The BBFC stands for the British Board of Film Classification. Films have age ratings in order to protect children from any harmful content in films which shows people whether the film will be unsuitable. BBFC examines and age rates films before they are released, they then apply the film to the standards in order to reach a final age rating. The films go through the same process when they are released on DVD and Blu-Ray. When classifying a film, the BBFC look at issues such as drugs, horror, danger, bad language, nudity, sex, discrimination and violence when making a decision. The age ratings include; U, PG, 12A, 12, 15, 18 and R18. Age ratings affect our target audience as the film has to have a correct age rating for our target audience. For example, if a film is targeted at people aged 12, the film can't be rated at a 15 as the target audience would not be allowed to view it. Our target audience for our film are teenagers so we will be rating our film at 12A in cinemas and 12 for DVD. We believe that this rating would be suitable as it does include some scenes with a lot of tension and there is a structured storyline which younger viewers might not understand. In 12A films, moderate violence is allowed and action sequences may be present. In a 12/12A film, there cannot be strong language, discrimination, sex or bad horror scenes.
