Differences between a 15 certificate and a 18 certificate

The diffrences are huge. The majority of 15 films is that they have a selective theme to follow, however at the same time must be allowed to show exquisite clips for a 15 year old to watch. Another point is that language has to be appropriate as it could cause inappropriate feelings, occasionly some strong language can be used depending on the circumstances of the however in a 15 certificate film no strong detail is put across screen. Violence is usually used alot in thriller based films, as this i what most people like to endure in thrillers. Film directors have to so careful when using props too, as weapons such as swords, guns, knives are so heavy influenced on modern day society so this is not put upon too much. However the main focus for this category would be threatening, and disturbance, not vital scenes of murdered bodies shown, with weapons being used upon them as this would be unnecesdsary to this wave band.

However, if we look at a 18 certificate thriller film some of the perspectives change, where as directors would include shots with sexual content to a certain extent, giving it that extra 'thrill'. also more weapons are allowed to be used yet again to a certain extent, for exmaple you wouldnt see it being used, but perhaps the shadow of a knife against a wall to indicate to the audience what is going to happen. Violence steps up a little bit and is shown to have a big impact on a thriller. Without these sort of procedures in a thriller, it wouldnt be exciting to watch, it wouldnt have the thrill in which people want to watch.

So there are many differences within reason. Which i think is fair to say, once you turn 18 your an adult, and this is significant as youth these days are influenced more easily into pretend scenes in films.
