There are certain overriding factors that may influence a classification decision at any level and in connection with any issue. These factors are of particular importance when a work lies on the borderline between two categories. Here are the factors they have to consider when classifying a film:
• Context – The audiences expectations, genre, filmmakers intention, production date, special merits of the film
• The tone and impact – If a film has an unsettling tone throughout it is more likely to receive a restrictive classification.
• Release format –A film could require different cuts/classification when releasing on DVD than in cinema and a DVD could occasionally receive a higher classification that in the cinema because of the increased possibility of under-age viewing
