Research into BBFC classification guidelines – how will this influence your production?


The influence the BBFC classification guidelines has on our productions, is that it will make sure we are targeting the right audience as well as considering other audiences whom it is not suitable for. More importantly, In order to protect children from unsuitable and even harmful content as they are significant groups who need to be taken firstly into consideration.In in our productions, we have a child who plays as a ghost, it does not then mean its suitable for children under 12 as there blood  and and threat involved and some children may suffer from this sort of event.

However, it will help us to consider the age rating for our productions as it will helps us to make sure our taget audoence will enjoy it.Also,this independent scrutiny prior to release ensures the highest possible level of protection and empowerment.it helps us to think about issues such as discrimination, drugs, horror, dangerous and easily imitable behaviour, language, nudity, sex, and violence when making decisions. The theme of the work is also an important consideration. They also helps us to consider context, the tone and likely impact of a work on the potential audience.
