The BBFC (The British Board of Film Classification) is an independent organisation which runs without the aid of the government. The main goal of the BBFC is to rate each film and DVD/Video for the appropriate audiences.
The classification system they have includes 7 categories: Universal (U), Parental Guidance (PG), 12, 12A, 15, 18 and R18. As the categories increase, the content becomes more mature, in content such as violence, discrimination and sexual scenes.
Our audience
Our audience would be audiences that enjoy drama and deep storylines in film, which is typical of an older, more developed audience. This is because they can grasp the storyline better and have a better understanding of the world around them. As our film is also in the sub-genre of motorsport, we feel the audience would typically be male, yet the lack of action and use of drama may entise a wider audience to the film. Due to the deep emotion in the storyline of our film, we feel that our film should be rated a 15. This is because the main plotline includes the decline and rise in mental state, when can be upsetting to audiences. These scenes would include a large amount of profanity and, due to the crash, some detail of injury would be included in the film. However, as there is no mallicious over use of these scenes, we feel it should not be rated an 18.
