3. The Internet Movie Database is an online database of information related
to films, television programs, and video games, including actors, production crew
personnel, and fictional characters featured in these three visual entertainment
media.
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), originally British Board of Film
Censors, is a non-governmental organisation, funded by the film industry and
responsible for the national classification and censorship of films within the United
Kingdom. It has a statutory requirement to classify videos, DVDs and some video
games
4. This film category is more aimed for wider audiences as it allows all
ages to watch the following film and scenes will be much more strict in
this category such as the use of foul language in the film such as the F
word or the B word a typical used words as they do not want children
to inherit this type of language.
U rating this is the much more accepted age rating as it is acceptable
for any viewer at any age, as these types of films will be movies such as
animated cartoons and these will be movies such as the incredible as it
is targeted for the younger audience and shows positivity in the film
and good teachings to children.
PG standing for Parental Guidance, this is the age rating which is
suitable for every age rating but ages below the age of 12 may need a
parent to accompany them, although it will not have explicit content
but may include bad words in the movie and may not be suitable for
ages such as 8-9 etc.
5. These film rating is the much more older audiences hence the fact that they
are in the red zoned colour.
12 and 12A this is the audience that film makers create allowing people that
are 12 and above have the availability to watch the film as they are the
suitable age for the following film. The 12A states the fact that the audience
has to be atleasrt12 and accompanied by an adult to watch the film and no
one under this age is available to watch the film, unless they are with a adult
giving them permission to watch the film.
15 age classification is targeted for the 15 and above audience as film at this
age rating will most likely contain strong languages, violence, sex and drugs
etc. And no one below this age rating can watch the following film due to
extreme scenes.
18 age classification is targeted for the much older audience and the higher
age rating this is like the 15, it will contain the same but it will be much
more extreme for example sex scenes will include sex but in the 18 category
it will be included with much more nudes and explicit scenes with higher
editing such as blood killing.

12. For this project I am researching various films which relate to the genre of
Thriller and I have researched film ratings and how this can affect a film and
how the audience view the actual film. Various websites such as IMDb has
given me the availability to research about specific films and find out inside
information about the film such as for example The Gangster Squad IMDb
has provided information such as the box office, the actors in the film and
age ratings etc. The SBBFC is a group of people that would put a certificate
on a film or a video game allowing them to have the power to choose the
appropriate audience for the film or game that the product is made.
Also from this research I have found ways that the film shows its products to
the audience and how they would present it to the audience, also the thriller
films that I have researched are quite popular and a hit with the audience
since with the release as the rating and reviews from it is very good more
over i have found out that most thriller films are mostly suitable for ages
from 12 and above.
