- Allowed me to grasp the size and importance of organisations by visiting their offices
- Meeting employees from both organisations was useful in getting an idea of the daily activities of the PCC and BBFC
- There was the chance to benefit from the opinions of real examiners/commissioners on the systems and hear their well-informed views on their organisations
- We were able to ask relevant questions about the current state of the BBFC and PCC and have them answered authoritatively
What have I learnt?
- The PCC seems to be a thriving organisation from the look of its expensive office in Holborne, yet is a smaller organisation than i thought, with only 17 members and the chairman wandering around amongst them all in a much more family-like setup than I had envisioned.
- The BBFC examiners are for some reason restricted to watching exactly 5hrs41mins of footage each day as outlined in their job descriptions
- As well as learning new things, I have also deepened and consolidated my knowledge of PCC and BBFC regulations and case studies I was already familiar with
- Only 3 works were banned by the BBFC in 2009, a much smaller figure than I expected
- The PCC has a surprisingly large amount of influence on the industry considering its size
- The BBFC may cease to classify videogames in the near future, handing the responsibility over to PEGI
