Certificate ratings provide guidelines for the content in films based on their rating. Universal films (U) can contain mild language and have no significant issues with drugs, sex or violence. Parental Guidance films (PG) may not be suitable for young children and can explore violence and contain language like "shit" but not strong language. 12A films allow moderate language and can briefly show sex/nudity and violence without detail. 15 rated films are not suitable for those under 15 and can show sex, violence, language but not strongly or graphically. 18 rated films are only for adults and can portray very strong content without limitation.
Certificate ratings
Certificate ratings provide guidelines for the content in films based on their rating. There are several categories:
Universal films (U) can contain mild language and raise no significant issues, though some are aimed at adults. Parental Guidance films (PG) are generally suitable for all, but may contain violence portrayed without injury details or racist content. Films rated 12A allow moderate language and briefly discreet depictions of sex/nudity as well as moderate undetailed violence including in horror films. 15 rated films can show more explicit sex, violence, language, but not the strongest gore; 18 rated films are only for adults and can contain very strong content including language, violence and explicit sex.
BBFC
The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) was created in 1912 by the film industry to censor and rate films, rather than having the government perform this role. The BBFC uses ratings based on sexual content, violence, drug use, and language to restrict who can view films. The main ratings are Universal, PG, 12A, 15, and 18, with progressively more adult content restricted to older age groups. The document discusses that a documentary about bullying would likely receive a PG rating, as the theme may upset younger viewers but follows PG conventions by discussing it through narration and interviews rather than explicit depictions.
Question 4 – who would be the audience for your media product?
This document discusses potential target audiences for a low-budget independent horror film called "Tracks of Damnation". It analyzes that the film would not appeal to a global "tent pole audience" due to its limited budget and unknown cast. Instead, the target audience would be niche and national in scope since the film, production company, and setting are all British. The goal is to receive a 15 rating from the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), which would allow scenes of strong violence, threat, and language but no sexual or drug content. The primary target audience is identified as older teens and young adults aged 15-30, with males as a secondary audience drawn to genres like slasher films.
BBFC guidelines research
The document outlines BBFC guidelines for 15-rated and 18-rated films. For 15-rated films: nudity and sex can be shown but not in great detail; strong violence is allowed if it doesn't dwell on pain or injury; strong language is acceptable. For 18-rated films: there are few guidelines as adults have free will to choose what to watch; anything promoting serious crime is forbidden; sex in too much detail would change the rating to R-18.
Bbfc
This document outlines the film classification system in the UK. It discusses the reasons films are categorized which is to protect children from unsuitable content and inform audiences. It then describes the rating categories of U, PG, 12A, 15, 18 and their respective content guidelines around language, violence, nudity, sex, drugs and discrimination. It concludes with a brief history of the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) which was created in 1912 and evolved its film rating system over time.

Bbfc research
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is an independent non-governmental organization that has been classifying films in the UK since 1912 and videos/DVDs since 1984. They assign age ratings from U (universal) to 18 (only for adults) based on the type and frequency of content like violence, language, sex, and more. U films are family friendly, PG may have mild themes unsuitable for young children, 12A means under 12s must be accompanied by an adult, 15 and 18 films can contain more graphic or frequent problematic content restricted to older viewers. The BBFC examines all films and videos before release to classify them and inform consumers.

Films rated U are suitable for all ages, while PG, 12A/12, 15, and 18 ratings indicate increasing levels of content that may not be suitable for younger viewers and often require minimum viewer ages. Exceptions can be made for films that breach criminal law or risk harming individuals or society.

British board of film classification
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) classifies films, videos, DVDs and some video games in the UK based on their regularly updated guidelines. These guidelines are informed by extensive public consultation involving thousands of members of the public. For their most recent consultation, over 8,700 people provided input on issues related to classification. When classifying a film as a 15 certificate, the BBFC considers whether the film endorses discrimination, the level of threat/menace, dangerous behaviors, language use, nudity, and sexual references/acts.
Cetification ratings
The document discusses the various film rating certificates issued by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) in the UK. Ratings are important as they determine what age groups can view certain films based on their content. The U rating is for all ages and contains only mild elements, while the PG rating means parental guidance is required for children under 8 due to themes like domestic violence. Movies rated 12A allow under-12s with an accompanying adult, while 12 ratings mean ages 12 and over can view. Films rated 15 and 18 contain increasingly strong language, violence, sex or discrimination unsuitable for younger viewers. The most restrictive R18 category is legally restricted to adults only and includes pornographic content.

British Board of Film Classification
- 1. The guidelines of BBFC By hajra mubashar
- 2. • The bbfc is an independent body funded through the films that it classifies • it nationally classifies films distributed in the UK • It is also responsible for the classification of certain video games, DVDs and videos • It must be stressed that the BBFC guidelines are not a legal document • There are various acts that the BBFC have to consider such as the human rights, licencing, the video recording act and many more • These acts have to be acknowledged before making the decision on classification
- 3. Mission- as quoted from bbfc website • ‘‘protect the public, and especially children, from content which might raise harm risks • empower the public, especially parents, to make informed viewing choices • recognise and respect adult freedom of choice within the law • respond to and reflect changing social attitudes towards media content through proactive public consultation and research • provide a cost-effective, efficient classification service within our statutory remit • work in partnership with the industry to develop innovative service models to provide content advice which support emerging media delivery systems • provide an effective service to enforcement agencies’’- BBFC website mission statement
- 4. U- universal • Universal is suitable for all, it should be generally suitable for audiences of age four and over • It should be suitable enough for a pre-school child to view unaccompanied • There should be no references to drugs, no sexual nudity, kissing being the strongest form of sexual behaviour, mild violence, no discriminatory language, very brief scary references, sensitive and discreet themes that don’t come across as too problematic • There should be no dangerous behaviour that young people may be inclined to mimic • Mild bad language should be used as seldom as possible
- 5. PG- parental guidance • PG, is basically general viewing, but some scenes may be inappropriate for children • It should not disturb children aged eight or older • Again, any references to drugs should be not be provocative and should perhaps carry an anti-drug message • There a should be very mild bad language • Anything that is completely prohibited at the U certificate is not allowed but in discretion • Sexual nudity for the purposes of pornography and voyeurism is completely inappropriate
- 6. 12A and 12 • 12A/12 is suitable for ages 12 years and over • Both have the same criteria • Here the themes become more adult, allowing the misuse of drugs but no glamorisation, horror should be moderate and infrequent, sex can be briefly protrayed, anything inappropriate for children can be shown to young teenagers however it should not be empasised • 12A is for cinema film, anyone younger than 12 cannot rent or buy films with this certificate
- 7. 15 • Suitable for ages 15 and over, so nobody under 15 can buy or rent a film certified 15 • There is very little limits on 15 films, except that gory, sadistic or sexualised images are not allowed • Sexual activity should be in detail
- 8. 18 • Suitable for only adults • Clear images of real sex, strong fetish material • Portrayal of harmful drugs, may cause harm to public morals • Stress on sexual themes rather than violence or action
- 9. R18 • These sort of films are only allowed to be shown in licensed sex shop, it is legally restricted • It is essentially pornographic material for explicit and indiscreet sex and fetish material • There is no audiences consent and it is open with potentially provocative material which could possibly promote abusive sexual activity such as rape
