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.

BBFC Classifications Guidelines

According to the British Board of Film Classifications,  "It is important that the BBFC’s classification standards are in line with what the public expects and that its decisions take account of what the public finds acceptable at each age category."
Most horror movies are rated '15' and 18, because they contain sexual scenes and violence (and gore).

the BBFC's classification guidelines would highly influence our production, and since we intend to make our movie accessible to as many people as possible legally, we will produce a '15' rated movie. This is because the themes of our movie wouldn't be entirely focus on violence and sex. There would only be a strong sense of threat and horror. Drugs and discrimination are not themes that we intend to use, that's why we believe that our movie should be classified as a '15' rated movie.
