BBFC - work on target audience
BBFC stands for British Board of Film Classification. It is important our opening title sequence follows certain guidlines so that it is suitable for our target audience. The BBFC is used in order to protect children from unsuitable and even harmful content in films and videos and to give consumers information they might need about a particular film or video before deciding whether or not to view it, the BBFC examines and age rates films and videos before they are released. This independent scrutiny prior to release ensures the highest possible level of protection and empowerment.
We have chosen to make our horror a "15" as it will increase the audience size, so a bigger profit will be made.
The "15" logo means no one under the age of 15 is allowed to see it at the cinema or buy/rent it on DVD. They are not suitable for children.
No theme is prohibited, however the treatment must be appropriate for 15 year olds.
15 works can contain the following::
