BBFC Rating

What are bbfc ratings? BBFC stands for British board of film classifications, this was an organization that censured films for things that could be offensive for certain age groups, such as adult content , violence or inappropriate language. Every film is given a BBFC we know it nowadays as age rating. On films it will say BBFC ratings such as U, PG, 12+,15+ and 18+ these are the usual ratings there is also another not so common rating which is PG13 which is where someone younger can either see the movie with a parent or with a child of 13 and above. So what I will do now is to go over different superhero and sci-fi films and what their BBFC ratings are so that we can determine what rating our film should be.

This is the DVD for Batman Vs Superman, this is rated a 12. This is because it is not an indecent film, however it does contain violence which may only be appropriate for children of 12 and above.

This is the same for the X-men films they are usually a 12 rated film as they are films aimed at people from the age of 12 and above.

This is the BBFC for suicide squad this film was rated as a 15 in some countries  however in stricter  countries it was rated an 18, as there were some concerns whether the violence was to violent for people of the age of 15 to even view. 

For our film we will consider what our BBFC rating will be. We will need to consider the amount of violence we use, inappropriate language and adult content. However as we are only doing a film opening we will not be using a lot of these criterias, but we do need to consider if we were to make it into a full film we will need to consider what would be in our film. So as a group we discussed that our BBFC rating will be a 12 as it will not contain adult content however it will contain some violence in fighting scenes.
