Main Issues - Photo or pattern sensitivity, motion sickness and reactions to low frequency sound

• Small number of viewers sensitive to flashing and flickering light, or some shapes and patterns and may experience seizures or other serious physical effects.
• Some viewers experience feeling of motion sickness or other symptoms when viewing works which feature hand held or otherwise moving camera work, or which feature low frequency sounds.
• Responsibility of film makers and distributors to identify works in which these issues may arise so viewers are given appropriate warnings.
• Such effects are not normally taken into account in classification decision.
• If it is obvious that the work is highly likely to affect a number of viewers, BBFC may advise the distributor to have appropriate warnings in place.
• In extreme cases, display of appropriate warnings may be required as a condition of classification.
