The BBFC stands for British Board of Film Classification. It is an independent, non-governmental body which their job is to classify films using age ratings known as the certification of films. The issues looked at when classifying a film are discrimination, drugs, horror, language, imitable behaviour, nudity, sex, sexual violence, theme and violence. Once these subjects are considered, as well as the tone of the film, they then decide what the age rating should be.
Here are the different types of classifications:
Short films would need to be certified and given an age rating to notify the audience of who the film is suitable for.
As I have chosen to create a short film in the Thriller genre it will most likely be suitable for over 12's. For the majority of Thriller films, it would be classified as 12a or over as it might imply things such as violence which may not be suitable for younger children.
