Do you think the way films are regulated is sensible, useful to society and achieves its aim of protecting the vulnerable and upholding the law?
Is there anything you think could be done to improve the system?
- The main focus should be on providing information to viewers and there should be less emphasis on just regulation.
- Obviously regulation is important as people need a guideline and films aren't suitable for everyone but there should be less of a focus on rating and the BBFC need to work harder to make sure people (especially parents) are aware of the information provided as most aren't.
3) Horror
- Where films are targeted at a younger audience, classiffication desicions will take into accuont factors such as frequency, lenght and detailof scary scenes/horror effects (music & sound) and the outcome.
- Older audiences often pay to see horror films for the shock factor.
2) Drugs
- Not allowed to promote the misuse of drugs.
- Any work promoting or glamourising the activity may be cut.
- Work emphasising the dangers may recieve less restrictive classification.
