BBFC is the British Board
of Film Classifications. It
is a British non-
governmental organisation
which gives Films, DVD’s,
Video’s and Video Games a
classified rating.
Universal – All ages allowed.
Parental Guidance – All ages allowed but some
scenes are unsuitable for young children.
Parent may check the content before allowing
their child to watch.
12A – Unsuitable for children under the
age of 12. Only permitted to buy tickets if
you are 12 or over, or accompanied by an
18 or over.
12 - Only suitable for people aged 12 or older.
It is illegal to supply a VHS, DVD, Blu-ray
Disc, UMD or video game with a 12 certificate
to anyone under that age.
15 – Unsuitable for anyone under the age of
15. Films under this category can contain
adult themes, hard drugs, regular use of foul
language and limited use of very strong
language, strong violence and strong sex
references, and nudity without graphic detail.
Sexual activity may be portrayed but without
any strong detail.
18 – Only suitable for people 18 or
over.
Restricted 18 – Can only be shown
at licensed adult cinema’ or in sex
shops. It is illegal to buy or sell
products with this rating if you are
not 18 or over. Media products will
only have this rating if viewings will
offend by showing hard-core
pornographic scenes.
I then looked into various films of the thriller genre to
see what was included and what the rating was. This
is important because you don’t want to offend any of
your audience with what you show by stating the
wrong classification rating. Also, it can suggest what
rating to rate my final piece.
Gone Girl has the
classification rating of 18. This
is due to strong bloody
violence and very strong
language, therefore is targeted
to a higher audience as they
will be less offended about
what is shown in the scenes.
Shutter Island is rated a 15. It
contains strong language,
bloody injuries and disturbing
images. This is a 15 and not
an 18 because the graphics
are not too disturbing.
I have decided that the classification rating for my
thriller film opening will be 12A. This is because no
violence or disturbing scenes are shown, and the
language used in the scenes are mild. I haven't chosen
to give my film opening a lower rating because the
content may be scary for younger viewers.
