BBFC Seminar

We also had a talk from a woman from the BBFC, all about film classification. We were shown some clips and were told some of the issues that came up while classifying those scenes. It was interesting to see how filmmakers are very aware of the classification process and are able to push up to the limit of what can be shown at different certifications and show content which is allowed by the guidelines but may still seem very strong, for example the murder scene in Killer Inside Me or the robbery scene in The Dark Knight.
