When discussing BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) we decided that we were going to ensure that our film was a 12, this meaning that only people at the age of 12 and older are able to watch the production due to including; moderate violence, which will be included as it is a common action film convention, threat again typical as the antagonist will be a alarming frightening character further. Moreover, to add more of a comical sub genre some mild language may be used however nothing extreme to ensure that it remains a 12, alongside this, to ensure that the film appeals to the secondary audience of females we have also decided to include romance as a sub genre, therefore sexual references may be included however done subtly and mildly to ensure it is not too obvious yet maintains effective.
To ensure we have chosen the appropriate BBFC rating, we further researched into other action films and their BBFC ratings and institutions to see if we could make comparisons or any links.
- The Hunger Games Mocking Jay Part 1 (Liongsgate): 12 Due to the moderate violence and threat of the action of the film, I believe this is a 12 as the threat would be unsuitable for a child as it may appear frightening and distressing.
- James Bond: Casino Royale (Columbia Pictures): 12A due to the acts of violence commonly found within action films, sexual nudity and a scene of torture.
- Lord Of The Rings (New Line Cinemas): 12 due to some mild language to create drama and to reflect emotion within characters and some violence that some viewers may find offensive at a younger age.
Other BBFC certificates we could've applied to our filming are shown below:
