Assessment 3

18 Films

 

Material that breaches a law or is an offence of the law.

 

Where the explicit images from sexual acts that cannot be justified by context. Such images may be confined to R 18 only but some are in ordinary 18 films.

 

Where there are images that risk harm to individuals through behaviour. Such as violence or dangerous acts and harm to public health morals.

 

Sex scenes I 18’s can be used as education purposes and are permitted.

 

Sex material containing certain only normal sex can be passed as 18. However films, which have strong fetish material or incredibly explicit animated images, are also confirmed to R18 films. Material which is unacceptable for R18 films are also acceptable for ordinary 18 films.

15 Films

 

 

Discrimination

In the whole of the film there must not be a single reference or phrase that can be related back to a racist or racially derogative term. Should a film incorporate this it need to be given a higher rating or remain unclassified.

                    

Drugs

In the film if there is a particular scene that incorporates drugs it must not fully endorse drug use. It must not make the idea of taking drugs appeal to audiences of the film.

 

Horror

Scenes of strong threatening behaviour are allowed unless the scene becomes sadistic or even sexualised.

 

Imitable behaviour                 

In the film, there should be no scenes that glamorise easily accessible weaponry. There should also be no scenes in which suicide or grievous bodily harm to oneself should not be shown so as to allow these acts to be imitated.

Language

Certain words such as “fuck” can be used but must not be used in an excess. However the stronger words must only be used if they can be justified by the context of the scene.

 

Nudity

There are no constraints on the acts of sex in a 15 film. However the acts performed must not be in great detail or be too explicit.

 

Sex

Sexual activity must not be in strong detail and loose references to sexual acts are allowed. However the strongest of these references are not permitted unless the context justifies them. A sexual act with the sole purpose to arouse will not be permitted.

 

Theme

No themes are not permitted as long as the content is suited for persons of age 15 or higher.

 

Violence

Strong violence is allowed but it must not dwell on the actual infliction of the damage and the scene. The strongest of these gory images are unlikely to be accepted. Strong sexual or sadistic acts of violence are not permitted. Verbal references to sexualised violence must be discreet and have strong justification to the context.
