These are examples of the film
regulation certificates created by the
BBFC. They are put in place to ensure
that children are protected against
things they shouldn’t be seeing (e.g
violence, murder and abusive
language). They can also help
determine and help the audience
distinguish what genre the film might be
and what they should expect to see. For
example a horror is usually certified a 15
or 18 but if it were certified a PG the
audience will know that it wont be very
scary or gruesome. A 12A certificate is
used in cinema but not on DVD. If a 12A
is used on a film the DVD is more than
likely to receive a 12.
The genre of film I have chosen to create a
trailer on is romance. Having done some
research on romance films I have found
that most are certified 12 or 15 depending
on the context of the film. Due to the plot
ideas and target audience in which my
trailer is aimed at I am more than likely to
certify it a 12.
