The BBFC controls the age ratings of films that enter the Uk. They decide what ages are appropriate for the content inside the film. These ratings are very important for the safety of the views because if a 5 year old was to watch saw they could be scared and mentally distorted at night, this could cause the film producers a lot of problems.
These are all the different types of film certifications:
- Universal - people of all ages can view this film and all content is suitable. An example of this is the Jungle Book.
- Parental Guides - people of all ages can watch it but some scenes may not be suitable for certain ages because of mild language or moderate language. An example is Enchanted
- 12A - only people over the age of 12 can view this film unless accompanied by and adult. These films can contain mild drug references, moderate violence, sex maybe discretely portrayed. The first 12 A was the first Spider-Man.
- 12 - 12 have the same guide lines as 12A apart from 12 year olds do not need an adult with them at the time to view the film.
- 15 - no one younger than 15 is permitted to watch these films. These films may contain; hard drugs, frequent strong language,limited use of very strong language, strong violenc and sex, nudity is discreet.
- 18 - no one younger then 18 is allowed to watch. These films may contain; bad language, hard drugs, explicite sex, sexual activity, strong real sex, very strong, gory and sadistic violence.
My film will be a 15 because there will strong violence and it will be too scary and violent for young people.
This post shows a basic understanding of why age certificates are used in the film industry. You have started to define each certificate but the rest if your work seems rushed.
ReplyDeleteTo make this post more detailed you need to define the certificate in more detail and then relate films to the points that you are making.
