The BBFC stands for the British
Board of Film Classification and are very important to the film industry. It was
set up as a public consultation under the human rights Act 1998. BBFC’s guideline
concerns will not normally override the principles that adults should be able
to choose their own entertainment. The bbfc are group of experts highly experienced
in field of regulator of the moving image. The group serve as a social function in
society which advises and protects viewers from moving images (film). They provide
public information that empowers film viewers and parent to make appropriate viewing decisions
for themselves and those in their care. This can be seen in the age groups pg
and 12a which allow parents to make informed decisions weather to let their
child or children watch certain films. This was seen in the reviling of Spiderman
where content was arguably unsuitable for children. Therefore giving the
power to the parent who could decide whether to allow their child to watch the
film. This highlights that they are advising and protecting the audience, and
giving them power to make their own decisions when at a certain age. This is empowering adults to make informed decisions on there children and them selfs which highlights the bbfc are giving power to the audienece. They also help to protect vulnerable viewers and society from the effects of viewing potentially harmful or unsuitable content while respecting adults freedom of choice. This suggests that they are protecting viewer and trying to help them make informed decisions on films which could be unsuitable. The BBFC do make exceptions these are likely to be seen: where the material is in breach of the criminal law, or has been created through the commission of a criminal offence, where material or treatment appears to the BBFC to risk harm to individuals or, through their behaviour to society – for example, any detailed portrayal of violent or dangerous acts, or of illegal drug use, which may cause harm to public health or morals. This may include portrayals of sexual or sexualized violence which might, for example, eroticize or endorse sexual assault, where there are more explicit images of sexual activity which cannot be justified by context. The illustrates how important the BBFC is as they advise and give power to adults and the film industry. If there was no BBFC the film industry would be harmful to young children and where there is no advise available adults can be mistaken of what they are going to watch. This highlights the importance of the BBFC as if it was wasn’t there the film industry would fall apart.
The BBFC is very important as it set age limits to protect the public from seeing harming and demoralising scenes. if the BBFC was not there to set age limits and advise the public on what there watching, there could be damaging effects on the public as they would be exposed to thing they shouldn't be or exposed to things they didn't want to view. This would expose children to stuff they are two young to understand. In addition it could show children it is acceptable to do stuff which it is not. this is why it is important that there is someone in place to protect the public.
