LO4: Proposal for Peak Sheffield Classification and General Feedback

I propose that Peak Sheffield should be classified as "U" for Universal, based on the BBFC's classification system. This classification means that the film is "suitable for all" - it is set within a "positive framework" and contains no discrimination, drugs, strong language, nudity, sex, threat or violence. Since there is no offensive content here whatsoever, it is an easy classification to make.

The people who I showed Peak Sheffield to in my three screenings (screening photos can be seen in a previous blog post) agreed with this classification unanimously. Below are some comments from members of the audience:

"It was certainly a U" - Tim

"I would say that it is definitely a U because it's not in any way offensive and it is suitable for viewing by all" - Carolyn

"It's a U, there's nothing in it to make it otherwise" - Ben

Therefore, based on my own opinion and film feedback, I would say that the film should, without a doubt, be classified as a U.

Below are some more general feedback comments on Peak Sheffield from audience members:

"It was a fascinating insight into the landscape of Derbyshire." - Carolyn

"I thought it was a good mini fact-file - I think I would definitely visit some of those places. I didn't realise that was all on our doorstep." - Josie

"I liked the fact that it started off and built; sound-wise, it's quiet, and then you hear those few occasional chords, and then you got going with the soundtrack and the narrative. It went somewhere visually and audibly at the same time. So it was good in that respect." - Brent

LO4: Evidence of Focus Group Screenings

The Peak Sheffield documentary was shown in three separate screenings (see below) to audiences including different ages and genders. This made for a diverse audience overall and good feedback.
