BBFC session

This lesson we researched on the BBFC website the guidelines to the two different children's ratings, which are; U, PG. Below you will see the guidelines for a U film which is what my group had to research;







We then watched the opening's to four different films rated a U or a PG, these were; Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone, Home Alone, Watership Down, Up and guessed the classification of each one. Below you will find my estimated classifications and why I guessed them and the films proper classifications;
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: I estimated it was rated a PG due to a minimal amount of horror and my estimate was correct.

Home Alone: I estimated it was rated a PG due to; a reference to nudity and use of violence in the form of weapons and my estimate was correct.

Watership Down: I estimated this a PG but though it should have been given a higher rating due to the fact that there is a lot of blood and violence and all rabbits die my estimate was correct. This would be re-classified nowadays as it is an old film and contains far too much violence for the innocent eye.

Up: I estimated this a U due to the fact that it was a completely clean film and my estimate was correct.
