BBFC Research

BBFC = British Board of Film Classification

 

These are the ratings for films from the BBFC:

 

 

 

U - “The U symbol stands for Universal. A U film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over. However, it is impossible to predict what might upset a particular child, especially at this lower end of the category range.”

 

PG - “PG stands for Parental Guidance. This means a film is suitable for general viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. A PG film should not unsettle a child aged around eight or older. Parents should consider whether the content may upset younger, or more sensitive, children”

 

12A and 12 - “Films classified 12A and video works classified 12 contain material that is not generally suitable for children aged fewer than 12. No one younger than 12 may see a 12A film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. Adults planning to take a child under 12 to view a 12A film should consider whether the film is suitable for that child. To help them decide, we recommend that they check the BBFC insight for that film in advance” 

 

15 - “No-one under 15 is allowed to see a 15 film at the cinema or buy/rent a 15 rated video. 15 rates works are not suitable for children under 15 years of age”

 

18 - “Films rated 18 are for adults. No-one under 18 is allowed to see an 18 film at the cinema or buy/rent an 18 rated video. No 18 rated works are suitable for children”

 

I think that our film that we have create ‘On The Run’ would be classed at an age rating of a 15 because it contains lots of scene where it has guns because I would class it at an action/thriller because it has suspense and mystery because it doesn’t give the story away because you don’t know why the army/swat team are after the person. The person clearly has no place to go so he has run away to an abandoned site to hide from the swat team. I think that this is the right age audience because it give a wide range of audience to watch.
