U- The "U" stands for universal. A film rated U is suitable for all audiences aged four years and over. This means a film with the "U" age rating will not explore any bad language or sexual content. These sort of films are aimed towards children and families.
PG- The "PG" certificate stands for parental guidance, meanin that the film is for general viewing, but some scenes in the film may be unsuitable for children of a young age. It is advised that Pg films should be viewed by kids of age 8 older as the scenes would not unsettle them at that age but may upset that of a younger audience.
12A and 12- These ratings mean that the video content shouldnt be viewed by children younger than 12 as the content isn't suitable for people younger than that age. 12A means that a 12 year old can see the film in the cinema with the regards of being accomponied by an adult. Some may ask what is the diference between 12 and 12A and the only difference is that a 12 year old can only view a 12A rated film within the company of an adult.
15- This certificate means no-one under the age of 15 can view the film as it is not suitable for any one under the age of 15 even if they are accomponied by an adult.
18- Films rated 18 means that they are for the adult audience and are most likely to axplore bad language, sexual scenes and possible drug use and violence. No one under the age of 18 is allowed to view an 18 rated film.
R18- R18 is a legally restricted category. Films that involve explicit works and strong sexual and fetish material involving adults. Films with this rating may only be viewed in specially liscened cinemas and only be supplied to adults only in liscenced sex shops.
Our main task would fall into the 15/18 rating as it is aimed at the teenage audience but involves drug and alcohol use.
