How has the Board and the process of film classification changed?

  • The board has become much less strict from that of the past. I think this reflects the way in which society has progressed and significantly influenced what is now acceptable.
  • The catergories for classification has changed a lot over the years, I think now it has a much better structure. Its changed from 'A' and 'X' to UC,U, PG, 12, 12a, 15, 18, R18
  • There has been lots of change of people who manage the BBFC
  • New technologies have had a major effect on the way films are classified. For example the introduction of things such as the home cinema system, DVD, Blu Ray
  • Lots more public involvement nowadays, they have input into the classification process, and have a voice within the BBFC
