I have recently found some information on 20th century films,and the BBFC and this will help me and my group because we will have some sucsessful film companies to base our idea on and we will also know what is acceptable in a 15 classification film.
2Oth Century Films
-Also known as 20th Century Fox, Fox 2000 Pictures, or Fox.
-One of the six Worldwide major American film studios.
-The company was founded in 1935.
-Some of 20th Century Fox's most popular movie franchises include the Star Wars, Home Alone, Die Hard, Ice Age, Revenge of the Nerds, X-Men (film series), Alien and Predator series.
-Is a result of the merge of two entities; twentieth century pictures and fox film corporation.
-Also has a telivision company called: 20th Century Fox Television.
BBFC:specifically 15 classifications:
DEFINITION:'15' – Suitable only for 15 years and over
No-one younger than 15 may see a ‘15’ film in a cinema. No-one younger than 15 may rent or buy a ‘15’ rated video or DVD.
Theme
No theme is prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate to 15 year olds.
Language
There may be frequent use of strong language (eg 'f**k'). But the strongest terms (eg 'c**t') will be acceptable only where justified by the context. Continued aggressive use of the strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable.
Nudity
Nudity may be allowed in a sexual context but without strong detail. There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context.
Sex
Sexual activity may be portrayed but without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour.
Violence
Violence may be strong but may not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. Scenes of sexual violence must be discreet and brief.
Imitable techniques
Dangerous techniques (eg combat, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on imitable detail. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised.
Horror
Strong threat and menace are permitted. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable.
Drugs
Drug taking may be shown but the film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse.
Me and my group will ensure we follow these guidlines during the production of our title sequence.
