On Wednesday a member of the BBFC came and gave us on talk about the classifications system and the way in which they work. Although we had gone through a lot of the information in class beforehand, it really helped to look at it again and further explore some of the regulations and the way in which they classify. We were able to look at lots of interesting casestudies and as a class work out what we would classify each clip using the age rating classifications.
It was useful to look at legal issues and accountability, I also learnt what they did when they were unsure what to rate a specific film. She also told us that the BBFC had got films wrong sometimes and classified them at a rating which was too low e.g. Dark Knight. I was surprised about the information we learnt about the BBFC classifying games, they get given cheats and have to play the games within about 2 days and give them a classification. I was surprised to find out that next year they wont be classifying games which we were told was dissapointing for the BBFC.
