a double reflection - codes of practice (to be continued)

Relevant code of practice e.g. channel guidelines and scheduling 

With Thrillers, they are aimed at older children i.e 14 plus so when showing it needs to be an appropriate age rating and be on a suitable time.

When showing on television we need to be aware of the water shed hour and make sure thrillers are shown in this time slot, due to typical elements of thriller genre such as violence, language, sexual content, drug and alcohol abuse, scenes of gambeling and racism. Because of all/some of these factors being in thrillers it makes them inappropriate for younger audiences.

when rating a film you need to take into consideration the elements of the film and who is it suitable for? You need to evaluate the extent of the content and is too explicit for some audiences?

films that contain swearing, drug use, racism, extreme violence and sexual scenes should be rated 15 or 18

films that contain moderate violence, alcohol abuse and gambolling are usually 12 or 12A 

anything under that is U or 12/12A but they wouldn't be Thriller so therefore they are irrelevant

We have decided our Thriller will be rated
