This document discusses secondary research conducted on age ratings and classifications. It examines the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), which rates and restricts films in the UK. The BBFC assigns age certificates like 15 and 18 that restrict what younger audiences can view. This secondary research was useful for planning the age rating for the author's slasher trailer. Based on the looser restrictions and larger potential audience, they chose to target a 15 certificate to increase their budget and production quality.

Audience research – secondary data
The document discusses secondary research conducted on age certification ratings by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). This secondary research was useful for planning what type of content could be included in a slasher film trailer and deciding on an appropriate rating. Most slasher films receive a 15 rating, as this rating has fewer restrictions and a larger potential audience, leading to higher budgets. In contrast, an 18 rating has a smaller audience size due to more restrictions, but allows for unrestricted content appealing to niche audiences.
BBFC Research
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) was founded in 1912 to classify films and videos for public
viewing in the UK. They assign age ratings to films and videos to help consumers and families determine
appropriate content. The BBFC reviews content and suggests age ratings, may require cuts to achieve a less
restrictive rating, and has the power to reject films that do not comply with laws protecting children. They
rate both films and video games, and were responsible for initially banning the video game "The Punisher"
for its graphic interrogation scenes. Filmmakers must consider the BBFC guidelines and age ratings when
creating films to ensure their content is suitable for their intended audience.
Bbfc classifications
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is an independent non-governmental organization that has been classifying films in the United Kingdom since 1912. While the BBFC makes classification decisions, local councils have statutory powers and can overrule the BBFC's ratings. The film "ESCAPE" is being rated by the BBFC and its creators expect it will receive a 15 rating, which is typically given to films containing strong violence, frequent strong language, portrayals of sexual activity, or brief scenes of sexual violence - though "ESCAPE" will only feature strong violence and language.

A smaller distribution company like Warp Films would be more suitable than a major studio for my low-budget horror film. Warp Films focuses on culturally significant, niche films instead of large blockbusters. They have successfully distributed modestly budgeted horror films like 28 Days Later that found audiences through compelling stories and characters. My film would appeal to a specific target age and gender demographic, as is common for the horror genre, making it a niche product rather than mass market. A smaller company is more likely to take on a low-budget, specialized film.
How is the Movie Industry Regulated
The British Board of Film Censorship (BBFC) was established in 1912 to regulate the growing film industry in Britain. In the late 1930s, the BBFC began unofficially censoring films for political views at the request of the Home Office. In 1984, the BBFC took on the additional responsibility of classifying videos. While the BBFC assigns film ratings, local authorities have final say over who can view which films. Ratings provide information about a film's content such as sex, violence, and language.
Presentation2
- A smaller, independent film company like Warp Films would be more suitable than a major studio to distribute my low-budget horror film.
- Warp Films supports culturally relevant, grassroots films and has successfully distributed modestly budgeted horror films like 28 Days Later that had great stories and characters.
- My film also has a narrow target audience of 18-25 year old males, making it a niche product that a smaller company could more effectively promote.
Section a revision SECTION A
The document discusses several aspects of the British film industry:
1) The industry maintains independence by meeting cultural tests with British cast/crew and receiving funding from domestic sources like the UK Film Council.
2) Films are profitable by keeping budgets low which ensures more earnings, and hiring British talent and production companies to retain funds within the country.
3) Major production companies receive funding from domestic organizations and sometimes partner with Hollywood to distribute films more widely.
Presentation2
The document discusses which type of media institution would be best for distributing a low-budget horror film. It argues that a smaller, independent company like Warp Films would be more suitable than a major studio. Warp Films supports lower budget, culturally significant films. Examples like 28 Days Later were successful despite small budgets due to strong stories and characters. The summary also notes that the target audience for the film would be predominantly male ages 18-25, further supporting the choice of a smaller distributor suited for niche films within the mass market.

AS Media Section B Exam Intro
The document discusses defining what constitutes a "British film" and outlines several perspectives on this. It notes that defining Britishness is complicated by the influx of other cultures. It also explains the UK Film Council and Department of Media, Culture and Sport's definition, which focuses on funding sources and number of British personnel. The British Film Institute further categorizes films based on factors like funding sources and production location/resources. Students will need to analyze a contemporary UK production or distribution company for a case study considering its production, distribution, and consumption aspects.
Brit Cinema Lesson 1
This document provides information and guidance for developing a case study on a British film studio or production company. It discusses the key aspects of film production, distribution, and consumption that should be covered. It also prompts the reader to consider what defines British cinema and films. Examples are given of different decades of British cinema, including major films from each era, to help understand the ups and downs of the British film industry over time. Readers are assigned a decade to research and develop a short presentation about British cinema in that time period.
Distribute
Revolver Entertainment would be a suitable distributor for the film because it specializes in distributing socially realistic films similar to those mentioned, like Kidulthood. Revolver has distributed films dealing with urban living and emotional abuse that have found popularity. As a British film distribution company established in 1997, Revolver would sign an agreement with the producer specifying distribution rights and provisions for revenue sharing and local editing if needed.
Pp9 financing films (1)
There are various methods for financing films, as it is difficult to predict a film's financial success. Producers must secure funding before filming begins. Government grants and subsidies are available to encourage creativity and support employment, culture, and tourism. Tax incentives also help attract productions by allowing investors to pay less tax. Pre-sales, or selling distribution rights before filming, is a common financing method, as it provides security for investors. However, it can limit creative control and require commercially viable elements like stars. Small independent studios rely more on grants due to the inability to offer secure returns or afford big budgets.
Film classifications
The document discusses different film rating systems used in various countries/regions to denote the appropriate audience for different types of content in movies. It provides descriptions of common rating terms like G, PG, 12/12A, 15, 18 used in the UK and US equivalents. It also outlines the history and role of the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) in standardizing film ratings in the UK from 1912 onward to bring uniformity across local authorities. Finally, it discusses the introduction of the 12 rating in the UK in 1989 and the debate around it for Batman.
Introduction to short films
Short films tell concise stories from a main character's perspective, often focusing on difficult topics not covered in mainstream films. They give filmmakers more creative freedom and the ability to take risks as they have a specific target audience. Good short films have exciting plots, strong scripts, appropriate actors, and high production values and new techniques. The London Short Film Festival is a premiere UK showcase for independent short films that has been running for 13 years, accepting both domestic and international submissions. It is an important event for young UK creative talent and short film fans.

BBFC Reasearch
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) was founded in 1912 to classify films and videos for public
viewing in the UK. They assign age ratings to films and videos to help consumers and families determine
appropriate content. The BBFC was originally called the British Board of Film Censorship but changed its
name in 1984 to reflect its focus on classification over censorship. It is funded by the film industry and
responsible for classifying videos, DVDs, and some video games. There are seven age categories ranging
from Universal to R18. The BBFC views submitted material and suggests age ratings which may require
compulsory cuts if content violates laws protecting children. This influences filmmakers to consider the
maturity
BBFC
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is an independent non-profit organization established in 1912 to classify films shown in British cinemas. It has classified both films and videos since the Video Recordings Act of 1984. The BBFC aims to provide uniform classification nationally while allowing for local council overrides. It charges fees to review and classify films and videos based on their content and potential effects on audiences. The BBFC must apply and consider various British acts regarding obscenity, child protection, and video content when making classification decisions.

BBFC
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is a non-governmental organization funded by the film industry that is responsible for classifying and censoring films in the UK. It has a legal requirement to classify videos, DVDs, and some video games. While local authorities have the power to decide how films are shown in cinemas, they typically follow the BBFC's advice. The BBFC provides certificates for all films and video games that indicate references to sex, violence, and language and specify the minimum age for viewing without restriction.
The bbfc
The BBFC is the independent British Board of Film Classification that has been classifying films since 1912 and videos/DVDs since 1984. It examines issues like violence, sex, language and more to assign age ratings like U, PG, 12, 15, 18. The BBFC must follow legal acts around censorship that protect viewers and performers, like the Obscene Publications Act and Child Protection Act. For the film The Descent, the BBFC took a lenient approach by not explicitly showing the death of a child character, allowing the film to receive a 15 rating instead of an 18.
Bbfc
The BBFC is the UK's regulator of film and video ratings. They provide age ratings like U, PG, 12A, 15, 18, and R18. To rate a film, the distributor submits it to the BBFC who pays to have it rated. Two examiners watch the film and take notes on issues before deciding a rating. The document then provides details on what content is appropriate for each rating level. It also discusses how the BBFC rated three films - Adulthood at 15, Fight Club which required cuts for an 18 rating, and Coraline which received a PG.
Censorship media research
The document discusses censorship and the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). It defines censorship as the suppression of speech or communication deemed objectionable by a governing body. It describes the BBFC as the non-governmental organization responsible for film classification and censorship in the UK. The BBFC classifies videos, DVDs, and some video games according to the Video Recordings Act, and can restrict releases to certain age groups or licensed shops. Films are normally classified by two examiners using published guidelines considering issues like content, context, and intended audience.
Audience research
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is an independent non-governmental organization that is funded by the film industry and responsible for classifying and censoring films in the UK. While the BBFC aims to inform the public about appropriate viewing ages, its age ratings are legally enforced. Local councils can overrule BBFC decisions by banning, passing, or altering age categories for films. The BBFC submits films into categories based on their content and maturity level.
Research: Audience Survey Results & Audience Profile
The British Board of Film Classification is responsible for classifying and censoring films in the UK. It was established in 1912 and originally had two age ratings but now has seven. The BBFC ensures films are rated appropriately based on their content, such as violence. For horror and slasher films, the 15 and 18 ratings are most common as they allow more explicit content. A filmmaker would consider the rating they want for their film as different ratings impact the potential audience and profits.
BBFC Research
The BBFC is an independent non-governmental organization that has rated films in the UK since 1912. It classifies films based on their content using age ratings. To determine a rating, the BBFC examines factors like discrimination, drugs, imitable behavior, language, nudity, sex, threat, and violence that may be present in a film. For the film "The Pyre," research was conducted on the target audience and other horror films to aim for a 15+ rating, which would result in the largest potential audience and more money made. Following the BBFC's published guidelines for a 15+ rating will help the film obtain this classification.
Bbfc
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) was formed in 1912 as the British Board of Film Censors to censor films in the UK instead of government organizations doing so. This helped filmmakers by providing a cheaper alternative that met the legal requirement for film approval. Throughout its history, the BBFC has been criticized at times for either being too strict or lax with its film ratings. It works to classify films shown in the UK to inform viewers of potentially offensive content and reduce the risk of unexpected offense. The filmmaker decides to rate their film "Psychopath" a 15 for strong language in one scene and violence in the final scene to avoid potential bad publicity from an under-classification.
127 hours essay
The document discusses the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) and their process for classifying films in the UK. It focuses on the case of the film 127 Hours, which depicts a real-life event where a climber cuts off his own arm after it becomes trapped. While this scene contains graphic imagery, the BBFC classified the film as 15 rather than 18 because the scene is meant to depict a real-life survival situation rather than gratuitous violence. The author agrees with this decision, as banning the key scene would undermine the film. However, the author also questions the relevance of the BBFC today given most people can access any content online.
Bbfc
The BBFC is a non-governmental organization responsible for classifying and censoring films released in UK cinemas and home video. It aims to be impartial and is funded through fees paid by film companies. The BBFC assigns age ratings to films based on factors like sex, violence, and substance use. Ratings include U, PG, 12A, 15, 18, and R18. The BBFC must abide by laws such as the Obscene Publications Act and Video Recordings Act when classifying films. Notable films that were initially banned but later released with cuts include Cannibal Holocaust, The Exorcist, and Straw Dogs. The Descent received an 18 rating for its graphic violence, though it
The bbfc
The BBFC is the independent British Board of Film Classification that has been classifying films since 1912 and videos/DVDs since 1984. Examiners review films and assign age ratings based on content involving issues like discrimination, drugs, horror, violence and sex. Films are rated U, PG, 12A, 12, 15 or 18 with restrictions on who can view depending on the rating. The BBFC has the power to ban films that may cause harm or if their content is in conflict with UK law. For the film The Descent, the BBFC took a lenient approach by not explicitly showing the death of a child character, allowing it to receive a 15 rating rather than an 18.
Qualitative data
The document discusses the research conducted by a film director to inform the content and marketing of their slasher film. They surveyed 60 people using an online questionnaire to understand audience preferences around content, villains, weapons, locations and viewing habits. Key findings included that knives were the most popular weapon, Freddy Kruger the most popular villain but the director chose to create a realistic teenage boy villain instead, and deserted woods and abandoned houses the scariest yet low-budget locations. The research helped refine the film's narrative, trailer and ensure it appealed to the target audience's desires within the director's constraints.
Q4
The document discusses the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), the independent organization in the UK responsible for classifying films. It explains that the BBFC uses an age rating system to classify films as U, PG, 12A, 15, 18, or R18 based on their content. The document also notes that properly classifying a film through the BBFC system is important to match the film to the correct target audience and avoid potential complaints. Finally, it states that if the author's horror film were submitted for classification, they would rate it as 12A to appeal to both teens and a wider target market.

Audience research – secondary data
- 2. In addition to Quantitative Research done via ‘Survey Monkey’, I also looked further into secondary data, such as the ‘British Board of Film Classification’ (BBFC) along with age certifications. This secondary source of information was useful to look into as it assisted with our planning when deciding which certificate our slasher trailer should be. Therefore, identifying from an early stage, what type of content we were able to include into our slasher trailer. British Board of Film Classification
- 3. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) originally known as “British Board of Film Censors” is a non governmental organisation solely based within the United Kingdom who take charge in the certification and censorship of films. The organisation established in 1912, applies these restrictions for the benefit of the public. Restricting younger audiences on what they are allowed to view/witness. Though the BBFC have authority to rate or add certain legal restrictions onto the film, overall the local council have the authority to place their own restrictions on a film, change a BBFC rating, and in extreme cases, 'ban' the film. Some of BBFC’s decisions caused great dispute, especially in the 1970s when it banned ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ and ‘Last House on the Left’ as they were greatly popular in other countries.
- 4. Age Certifications The majority of slasher genre films are certificate ‘15’ in order to obtain a larger demographic, this certificate has far less restrictions than certificate ‘18’. Due to this this certificate usually having a larger audience, the budget for these movies increase. Therefore, there will most likely be better equipment, CGI etc. in certificate ‘15’ movies than ’18’. We have chosen our slasher trailer to be a certificate ‘15’ due to these reasons. ’18’ certificate films are more restricted due to the rating. Usually these films have a smaller audience and therefore, the budget is lower than that of ‘15’ certificate slasher films. However, due to the type of content allowed in an ‘18’ certificate, film directors are not at all restricted. Attracting niche audiences, and therefore obtain more money later on.
