We also had a examiner from the BBFC come in to talk to us about classification which was really useful.
Again, we've already learnt a lot about the guidelines and touched on some case studies but it was great to look at everything in more depth which helped to reinforce certain things like the main issues in classifying films.
I learnt that the BBFC would no longer classify video games, so their main focus will be on films and dvds. They have some bilingual examiners who deal with foreign films. I was suprised by how few people deal with so much material.
In class we generally think that the BBFC should move towards giving information and not just classifying films, and it seems that the BBFC also agree with this.
