BBFC & Understanding of film
rating
Jordan
What is BBFC?
BBFC is the British Board of Film Classification
What do they classify?
What they classify:
1. Film
2. Trailers
3. Advertising
4. Videos online (such as Love Film)
5. Texts available over mobile networks
6. Educational videos
7. Music videos
8. Video games
What are the 7 ratings?
-suitable for all ages
-Parental Guidance
-Cinema release suitable for 12 years and over
-Video released suitable for 12 years and over
-suitable only for 15 years and over
-suitable only for adults
-Adults, works for licensed premises only
How do they classify film?
General Classification
Considerations:
-context
-theme
-tone & impact
Specific Classification
Considerations:
-discrimination
-drugs
-imitable behaviour
-language
-nudity
-sex
-threat
-violence
Other Matters:
-photo or pattern sensitivity
-motion sickness
-reaction to low frequency
Sound
-release format
-titles
The BBFC and examiners look at each of the classification consideration and decide
what is appropriate for each rating. Fort instance sex scenes wouldn’t be appropriate
for young children so the film wouldn’t be classified as U or a PG.
Are the 7 symbols classified the same
or differently?
The seven symbols are classified differently as they
are aimed at different age groups. As things such as
the general classifications (context, theme and tone
& impact) help define what the film is classified as.
In films rated as U and PG violence is not permitted
as it is aimed at younger children, whereas an 18 is
for adults and adults have the choice in what
entertainment that can watch, so things such as
violence are aimed mainly at adults. The tone and
impact of things such as violence can be
strong/negative for children, so it is only permitted
for adults.
