The BBFC is an independent, self - financing and non profiting medcia content regulator. They are the company that are in control of labelling films with age ratings in the UK. They claim that there mission consists of the following:
. Protect the public, and especially children, from content which might raise harm risks.
. Empower the public, especially parents, to make informed viewing choices.
. Recognise and respect adult freedom of choice within the law.
. Respond to and reflect changing social attitudes towards media content through provocative public consultation and research.
. Provide a cost-effective, efficient classification service within our statutory remit.
. Work in partnership with the industry to develop innovative service models to provide content advice which support emerging media delivery systems.
. Provide an effective service to enforcement agencies.
Researching into the BBFC is important as they are the ones who provide the age certificates for films. By looking through their mission objectives, it would be interesting to see how our final product works with their targets and then base off our age certificate.
As a group, we have decided to aim for an age certificate rating of 18+ as it will allow us to explore the depths of the horror genre, for instance, being allowed to put a lot of gore etc...
