Why do we need regulation in film and TV?
● Age appropriate
● Recommended ages or viewing contexts
● Should some things be banned?
● Regulatory bodies:
➢ ASA​ - advertising standard authority
➢ PEGI​ - pan european game information
➢ IPSO​ - independent press standards organisation
➢ OFCOM​ - office of communications
➢ BBFC​ - british brand of film classification
The BBFC Classification Guidelines
The classifications are:
➢ U​ – Suitable for all
➢ PG​ – Parental Guidance
➢ 12A​ – Only used for films shown in cinemas and suitable for 12
years and over. However, people younger than 12 may see a 12A
so long as they are accompanied by an adult
➢ 12​ – Video release suitable for 12 years and over
➢ 15​ – Suitable for only 15 years and over
➢ 18​ – Suitable only for adults
● Are film producers / directors operating in a moral framework or a
legal framework?
● Does society have a duty to protect vulnerable members? People
with mental issues, children or elderly?
● Taboo issues​ - sex, drugs, suicide, violence, terrorism, abuse,
contenrious representations of children.
