Introduction 
In films there are age restrictions that stop people who are under age from seeing certain content. 
For example: people who are aged under 15 cannot see a film with the age certificate of “15”. 
Main In a film rated 15, you can expect to see certain content that people who are younger 
should not see. For example: 
-strong violence 
-Frequent strong language (e.g. 'f***'). 
-portrayals of sexual activity 
-strong verbal references to sex 
-sexual nudity 
-brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence 
-discriminatory language or behaviour 
-drug taking 
For example: Strong language is current throughout the film, but really strong words like (C***) is 
only occasionally used in the film. It is very important that the producers know what age certificate 
there film fits into. This is because it saves time if they make the script correct as the rating they 
want it to be. Otherwise they will have to change the script around again so that they are aiming at 
the correct target audience. For example if they don’t not put enough swearing and violence, in the 
film, then it would be rated lower than a 15. This might result in the producer rewriting the script 
and adding more swearing, so that it fits into that age group rating. 
In an 18 rated film, you can expect to see certain content that people who are younger should 
not see. For example: 
-very strong violence 
-frequent s trong language (e.g. 'f***') and / or very s trong language (e.g. ‘c***’) 
-strong portrayals of sexual activity 
-scenes of sexual violence 
-strong horror 
-strong blood and gore 
-real sex (in some circumstances) 
-discriminatory language and behaviour 
For example: In a 15 rated film it would only show minimal sexually nudity, but in an 18 rated film, it would show a 
lot more nudity and more sexual scenes. Also the sexual scenes will be a lot more current and more apparent in 
the film.
The producer’s needs to know what content is on an 18 rated film. This is because, if they were 
planning to release the film as an 18, the audience will expect to see aspects from an 18 film. If the 
film was labelled as an 18, but really it should of only been a 15, then the audience will be upset and 
it won’t be very successful. 
Conclusion 
Overall from looking at the BBFC website, I have found out information that is required for an 18 
rated film and a 15 rated film. Also I have learnt that the producer needs to get everything right first 
time to save time and money. For example: Adding the correct content for the right age rating. This 
will make sure that the audience are happy with what they are watching and they are getting what 
they expected to see in that age boundary.
