Film Classifications Research - Movie.

I've done a research regarding film classifications according to BBFC - British Board of Film Classification. I visited their website: www.bbfc.co.uk and used the information on there to create my research. I then used a movie maker and sound recorder to present my research in a creative way. Please watch the video below to hear my general research on different film classifications and read the text below to see the uses of film classifications in thriller genres.


Usually thriller films are classified 12A upwards. It does depend on the content of the thriller to decide whether it would be 12A/12, 15 or 18 rated. For example, if the content is more gory, intense and heavily psychological, it would be rated 15. However, if it is more drama/action or fantasy themed thriller than it would be 12A classified - however it depends on other factors affecting the classification as well, such as use of language, imagery, etc. Another example is if the film was erotic/very gory/adult-focused then it would most likely to be classified as 18- appropriate.
