The Regulations of film certification

The British Board of Film Classification is an independent, non-governmental body, which has classified cinema films since it was set up in 1912, and videos since the passing of the Video Recordings Act in 1984. BBFC have two guiding priniciples that they have to classify a film. These are:

• That works should be allowed to reach the widest audience that is appropriate for their theme and treatment.
• That adults should, as far as possible, be free to choose what they see, provided that remains in the law and is not potentially harmful

When applying these priniciples, there are three main qualifications for them:

1. If the material created is in conflict with the law, or has been created by means of a criminal offence.
2. If the material, either on its own or in combination with other context with a similar nature, may cause any harm at the category concerned.
3. If the availability of the material, at the age group concerned is clearly unacceptable to broad public opinion.

There are certain overarching factors that may influence a classification decision at any level and in connection with any issue:

The context in which an issue is presented is central to the question of it acceptability. Factors that may be taken account are:

• The expectations of the public in general and the film's audience.
• The film's genre
• The manner in which an issue is presented
• The intention of the film maker, as reflected in its effect
• The original production date of the film
• Any special merit of the film

The overall tone of a film may also affect the classification decision. If like a film has a dark or unsettling film that might disturb the audience at that certain category, then it might get a more restrictive classification. Other important factors are:

• The degree of fantasy
• The level of connection to the real world

The impact of the film is also taken into account.

Issues that concern at every classification level are:

• Discrimination - The classification on a film will take account of strength and impact of its inclusion
• Drugs - No film may promote the misuse of drugs and any portrayal of drug misuse likely to promote or glamorise the activity may be cut out of the film.
• Horror - For a young audience, factors can be the frequency, length and detail of the scenes shown. Also effects and outcome can affect it.
• Imitable behaviour - Things that glamourise or protray anti-social behaviour will get a higher classification. Films that protray illegal acts might get cut or rejected. Suicidal behaviour such as hanging, self-harm and suicide are more likely to be cut out if a more restrictive classification isn't suitable
• Language - Its hard to set out a general list of offensive words as different categories have different set of words which are acceptable to that classification
• Nudity - Natural Nudity is acceptable to most classifcations. Nudity with a sexual context with receive a more restrictive classification.
• Theme - Decisions on classification will take onboard the theme of that film but will depend on the treatment of it.
• Violence - Classification of a film will depend on the amount of violence in it. Violence that protrays as a normal solution to a problem will get a high classification then others.

In our film, we have decided to classify it a 15 as it will protray a certain amount of violence in the film but not as much to be an 18.

Research on the Thriller genre

The Thriller genre is normally considered to have fast pacing, frequent action, and resourceful heroes who must thwart the plans of more powerful and better equipped villains. Thriller normally take place in exotic places such as foreign cites, deserts, polar regions and high seas. The heroes in most thrillers are frequently "hard men" accustomed to danger: law enforcement officers, spies, soldiers, seamen or aviators. However, they may also be ordinary citizens drawn into danger by accident.

There is around 13 sub-genre for Thriller; Action Thriller, Conspiracy Thriller, Crime Thriller, Disaster Thriller, Drama Thriller, Erotic thriller, Legal thriller, Medical thriller, Political thriller, Psychological thriller, Techno-thriller and Religious thriller.

Action thriller: In which the work often features a race against the clock, contains lots of violence, and an obvious antagonist. These films usually contain large amounts of guns, explosions, and large elaborate set pieces for the action to take place. These films often have elements of mystery films and crime films but these elements take a backseat to action. Notable examples are the James Bond films, The Transporter, and the Jason Bourne novels and films.

Conspiracy thriller: In which the hero/heroine confronts a large, powerful group of enemies whose true extent only he/she recognizes. The Chancellor Manuscript and The Aquitane Progression by Robert Ludlum fall into this category, as do films such as Three Days of the Condor, Capricorn One, and JFK.

Crime thriller: This particular genre is a hybrid type of both crime films and thrillers that offers a suspenseful account of a successful or failed crime or crimes. These films often focus on the criminal(s) rather than a policeman. Crime thrillers usually emphasize action over psychological aspects. Central topics of these films include murders, robberies, chases, shootouts, and double-crosses are central ingredients. Some examples include The Killing, Seven, Reservoir Dogs, Inside Man, and The Asphalt Jungle.

Disaster thriller: In which the main conflict is due to some sort of natural or artificial disaster, such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes, etc., or nuclear disasters as an artificial disaster. Examples include Stormy Weather by Carl Hiaasen, Tremor by Winston Graham, and the 1974 film Earthquake.

Drama thriller: In which the story consists of the elements of a thriller and drama film. These films are usually slower paced and involves a great deal of character development along with plot twists. Examples include The Illusionist, The Interpreter and The Prestige.
Erotic thriller: In which it consists of erotica and thriller. It has become popular since the 1980s and the rise of VCR market penetration. The genre includes such films as Basic Instinct, Dressed to Kill, Color of Night, Eyes Wide Shut, Fatal Attraction, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Obsessed, and In the Cut.

Legal thriller: In which the lawyer-heroes/heroines confront enemies outside, as well as inside, the courtroom and are in danger of losing not only their cases but their lives. The Innocent Man by John Grisham is a well known example of the type.
Medical thriller: In which the hero/heroine are medical doctors/personnel working to solve an expanding medical problem. Robin Cook, Tess Gerritsen, Michael Crichton, and Gary Braver are well-known authors of this subgenre. Nonfiction medical thrillers are also a subcategory, comprising works like The Hot Zone by Richard Preston. Films such as Awake are other examples of medical thrillers.

Political thriller: In which the hero/heroine must ensure the stability of the government that employs him. The success of Seven Days in May (1962) by Fletcher Knebel, The Day of the Jackal (1971) by Frederick Forsyth, and The Manchurian Candidate (1959) by Richard Condon established this subgenre. A more recent example is the 1980 film Agency.

Psychological thriller: In which (until the often violent resolution) the conflict between the main characters is mental and emotional, rather than physical. The Alfred Hitchcock films Suspicion, Shadow of a Doubt, and Strangers on a Train and David Lynch's bizarre and influential Blue Velvet are notable examples of the type, as is The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith (who also wrote Strangers) and The Good Son starring Elijah Wood and Macaulay Culkin.

Spy thriller (also a subgenre of spy fiction): In which the hero is generally a government agent who must take violent action against agents of a rival government or (in recent years) terrorists. Examples include From Russia, with Love by Ian Fleming, The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum, and television series such as Mission: Impossible and 24 (the latter demonstrating a break from the norm by Robert Ludlum, as it is as much a psychological thriller as a spy thriller).

Techno-thriller: In which (typically military) technology is described in detail and made essential to the reader's/viewer's understanding of the plot. Tom Clancy defined and popularized the genre with his The Hunt for Red October, and is considered to be the "Father

of the Techno thriller".

Religious thriller: In which the plot is closely connected to religious objects, institutions and questions. While suspense stories have always shown a significant affinity for religion and philosophical issues (G.K. Chesterton's novel The Man Who Was Thursday has been called a "metaphysical thriller"; and Umberto Eco's novels The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum both display thriller characteristics), Dan Brown's 2003 best-seller The Da Vinci Code has led to a current boom in religiously oriented thrillers.

We have decide that we will make a crime/drama/psychology thriller.
