The Age Rating System
Depending on the content, every film will get one of these:
- U - Universal means that this film is suitable for all ages from young children to adults
- PG - Parental Guidance, adults may want to check the film or watch with young child
- 12 - You have to be 12 or over to watch or buy this film
- 12A - Under 12's can watch this film in the cinema, with someone of age or older
- 15 - 15 years old or over to watch or buy this film
- 18 - 18 years or other to watch or buy this film
- R18 - Only licensed stores of shops will have them I.E Sexshops
Our group has decided due to our content that the age rating of our film will be either a 12 or a 15. This is because our film is is going to be in the style of Noir and trying to keep it clean. It will feature a few uses of strong language but nothing to cause offense and some scenes of violence and implied sex scenes. We wanted to keep the rating low so it could reach a wider audiences, of younger generation to an older generation...who wouldn't appreciate over use of violence, sex and strong language.
