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.

The document provides information about the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) and their film and video classification system in the United Kingdom. The BBFC is a non-governmental organization funded by the film industry that is responsible for classifying films, videos, DVDs, and some video games in the UK.

Certificate 15 films contain stronger violence, frequent strong language, sexual activity, nudity, references to sex, scenes of sexual violence, discriminatory content, and drug taking. Under 15s are not permitted.
Certificate 18 films contain strong violence, language, sexual content, scenes of sexual violence, horror, blood and gore, and discriminatory behavior. Under 18s are not permitted as content is unsuitable.

Certificate guidelines
Certificate guidelines are designed to protect young audiences from unsuitable content by providing age ratings for films. The presenter discusses the BBFC age rating system, which examines films and assigns guidelines (U, PG, 12, 15, 18) based on language, sex, violence, and other content. These guidelines are important for the presenter's own film project, which aims for a low age rating in order to attract their target young audience and maximize profits.
BBFC Ratings
The BBFC creates age ratings to help determine what age groups can view different types of media based on its content. The ratings include U for ages 4+, PG for parental guidance, 12A and 12 for ages 12+, 15 for ages 15+ and 18 for ages 18+. A psychological horror film about a serial killer that is being created would likely receive a 15 rating due to its horror elements and threats, but could potentially be an 18 if it includes sustained sadistic threats or horror. While the opening scene may not be excessively gory, the sadistic nature of some elements means an 18 rating cannot be ruled out.
