The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) is responsible for reviewing and supplying a film or video (such as a TV programme or a music video.) with its age range and censorship. They categorise submitted works into the following: Universal, PG, 12, 12A, 15 ,18 ,R18 (Restricted 18). Universal means that its suitable for viewing from any age, PG means Parental guidance and would require a parent in order to watch it. the rest are the ages and above in which you can watch it and restricted 18 means its restricted in certain countries and can only be watched by 18 and higher.
I would classify our film as a 15 maximum because of the following. First of all, our film would contain a lot of swearing which falls under the language classification label and is already not appropriate for children meaning that the age range (which was already a 12) should be higher because the swearing is excessive.
Second of all, there are scenes which involve violence and conflict (otherwise known as threat in BBFCs classification labels). As we dive deeper into our characters memories we see violence episodes in flashbacks involving tools and maybe even bare hands (depending on the majority decision of the group. However, violence wont be involved in the trailer as we do not want to give too much away. Its designed to tease the audience as they are trying to figure out just what the film will be based on.
Another thing that will factor the 15 age range would be discrimination. Our main character is going to be living in the projects of London and considered to be in the lowest class of the economy class ( The E-class.) He is currently unemployed, living off benefits and an immigrant to the country leaving his friends and family behind. As he lives on an estate, we went with the stereotype that gangs and criminals like to associate there and because of this, our main character will the target of there harassment, bordering on verbal abuse and torment to outright assault.

Se7en
" A dark, stylish thriller ranks as one of the decade's most influential box-office successes. Set in a hellish vision of a New York-like city, where it is always raining and the air crackles with impending death, the film concerns Det. William Somerset (Morgan Freeman), a homicide specialist just one week from a well-deserved retirement. Every minute of his 32 years on the job is evident in Somerset's worn, exhausted face, and his soul aches with the pain that can only come from having seen and felt far too much. But Somerset's retirement must wait for one last case, for which he is teamed with young hotshot David Mills (Brad Pitt), the fiery detective set to replace him at the end of the week. A diabolical serial killer is staging grisly murders, choosing victims representing the seven deadly sins."
The director of the film was David Fincher, a brilliant director who has made such films such as Fight Club and the Social Network.
Seven (Also known as Se7en) has an impressive main cast, from iconic stars like Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt to Kevin spacey and Gwyneth Paltrow. It garnered high praised from critics and even earned a nomination for Best Film Editing at the 68th Academy Awards, but lost to Apollo 13.
The plot is based on the seven (hence the title) deadly sins ,Lust,Gluttony,Greed, Sloth,Wrath,Envy and Pride and how 7 gruesome murders are tied to them. Two Detectives, Dets. William somerset and David Mills are tasked with solving the case and eventually meet John Doe (Played by Kevin Spacey. he has committed every sin except for the last two: Envy and wrath. John reveals that he was jealous of Mills' life and marriage to Tracy. Mills keeps on asking whats in the box and it turns out to be his wife's head,although the head is never shown its just implied. Mills is beginning to be overcome with rage. John then tells Mills that Tracey was pregnant.This tips Mills over the edge and he decides to shoot John 6 times before dropping the gun in pain. Mills and John have now completed the seven deadly sins, signifying that John doe has won.
The plot was something never used before, and the story was told in an intriguing way similar to David Finchers unique story telling (See Memento if you don't believe me.)
Filming for the movie took place in Los Angeles, California. Fincher believed that the oppressive rain and crowded city of Los Angeles would show a city that was "dirty, violent, polluted, often depressing. and he worked with cinematographer Darius Khonji in order to make the film and took influences from the TV show, COPS "how the camera is in the backseat peering over people's shoulder".
Productions of the film came from New Line Cinemas who approached multiple talented actors for the role of William Somerset. Actors like Denzel Washington and Sylvester Stallone turned down the role, whilst actors like Al Pacino went on to do "City Hall" instead.
The ending of the play was almost taken away from the final cut, until multiple protests from Fincher and Brad Pitt persuaded the company to keep it. with multiple challenging themes, in hindsight I believed that the final ending fitted the film perfectly,
