BBC film regulation

 1) Research the BBFC in more detail: what is the institution responsible for? How is it funded? What link does it have to government? This history of the BBFC page may help.

Responsible for the national classification and censorship of films exhibited at cinemas and video works. In October 2019, the Government announced that they would not introduce age- verification under the DEA, but instead it would be introduced through the broader online harms strategy.
2) Read this BBFC guide to how films are rated. Summarise the process in 50 words.
They watch and view the films , many people by themselves and then they give their rating based on the inappropriate language, nudity, violence.

3) Read this BBFC section on landmark decisions. Why did The Dark Knight generate a large amount of media coverage regarding its certificate? Do you agree with the 12A certificate The Dark Knight was awarded?
Due to the sudden death of the actor heath ledger who played joker. Yes because in the movie there isnt that much gore, but there is a lot of violence and not much swearing.

4) What are the guidelines for a 12A certificate - Blinded By The Light's cinema certificate (it was rated 12 for its home video release)?
Films rated 12A are suitable for children aged 12 and over. However, people younger than 12 may see a 12A so long as they are accompanied by an adult. In such circumstances, responsibility for allowing a child under 12 to view lies with the accompanying adult.

5) The BBFC website offers an explanation of every classification it makes and detailed case studies on selected titles. Look at the rating for Blinded By The Light and explain why it was given a 12A certificate for cinema release.
language
There is infrequent moderate bad language ('wanker') as well as milder terms ('bloody hell', 'shit', 'crap', 'frickin', 'sod', 'Jesus').
discrimination
There is a scene in which two men are attacked by members of the National Front, resulting in brief bloody injury detail. There are racist references made to P slur as one character is spat on and made to move from his seat in a restaurant at the request of some racists. Racism is not condoned within the film.

Deutschland 83: Case study

Image
  Introduction: Reviews and features Read the following reviews and features on  Deutschland 83 : The Guardian - Your next box set: Deutschland 83 The Guardian - Deutschland 83 Pity the Germans don't like it 1) Find one positive aspect and one criticism of  Deutschland 83  in the reviews. Negative:   it had shed half its starting audience, with only 1.72m viewers. Not quite “the flop of the year”, as Bild called it, but underwhelming nonetheless. Positive: It's a perfect moment in a near-perfect series. 2) Why does the second Guardian article suggest the Germans didn't like the show? By focusing the story around Martin Rauch, a young East German border guard going undercover in the west, it doesn’t just make the viewer empathise with a Stasi agent on a human level , instead it makes us engage with the socialist regime’s worldview, in which a military exercise in West Germany poses a potentially existential threat. 3) Find three 'below the line' comments fro...
