The British Board of Film Classification awards and decides an age rating and content warning for film certificates. The BBFC consults and decides on the age rating of a film to ensure that the content of the film is age appropriate and suitable for children or young people.
I researched how the BBFC classifies films by studying their website. From this I learned that a 15 certificate may contain threat and horror and allows violence to be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. Due to our film containing mild threat and a few scenes containing mild violence, we classified it as a 15. We also aimed our film at 15-35 years old which reasoned us to construct our film to fit into the category that this audience would relate to. The next age classification up is an 18 which which is regarded as containing 'sadistic threat'; we felt that this does not reflect our film. I created my BBFC certificate for our film using Adobe Photoshop and a template that I found on the internet.
You have done well here, creating the BBFC certificate after researching the different categories on their website and arriving at a considered decision.
