    BBFC RATING CRITERIA

    By: Eniola Silva

    What is the BBFC?


    The British Board of Film Classification is an independent, nongovernmental body, which has classified cinema films since it was set up in 1912, they decide what age rate a film should be. The BBFC are a vital tool in helping to prevent under-aged children from watching violent and inappropriate films.

    12A/12: Suitable for 12 years and Over? Or


    15: Suitable only for 15 years and Over?
    Our film matches the criteria of a 15 rated film because the overall production will show moderate sexual, violent and horrific activity (the domestic violence perpetrated by James). However, we do not show explicitly show the violence, we only lead the audience in the direction of it through the use of covert editing, which makes the violence relevant and in line with the criteria of a 15 film. In regards to the aspect of drug taking, our film does not show content such as that an so we do not promote drug taking in either a positive or negative way- we so not show drug consumption at all.
