Objectivity - by fact, not opinion; to remain neutral. Subjectivity - lead by opinion; designed with an agenda. Pure documentaries, that objectively present subject matter, are considered educational and are therefore often exempt from classification by the BBFC. These documentaries are awarded 'E' - educational rating. However, some documentaries are afforded the standard BBFC rating, showing that there is a signification proportion of the film that might be considered subjective. Asif Kapadia directed Senna rated 'E', he also directed Amy which was rated '15'. They both had the same brief and access to archive footage. The outcome for each though was very different - Senna was exempt, while Amy was classified as '15'
