Age certificates;

In the film industry there is 5 different certificates to determine what age range of people should watch what films this is a legal requirement for every film in this blog pot I will be talking about the 5 different age ranges and the reason that theses age ranges are in place in the uk; I will also be discussing what I feel my film will be.

   The first certificate is the U this is simply meaning that it is unrated and that there is not any guidance as to who should watch it; it is open to everyone and should not involve any scenes which could affect the public.
    The second age range is PG this means that any child under the age of 8 needs to be assisted by an adult the reasoning for this is that they may be scenes in there which a child under the age of 8 could find distressing however it Is totally the parents responsibility as to whether there will allow their children to watch it and is available to the general public.
    The next age range is 12 this means no child under the age of 12 is recommend to watch the film and if they want to watch it they should watch it with a parent present. The reasoning for them not watching is because the film contains content which some may find offence or might cause harm onto children it is parent’s responsibilities whether they should watch it or not.
  The next age range is 15 this is the same concept as 12 this means that no child under the age of 15 should watching this film and if the of then there should be a parent present.in 15 films things which may cause offence is strong violence, language and behaviour, nudity and drug taking; these things are normally present so if someone is going to find these things offense it is advised to not watch this film.
    In my media film I feel that my work will be a 15 this will be because there will be scenes which may scare the audience and it may also contain some swearing which someone who is under the age of 15 should hear.
