2. THE BBFC
The BBFC is an independent, self-financing media content regulator.
They operate transparent, consistent and trusted co-reglatory
classification and labelling systems in the UK.
They aim too, “protect the public, and especially children, from
content which might raise harm risks” “empower the public,
especially parents, to make informed viewing choices”. They hope to
do this with their guidelines and film classification methods, which
ensure that only those of a suitable age watch the content they
should be watching. Below is a website linking to all their
classification methods.

3. MY AGE RESTRICTIONS
After studying all the age restrictions on the BBFC website I have
decided to make my film a „15‟ rated film. The reasons for this are
because it will contain some violence due to part of the film being
set in a war scene, but it will mainly focus on the comedy aspect
throughout the film. The trailer for my film will be rated ‟12/ 12A‟ to
appeal to a wider range of audience.
