Role of relevant regulatory bodies - P5(d)

The film industry is required by law to comply with individual agency codes to ensure product is suitable for the public market and individual consumer use. The film for example has gotten a rating of 12 by the British Board of Film Classification what means that the movie is only allowed to be watched by people over the age of 12. This is bad for the producers because that decreases their potential audience and decreases the number of film copies sold.

Ofcom - focuses on communication, they regulate such sources as tv, radio, mobiles, etc

British Board of Film Classification - agency that classifies the movie on a rating depending on the content present in the movie

British Video Association - agency that represents the interest of publishers and the owner of the rights fro various movie ideas.

Film Distribution Association - agency responsible for theatrical distribution of movie in the UK

Press Complains Commission - agency that deals with various complaints about the content of media such as newspapers and magazines.
