intense and the direction that the actual film would be going in would likely feature some kind of violence and strong language as the film is a horror.
Below are the descriptions for a 12 and a 15 BBFC classification.
12+ - viewers may only be over the age of 12 years old. There may be a moderate amount of strong language, sexual references or violence in these movies. A 12 rated movie will most likely have dark themes.
15+ - viewers may only be over the age of 15 years old. A 15 film will contain any of the following - strong violence, frequent strong language, sexual activity or references, nudity, discriminatory language or drug taking.
