Age Restirctions

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) rates both motion pictures and videos (and an increasing number of video games). County authorities are ultimately responsible for film ratings for cinema showings in their area but for most of the time all County Councils generally accept the BBFC rating, although, films can technically bypass the BBFC as the BBFC has no legal power (technically, films do not even have to be submitted for classification) to be classified by the Counties the film is shown, in but due to practicality this is rarely done. County Councils often ignore the BBFC advised rating and rate films with anothe BBFC certificate in their county only, eg: the BBFC rates a film as 15 but the County council gives the film a 12A rating in their county. Rating certificates from the BBFC are not legally binding whereas those for videos are.

The current BBFC system is:

Uc (Universal Children) Suitable for all, but especially suitable for very young children to watch on their own. (formerly used for video and DVD only - classification not currently used)
U (Universal) Suitable for all. (The board states that while they cannot predict what might upset a particular child, a 'U' film should be suitable for audiences aged 4 and older)
PG (Parental Guidance) General viewing but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. (It is the board's policy that movies rated 'PG' should not disturb a child of about 8 years of age or older; however, parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset young or more sensitive children.)
12A (12 Accompanied/Advisory) Suitable for 12 years and older. No one younger than 12 may see a '12A' film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. (Exclusively for cinema, '12A' was first implemented on The Bourne Identity and, contrary to popular belief, not on Spider-Man, which was first released months before, under the previously fully restrictive 12 certificate, and then immediately re-released to take advantage of the new guidelines).
12 Suitable for 12 years and older. No one younger than 12 may rent or buy a '12' rated video. (Until 31 August 2002, this mandatory certificate used to apply to cinema exhibitions as well)
15 Suitable only for 15 years and older. 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.
18 Suitable only for adults. No one younger than 18 may see an '18' film in a cinema. No one younger than 18 may rent or buy an '18' rated video.
R18 (Restricted 18) To be shown only in specially licensed cinemas, or supplied only in licensed sex shops, and to adults of not less than 18 years. (These films contain sexually explicit, pornographic content.)

2 Cups of Corn Syrup ( for voscosity and colour )
1 Cup of water ( for balancing voscosity )
10 table spoons of corn flour ( for making the blood less transulent )
10 Tea spoons red food colouring ( for colour )
10 Tea spoons blue food colouring ( for colour )
A few drops concentrated mint ( for taste opitional )

I made this at 11 o clock in the morning as I had a dental appoinemtnt at 12 and I came into school and 1 and went straight to Leamans work room to undergo our filming

1o Clock



I came into school and went straight to the work room and cemal and alex brought up all of the camera equipment . Reece , Cemali , Matt Benent , Dave all also came up to the work room .

We firt of got everything sorted in terms of arraning all of the desks and chairs for the filming , after we had completed that we stained the fake blood with the shirt that Nathan / Dave will be wearing , we only had one attempt at doing this because otherwise we would of needed another shirt just in case it went wrong

We got all the filming done in god time and finished around 1:55 which so it took us 55 minutes to get all of the planning and filming done correctly .

We the then returned the equipment to our locked so it dosnt get misplaced or stolen .

At 5:30pm we got our equipment and Matt Lench drove me , Cemal , Toby to Charlotte Spillmans house so we got undergo more filming .
