We did some research into the BBFC classification system to help us specify an appropriate target audience. As the plot involves drugs, alcohol and depression the group was split as to where the target audience should be placed. I personally thought initially that the film would be aimed at 18+, however this is what the BBFC say on the portrayal of drugs:
![]()
12/12A: "Drugs- Any misuse of drugs must be infrequent and should not be glamorised or give instructional detail."
![]()
15: "Drugs - Drug taking may be shown but the film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse. The misuse of easily accessible and highly dangerous substances (for example, aerosols or solvents) is unlikely to be acceptable."
![]()
18: "Drugs - where material or treatment appears to the BBFC to risk harm to individuals or, through their behaviour, to society – for example, any detailed portrayal of violent or dangerous acts, or of illegal drug use, which may cause harm to public health or morals."
