Film watchdog guidelines published

The British Board of Film Classification will be looking at how films will be certificated and will be paying closer attention to the " psychological impact of horror" examining "gore" among the strong visual detail which may be featured in films.
As we are studying British horror I thought that it would be in the interest of many to post this new change .
They said "We and the film industry will work during 2014 to improve understanding of this very important rating," he said.

One film that has caused much debate is  The Woman In Black with a rating of a 12 A I believe the film should be a rating of a 15. But the BBFC say that it had been correctly issued with a 12A
certificate.

Another great article on the matter http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/david-cooke/film-ratings-bbfc_b_4567743.html
Here it explains how the BBFC will deal with the certification of horror films
A few goals include
• We will give even greater weight to the theme and tone of a film or video, particularly around the 12A/12 and 15 level;

I believe this is a great idea as I think people can get confused at what young people should really be viewing.

• We will particularly take into account the psychological impact of horror as well as strong visual detail, such as gore.;

No one can tell what effect a film may have on a young viewer I think personal temperament should be taken into account and maybe a new certificate to introduce. People are more sensitive to others but should this just be left to the individual to decide or should advice be given in reviews or Dvd covers ?

• in relation to sexual content, the public is particularly concerned about the sexualisation of girls and pornography. The content of music videos and the ease of accessibility of online porn are special worries;

I believe that BBFC should introduce a new film certificate of 16 only persons this age can watch a film with sexual content in.

• on language, the public urged us to be both stricter with the sort of language we allow at U and more flexible about allowing very strong language at 15, stressing that context, not just frequency, is the most important factor in how they perceive language in films.

I think that swearing can make a film and depending on the content I don't see the harm in the odd F word of such is viewed by a mature audience.
