1.The BBFC is the UK's regulator of film and video, providing age ratings such as U, PG and 12A. They are a designated body so have legal powers to rate, and sometimes cut or even reject works.
2. The major decisions are made by the chief executive, president and vice presidents in the BBFC. After they make a decision compliance officers watch the movie and they note details of the general theme or context.Compliance Officers’ reports include a brief synopsis of the work, details of the issues, and an argument in support of the recommended age rating.
3.The issues faced when classifying is based on whether the material is in conflict with the law,whether the material may cause any harm at the age rating concerned,whether there is a conflict in access to media product,and lastly whether the presentation and sex and violence in the movie is appropriate for the audience.
4.Why did The Dark Knight generate a large amount of media coverage regarding its certificate? Do you agree with the 12A certificate The Dark Knight was awarded?
a: It gained a lot of media coverage because the audience thought the violence was too strong to be contained at that category. However i do not agree with it getting the certificate because it is unethical and exposes a young age range to violence which may have a major psychological effect.
5.There are dangerous behaviour, discrimination, drugs, language,nudity and sex and violence.
6.Chicken was rated 15 due to the incorporation of very strong language, strong violence, sex references which is not appropriate for a younger age because some of the scenes have a psychological effect and exposure to these scenes have more of an effect on a younger audience because they are more influential.
