Planning: Classification

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is a non-governmental body for classifying cinema films was set up in 1912. All decisions on the classification of a film are based on the guidelines from BBFC, they are regularly updated which is based on the current views of different films.

Our group has decided to rate our film a 12A, this is because we want to allow the widest range possible to view our film. Teenagers are at the stage when they are understanding what they want to have as a career so we thought by opening the film up to all teenagers it will allow those teenagers that are aspiring to be motor-sport drivers to understand the industry and its consequences clearly. There is nothing in our film that will make it a 15 as we knew not to add these elements as it would mean our target audience would be even more specific and this is what we were trying to avoid.
