Media Evaluation: Question 5


We also used the BBFC to classify our age for our film, using the aspects included from research and planning. We used aged 15 because within our full film we would have included strong language and horror/violence throughout the film. We would also apply for a rating of 15 because of the ideas of the hypodermic needle model. This could mean that if anybody that watched the content under the age of 15, it would put ideas into their head that the specific content (i.e murder) would be acceptable. The 15 is also used because of the cultivation theory, to stop younger ages from watching films that include things such as murder, because the more of it they see, the more acceptable it will become. To stop this the age rating is put in place, but also the murderer could be shown to be punished, proving it is wrong to the viewers that are allowed to watch it.
