Notes on
Certification
Certification is put into place in order to protect children from the world of media. Also, to protect children from unsuitable and potentially harmful content in films and videos. This is put into place to give users information they might need to be aware of before making there film. Certification is in place to give the potential viewers an insight into the type of film they are thinking of going to watch before deciding whether or not they want to view it. The company that are in charge of certifying a film before it is released are a company called BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) , they basically assess the film and then place an age rating to the film. This predominately ensures that the film is suitable for viewing. Once they have decided on a certification then they will place a small symbol like the ones below to show people the rating. The ratings are listed below:
All ages admitted, there is almost nothing unsuitable for children aged over 3.
All ages admitted, but certain scenes may be unsuitable for young children. Should not disturb children aged 8 years or over.
Films under this category are considered to be unsuitable for young children. Cinemas are only permitted to supply tickets to see a 12A-rated film to children under the age of 12 years if they are accompanied by an adult, aged at least 18 years. However, it is unlikely to be suitable for children under the age of 12.
It is suitable only for persons aged 12 years and over, not to be supplied to anyone below that age. It is illegal to knowingly rent or sell a 12-rated VHS, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD or game to anyone under the age of 12.
Suitable only for persons aged 15 years and over, not to be supplied to anyone below that age. It is illegal to knowingly rent or sell a 15-rated VHS, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD or game, or supply cinema tickets for a film with this rating, to anyone under the age of 15.
Suitable only for persons aged 18 years and over, not to be supplied to anyone below that age. It is illegal to knowingly rent or sell an 18-rated VHS, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD or game, or supply cinema tickets for a film with this rating, to anyone under the age of 18.
It is illegal to sell a film with this rating to anyone under the age of 18, and it is illegal to sell a film with this rating by means of mail order, or online or by telephone.
Certification will help us and our film as it allows us to to know what category of certification we fit into and gives us an insight into how films are placed into the different categories.
