Welcome back! Today, I will talk about Film Classification!
WHAT IS FILM CLASSIFICATION?
Film Classification is the age restriction in which some are placed onto some films. This is because the film may have content that is not suitable for a certain age. For example, different classifications include 12A, 13, 15, and 18.
BBFC
The British Board of Film Classification is a non-governmental organisation that deals with the classification and censorship of films within the United Kingdom. They deal with cinema, film certifications. video releasing, editing, video games and mobile operators.
