Also whilst in London we visited the BFI library as it the biggest film library in the world. As well as this we went to the BBFC headquarters and sat in a lecturer where one of the employees from the BBFC told us about the work they do and how and why they regulate films for the consumers and audiences.
She showed us some clips of films that were either banned or had to be cut before they were given a BBFC. An example of this was the beginning of The Simpsons movie.
Then after this the lecturer went on to talk about how the BBFC used to regulate video games before PEGI began doing video games. The BBFC would play any video game they were regulating in its entirety from beginning to end before giving a certificate which seems like a logical way to do it. However PEGI don't do this. Instead they just play specific scenes and levels and not the whole game.
