Audience Research- BFFC website 2014 guidelines (Gavin Fernandes)

  Violence

. There is allowed to be slight amounts of violence however it must not show any form of them in any great detail. only depending on the situation is there allowed to be hints of gory moment but with no sign of blood or injury.

 Sex

. Sexual activity may be briefly and discreetly portrayed. Moderate sex references are permitted, but frequent crude references are unlikely to be acceptable. 

 Nudity

. There may be nudity, but in a sexual context it must be brief and discreet.

 Agression 

. Agressive discrimination is very likely to not be tolerated however it may be used at a very toned down level. 

  Drugs

. The misuse of drugs must be infrequent and should not be glamorised or give instructional detail.      

Discrimination

Discriminatory language or behaviour must mot be endorsed by the work as a whole. Aggressive discriminatory language or behaviour is unlikely to be acceptable unless clearly condemned.

                                      

Language

. There may be strong language. Very strong language may be permitted, depending on the manner in which it is used, who is using the language, its frequency within the work as a whole and any special contextual justification. 

Sex

. Sexual activity is allowed to be portrayed, but usually without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour, but the strongest references are unlikely to be acceptable unless justified by context. Works whose primary purpose is sexual arousal or stimulation are unlikely to be acceptable.

Nudity

. There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context. There may be nudity in a sexual context but usually without strong detail.

Threat

. There may be strong threat and horror. A sustained focus on sadistic or sexual threat is unlikely to be acceptable.

Drugs 

. Drug taking is allowed to be shown but the work as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse. The misuse of easily accessible and highly dangerous substances is unlikely to be acceptable.

Discrimination

. The work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour, although there may be racist, homophobic or other discriminatory themes and language.

                                            

Sex

If the film is age rating of 18 then you can expect there to be scenes of a sexual nature which tries to inform the viewer with use of some explicit pictures.

Violence

. The violence in a 18 rated film also takes a step up, there will be scenes in the film where there are high amounts of blood and injury.

Drugs

. Drugs may be also shown freely with detail and concentration been shown. An example of a 18 rated film would be Paranormal activity 4.

For our thriller opening that we are going to be making it is very important that we know what we cam and can't do when filming, our age will be 15+ as the years below is a little harder to convey a good thriller with all the aspects needed eliminated any limitations that could come across.
