The BBFC
In order to preserve its independence, the BBFC's income is derived solely from the fees it charges for its services, calculated by measuring the running time of films, DVDs/videos and other works submitted for classification. The BBFC is not organised for profit, and its fees are adjusted only as required to cover its costs.
The BBFC's financial affairs are administered by the Council of Management. Members of the Council are drawn from the manufacturing and servicing sections of the film industry, as well as from banking, corporate accountancy, TV broadcasting and production and the charity sector. Council of Management members are excluded from classification decisions and policy making. There must be no actual or perceived conflict of interest, while at the same time members have to command the confidence of our customers. The Council of Management is also responsible for the senior appointments at the BBFC.

Target Audience

The majority of people that watch horror movies are males. This is why horror genre films are predominantly targeted at men. This will be our target audience also. We are targeting men aged from 15 - 25 years old.
The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) States that this is the biggest audience for the horror genre. We want to make our trailer so that it can be viewed at the rating of 15 from the BBFC. This means that we would not be cutting of our audience by making the trailer a 18 rating. By increasing our audience this will make the trailer more successful.
