Regulation research

Regulation research

BBFC stands for 'British board of film classification'.

How does classification work:
 In order to protect children from unsuitable and even harmful content in films and videos and to give consumers information they might need about a particular film or video before deciding whether or not to view it, the BBFC examines and age rates films and videos before they are released.

There are a few different certifications. Such as.

U- The U symbol stands for Universal. 

PG -PG stands for Parental Guidance. 

12 & 12A- 12A means that anyone aged 12 or over can go and see the film unaccompanied. The A stands for 'accompanied'.

15- No-one under 15 is allowed to watch.

18-Films rated 18 are for adults.



The certificate of my film is 15.



This means that no-one under 15 is allowed to see a 15 film at the cinema or buy/rent a ‘15’ rated DVD.  15 rated works are not suitable for children under 15 years of age.
15 works are stronger than 12 or 12A rated works and could include any of the following:
strong violence frequent strong language, portrayals of sexual activities strong verbal references to sex sexual nudity brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence discriminatory language or behavior drug taking. However, our film cannot contain Gory horror, strong sexual nudity or strong bloody violence. This is because it is inappropriate for the target audience that our film is aimed at. 
Our film will be contain mild violence, it won't be as gory as a horror film. It doesn't contain any sexual nudity or sexual violence.

From doing this regulation research i have learnt about the different age restriction and which ages is appropriate to different film/ programs.

I have also learnt about what is appropriate to go in our film. This has helped alot while making our film because it tell us what is and isnt allowed in the film and what makes it good for the age we are aiming it at.
