Legal restraints

The BBFC (British board of film classification) monitore film trailers to make sure that they stick to the legal requirements before they get displayed to the UK audience. The BBFC make sure that the trailers have no extreme content, for example offensive, disgusting, etc. It is illegal to show or distribute indecent images of children (Under the age of 18) if someone film producer were to do this they could be classed as a pedophile. It is also illegal to show, play, etc. any racial hatred, obusive, sexual orientation or copyrighted footage. Copyrighted footage is something that someone else has produced and someone else has taken it righting it off as their own. It is not just the film buisness that are held to these legal requirements a different example would be that tobacco buisnesses are no longer allowed to use advertisement on their products persuading people to buy them. This is because tobacco is harmful and the legal requirements are inforced to try to stop people from smoking or taking up smoking.
