In this lesson we looked at clips from a few movies with certificates of either U or PG and decided whether we thought they were either one. We also looked at the BBFC website and researched the criteria for PG and U certificate films. This showed what we could and couldn’t reference in our own children’s film and also (when we were watching the clips) how certain elements of the criteria have changed over time, for example, ‘Watership down’ is comparatively gorier to ‘Harry Potter’ even though it is a U and ‘Harry Potter’ is a PG. This is due to the fact that the BBFC will have had different opinions on what would have been suitable for children in the 1970s to now.
