Project Reflections 1

Before this project started, I didn't know much about media regulation. But since then, I have learnt some rather interesting facts, specifically about the BBFC:
  • The BBFC is independent from the government and were set up by the film industry itself.
  • An issue's context can have a large effect on the certificiate that a film receives.
  • The BBFC review their own guidelines approximately every 5 years to match public opinion.
