The film A Guide to Recognize Your Saints contains strong language, sex references, and depictions of soft drug use and gang violence. The BBFC classified the film as 15 due to guidelines allowing strong language from young characters, depictions of drug use as part of lived experiences, and violence without injury details. The classification is justified as the content may influence viewers under 15 who cannot fully understand the consequences. Today, a 15 rating would still be appropriate as viewers that age can understand depictions of adult themes and behaviors.

Bbfc guidelines
The document summarizes the BBFC guidelines for 15-rated and 18-rated films in the UK. For a 15-rating, drug use may be shown but not promote misuse, nudity is allowed without strong detail, sexual activity and violence may be depicted but not dwell on pain/injury. An 18-rating means no one under 18 can view, and explicit sexual content or promotion of harmful acts are unlikely to be allowed. The filmmakers chose a 15-rating for their horror film opening because it included scary elements but not graphic content, and would appeal to a wider audience within their low budget.
Age ratings according to the bbfc ratings
The document discusses the different age ratings used by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) to classify films and videos in the UK. It outlines the ratings of U, PG, 12, 12A, 15, and 18. U and PG ratings mean films are suitable for children aged 4 and over or may contain mild violence/scares but are generally suitable for ages 8 and over. 12 and 12A films contain material not suitable for those under 12 and children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult for 12A films in cinemas. 15 and 18 ratings restrict viewing to those aged 15 and over or 18 and over as they may contain strong violence, language, sexual content, horror or discrimination that makes them unsuitable
Film certificates
The document discusses film ratings in the UK which are assigned by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). There are six main age ratings: U, PG, 12A, 12, 15, and 18. A 15 rating means a film can contain strong violence, frequent strong language, portrayals of sexual activity, brief scenes of sexual violence or references to it. An 18 rating signifies very strong violence, frequent strong language, strong portrayals of sexual activity, and scenes of sexual violence. Based on the content described, which includes themes of mental illness, violence, and crime but no strong gore, sexual content, or profanity, the author concludes the film in question would likely receive a 15 rating.
Bbfc
The BBFC is an independent organization that assigns age ratings to films and educates about their rating decisions. They were established in 1912 and fund their operations through fees paid by film companies. Films are given ratings of U, PG, 12A, 15, and 18 based on increasing levels of violence, language, sexual content and other factors. Several laws like the Obscene Publications Act and Video Recordings Act establish restrictions on publishing obscene or harmful material and require all video releases be rated by the BBFC.
Who would be the audience for your media film
The document discusses how the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) categorizes films by age rating to provide guidance about suitable audience and content. Films are examined by two censors and sometimes a senior censor to determine if it should receive a U, PG, 12A, 12, 15, or 18 rating based on factors like language, sexual content, violence, and substance use. Examples given are Paranormal Activity 2 receiving a 15 for graphic scenes and violence, The Hunger Games a 12A for some violence and emotional upsetting scenes, and Tangled a PG for frightening scenes, violence and flirty scenes.
Question 4
The target audience for the media product would be people over 15 years old. While mainly appealing to males, about 35% of the audience would be female. Research found that actors and storyline are most attractive to audiences. Previous survey responses showed the most popular gangster movies were The Godfather, Lawless, Oceans 11, Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas, Takers, Captain Phillips, and Tower Heist, indicating the target audience enjoys both modern and classic gangster films across a variety of concepts.
Final concept
The document provides details for a short film called "Escapism" that will tell the story of a father who abuses his son due to unresolved grief and alcoholism. The film is classified as a drama for ages 12 and up. It will have 3 main locations, 3 main characters, and focus on their worn clothing and broken family dynamics. The narrative explores how the son struggles to get help from his abusive father and eventually finds the courage to report the abuse to authorities. The intended audience is teenagers and parents to raise awareness, and the film aims for a realistic, low-budget production through Film4.
Audience profile
The primary audience of the film "Escapism" is teenagers who may be experiencing abuse, as the film tells the story of a teenage boy abused by his alcoholic father and how he copes. The secondary audience is adults, who the father represents, as the film shows the effects of abuse and how they can help prevent it. The family in the film is from a lower social class background surrounded by drugs and alcohol, so the film gives exposure to problems faced by that social class, but also provides insight for middle and upper classes.

Films rated 18 explicitly depict sexual activity, violence, and drug use.
Demographics
The document discusses demographics for thriller film audiences. It notes that thriller films typically target teenagers and young adults. People in these age groups enjoy thriller films because they can relate to the characters and events, and sometimes the films include supernatural elements similar to experiences the viewers have had. Thriller films are also commonly released on Fridays with a 15 rating, allowing younger audiences to see them with friends on weekends. Statistics show those aged 50+ also enjoy thriller films as remakes of films they saw in their youth. The document recommends that to appeal to these audiences, the discussed film should include relatable female characters, exciting elements like explosions to interest males, and similarities to classic thrillers to attract older viewers.
Audience theories
This document outlines the UK film rating system established by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC).

Social Psychology Tutorial 8
This document discusses stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination through analyzing the song "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne. The lyrics describe a situation where a girl discriminates against and refuses to date a boy because he is a "skater boy" and she feels he is not good enough for her based on his appearance and interests. However, the song suggests that stereotypes and judgments of people should be avoided, as over time people can change and develop in unexpected ways. It describes how the boy goes on to become very successful in the music industry, while the girl who dismissed him ends up alone and regretting her decision to judge him based on superficial attributes.
BBFC
The BBFC deals with 4 main issues when classifying films - violence, drugs, language, and sex references. Violence is often the primary factor in determining a rating, with implied violence allowing a 12 rating while visible violence warrants a 15. Drugs use shown in detail gets an automatic 15 or 18 rating, though context matters, as shown in Trainspotting. Strong language like the f-word or c-word means a 15 or 18 rating. Sex is allowed in films if justified by the context and plot, as in Monster's Ball at 15 or the real sex scenes in 9 Songs at 18.
Question 4
The document discusses the target audience and rating for a horror film. It aims to target teenagers and young adults aged 15-19, as a survey found they most enjoy the horror genre and frequently visit cinemas. Both male and female teenagers will be targeted, as the main character's gender could be changed and it will appeal to both genders. A 15 rating is deemed appropriate due to strong language, suicide scenes, and the target audience finding it more appealing and relatable at that level.

Looking For Love in All the Wrong Places: The Science and Psychology of Porn ...
This document discusses the science and psychology of porn addiction. It explores whether porn can be addictive in the same way drugs are addictive and the effects of overusing porn. While porn use can impact the brain's dopamine response and condition users to seek novelty, it does not chemically alter the brain like drugs. Porn overuse can lead to relationship problems, sexual dysfunction, and unrealistic expectations, but is not truly an addiction in the same way as drug addiction. Moderation of porn use is recommended to avoid potential negative consequences.

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.

The document also examines audience reception theories and how contextual factors like a viewer's identity, circumstances of viewing, and preconceptions can influence how they interpret a movie.
BBFC
The BBFC classifies films in the UK according to age ratings to provide consumers information about a film's content. Films are rated 15 or 18 based on standards for depictions of sex, drugs, discrimination, violence and more. A 15 rating allows a wider audience than 18 but has more restrictions, prohibiting very strong language, sexual content, drugs and violence. Understanding the BBFC guidelines is important for filmmakers to select content that will appeal to audiences while complying with ratings requirements for distribution.
BBFC
The BBFC classifies films in the UK according to age ratings to help consumers make informed viewing decisions. Films rated 15 can contain strong language, violence, and limited sexual content or nudity. Films rated 18 can contain more explicit sexual scenes or graphic content. The BBFC also has an R18 rating for sexually explicit material that must only be shown in licensed venues to those over 18. To make a film rated 15, the document's author will need to ensure their film complies with the BBFC guidelines for language, themes, and content appropriate for 15 year olds.
BBFC powerpoint
The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) classifies films nationally using age ratings to dictate suitability. Films rated 15 can contain strong language, violence, and limited nudity unless sexual. Films rated 18 allow more explicit sexual content and violence that is too strong for 15 ratings. The BBFC guidelines for ratings are based on societal changes and aim to protect viewers while allowing informed choices. Filmmakers must consider these guidelines to appeal to target audiences and facilitate distribution.
Regulation
The document discusses the BBFC age rating system for films in the UK. It focuses on the 15 and 18 ratings which are most associated with thriller genre films. The 15 rating allows for strong language, violence, and depictions of sexual activity as long as they are not gratuitous or encouraged. An 18 rating contains very strong language, violence, sexual content and may portray such things in a positive light. The author explains how understanding these ratings can help identify an appropriate target audience for a film teaser trailer they are creating about a protagonist cursed by the devil. While age ratings provide guidance, they acknowledge they do not fully prevent people from watching inappropriate content online.
BBFC Guidelines
The document discusses the BBFC age rating guidelines for films rated 15 and 18. A 15 rating means anyone under 15 cannot view the film and may contain strong violence, sexual references, depictions of sexual activity or nudity. An 18 rating prohibits anyone under 18 from viewing and can include very strong violence, frequent strong language, strong sexual activity, scenes of sexual violence, strong horror or discriminatory content. The document also examines theories around the influence of media on audiences, particularly the hypodermic needle theory which suggests media passively influences viewers, and the uses and gratifications theory which argues audiences actively use media. It discusses how films may glamorize violence, sex, drugs and alcohol for teenagers without portraying the negatives.
BBFC Research Task
The document discusses film age ratings from the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), focusing on the 15 and 18 ratings. It explains that a 15 rating means those under 15 cannot rent or watch the film, and may contain strong language, violence, sex, or drug use as long as it is not encouraged. An 18 rating means a film is unsuitable for anyone under 18 and can contain very strong language, violence, sex, or discrimination. The document also notes the limitations of age ratings for internet streaming and suggests the BBFC could develop a new system for the modern era.
BBFC 15
The document discusses the BBFC 15 film rating certification and what types of content would be acceptable for this rating. A 15 rating allows for strong violence, strong language, some sexual content and references, discriminatory language, and drug use, as long as they are not the focus of the film and do not promote or endorse such behaviors. The respondent's horror film "Unchained" includes some of these elements, such as strong language used toward the villain, a brief sexual scene, discriminatory insults toward the villain, and drug and alcohol use by characters, but keeps within the BBFC guidelines for a 15 rating.
BBFC guidelines research
The document summarizes BBFC guidelines for 15-rated and 18-rated films. Films rated 15 can contain strong violence, language, sexual activities or references, while 18-rated films can have very strong violence, language, sexual content or violence. The author is researching the guidelines to determine whether their opening sequence should be rated 15 or 18, concluding it will likely fit within a 15-rating as it may contain some strong language and violence but not excessive gore or violence that could be copied.
Institutional regulations
- The document discusses boundaries and certification for a 15 rating by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC).
- Within a 15 rating, strong language is allowed but not aggressive or continued swearing. Sexual activity and nudity can be shown without strong detail. References to sex and sexual behavior are allowed if not strong or crude.
- The filmmakers' target audience is 15-25 years old, so a 15 rating is suitable. A 15 allows strong violence, frequent strong language, portrayals of sexual activity, brief scenes of sexual violence, and discriminatory language if not endorsing it.
Bbfc
The BBFC classifies films in the UK according to age rating guidelines to protect viewers, especially children, from harmful content. Films are submitted for classification and rated U, PG, 12A, 12, 15, or 18 based on violence, language, sexual content, and other factors. Case studies provide examples of films like Gremlins, Alien, and Fight Club receiving higher ratings than originally intended due to graphic or disturbing scenes. The BBFC aims to give parents guidance on age-appropriate content while balancing creative expression.
Audience research
The document discusses the BBFC film rating guidelines and outlines criteria for ratings of 15 and 18. For a 15 rating, a film may contain moderate language, occasional gory violence kept to a minimum, implied sexual violence, drug use shown without detail, and brief casual sex scenes. An 18 rating allows for more graphic depictions of violence, language, sex, drugs, and horror without promoting these. The response proposes a film about mothers who murder their children receive a 15 rating by keeping violence minimal while focusing on plot and character psychology.

Bbcf
The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) is a non-governmental organization founded in 1912 that is responsible for classifying and censoring films in the UK. It gets funding from film producers who must pay the BBFC to review and rate their films. There are seven different rating certificates the BBFC can give films, ranging from Universal for all ages to R18 for pornographic films restricted to licensed adult venues and those over 18. Three key acts - the Obscene Publications Act, Video Recordings Act, and Protection of Children Act - give the BBFC legal powers to restrict films that breach the laws around obscenity, violence, and protecting child actors.
BBFC
The BBFC provides film classification ratings in the UK to indicate appropriate audience age groups. U ratings are for general audiences aged 4+ and allow mild language and references to sexual behavior but no focus on it. PG ratings are suitable for ages 8+ and may contain mild language, sexual references, and violence but not in detail that could be copied. 12A requires children under 12 be accompanied by an adult and contains content suitable for ages 12+. 15 and 18 ratings prohibit younger viewers and have increasing levels of strong language, sexual content, drug use, and violence permitted but not encouraged.
Case study
The document discusses the author's views on the films Juno and Fight Club through the lenses of reception theory and uses and gratifications theory. Regarding Juno, the author has mixed views on the main character's behavior but sees the film as lighthearted overall. For Fight Club, the author appreciates the film but would not agree with or replicate the acts shown, believing most audiences can separate fiction from reality. The document also examines how each film was rated by censors.
BBFC 15
The document summarizes the British Board of Film Classification's rating of 15. A 15 rating means that no one under 15 is allowed to see the film. Films with a 15 rating can contain strong violence, frequent strong language, portrayals of sexual activity, brief scenes of sexual violence or references to it, discriminatory language, and depictions of drug use as long as they do not promote drug misuse. Sex scenes can be depicted but without strong detail, and strong language is allowed without an upper limit on usage. Dangerous behavior is allowed if it does not dwell on details that could be copied.
British Board of Film Classification
The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) assigns age ratings to films in order to protect children from unsuitable content and provide consumers information about a film's content. The BBFC has a process where examiners view films and assign an appropriate rating. Ratings include U, PG, 12A, 15, and 18, with each rating having different allowances for depictions of issues like discrimination, drugs, violence, nudity, and sex. The independent scrutiny of films ensures high protection of viewers.

Giulia aarsman aulino - media regulation film case studies
- 1. Media Regulation Film Case Studies - A guide to recognize your saints Summarise any contentious issues in this film. • strong language - 270 uses of ‘f**k’ and 13 of 'motherf****r' • strong sex references - the context of sexual sparring and posturing. • soft drug use - rolling, smoking joints and the use of (poppers) is accompanied by the unpleasant effects. • violence - live in an area where rivalry between neighbourhood gangs sometimes erupts into violence
- 2. Summarise the BBFC's justification for their decision(s). Do you think the BBFC made the right decision? Would it still be made today? Explain your answers. A guide to recognize your saints has a 15 classification and was necessary because of the regular use of strong language by the film's young characters. The BBFC Guidelines at 15 allow for 'strong verbal references to sexual behaviour and sexualised nudity is also acceptable at 15. BBFC Guidelines on drug use allow drug-taking to be shown, but it is not allowed to promote or encourage the activity. This is why the movie shows drug use but in the case of a feature of how these young people lived. The director also shows some unnamed illegal drugs that weaken the character’s physical and mental health, as can be seen from the character’s frenetic behaviour. BBFC Guidelines on violence explains that there should be no specific place on 'the infliction of pain or injury’, which allows this scene to be in the 15 category because the viewers see no impact, injury or blood and then the director shows that the character serves a very long prison sentence. In my opinión BBFC made the right decision to classify it as 15 because in the movie there are a lot of images where I think that a child under 15 shouldn’t be prepared to watch because they don’t fully understand the consequences of the decisions these “teenagers” took at the time and could maybe influence them when they are only with friends or when they are alone. To add, 15 is the proper age to classify this movie because 15 year olds who would watch this movie nowadays are already understanding the adult life, which I mean by when taking drugs, violence or sex in a consentual and more mature way.
