Hi, this is my AS Media blog. It contains research and planning for my coursework production (slasher opening) and media exam. I'm in a group with Kate and Poppy. The working title of our production is Camp Ivy. Our production is strongly influenced by films such as Friday the 13th, and its set in a rural location like in Eden Lake.

KH - BBFC Age Ratings


BBFC Classifications
Examiners for the BBFC classify films for theatrical release using guidelines. The examiners look at the following issues:

 
  • discrimination
  • drugs
  • horror
  • sex
  • nudity
  • language
  • imitable behaviour
  • sexual violence
  • violence
  • theme
  • context
  • tone
  • impact on audiences feelings
  • format e.g. DVDs create a higher risk of underage viewing.
We have rated our film as a 15. This is because there is a strong theme of stalking and violence. The BBFC guidelines for a 15 classification allows the following to appear in films:
  • strong violence
  • frequent strong language
  • portrayals of sexual activity
  • strong verbal references to sex
  • sexual nudity
  • brief scenees of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
  • discriminatory language or behaviour
  • drug taking
 
 
A 15 classification allows for strong violence, which is what appears in our opening when the scream queen is killed. We felt this rating was appropriate.
