Our bbfc film ratings

BBFC'S do a rate and watch service that provides and allows the owners rights to hold a cost-effective digital age rating. This can be done with out the government and rates them from a u-r18 . With in this it considers the amount of violence , drugs,language, behavior,nudity,theme and the impact  that consists through out the whole film .



Main Issues of content and what will need to be considered for this reason-

Discrimination- there is no racial or prejudiced discrimination, however there are some words that viewers may find offensive.
Drugs- there is no links, good or bad within our film opening which include drugs, however tobacco is involved.
Horror- there is no content of horror within this film opening.
Imitable behavior- this is due to a fight scene, smoking and vandalism, which can  be easily imitated by easily influenced people.
Language- this is due to language which s inappropriate for people under the age of 15. This is because most of the language includes swearing.
Nudity- there is no content including nudity within our film opening.
Sex- there is no content or references to sex within our film opening.
Theme- these include, violence, gang culture, social class.
Violence- in our film opening, there is a large content of fighting, however these scenes are not graphic (blood, gore, 'cringe-worthy) to gain a higher age rating.

This classification does not contradict our target audience because our target audience is under 35's, however, we have decided on a classification of a 15 because the is imitable behavior, violence and bad language. This has not received a higher classification because there are no graphic scenes, racial/ prejudiced discrimination or any relation to illegal or harmful drugs, (positive or negative) apart from tobacco.



After considering the information from above we have decided that our movie opening will be rated a 15 however this classification does not contradict our target audience because our target audience is under 35's, however, we have decided on a classification of a 15 because the is imitable behavior, violence and bad language. This has not received a higher classification because there are no graphic scenes, racial/ prejudiced discrimination or any relation to illegal or harmful drugs, (positive or negative) apart from tobacco.  The language is bad , But with nothing else being included with in this and as the swearing is not out of control we have decided to keep it at a 15 .We have also taken in consideration of what the BBFC rates normal violent action films .
