All films in the UK are rated by the BBFC.
These ratings give families a guideline as to what films their children can watch. The BBFC's classification system reflect society current views and expectations as they survey 10,000 members of the public every 4-5 years.
The BBFC has two main principles:
- To protect children and vulnerable adults from potentially harmful or otherwise unsuitable content.
- To help children and families choose what’s right for them and avoid what’s not.
For our short film Down and Out, we found a template of a BBFC rating that was used in an actual film. After finding an appropriate template, I imported it into Photoshop to edit the title of the film and the details about rating etc.
We decided as a group that our short should be rated a 15 due to 'threat and horror' and also 'infrequent violence'.
You have carefully researched film classification and applied your knowledge to your own production.
