Film certification shows what is suitable for audiences. They ususally judge films on the amount of sex, violence, violent language and substance abuse. Parents sometimes used the certification to decided what they think is acceptable for their children to watch and not watch. U means universal and that anyone can watch it. This certification is usually found on cartoons, where this is no mature content. PG means children can see with parental guidance. 12A is when anyone 12 or younger must be accompanied by an adult to see the film. 12, 15, 18 all mean that you have to be the shown age or older to see the film. R18 means a film that exceeds the BBFC's 18 certificate and usually contains pornographic footage. The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) is an organisation responsible for the national classifications of films and video games in the UK. For our film we decided to rate it a 15. Although our film has no sex, nudity, violence or violent language; it does have alcohol and drug abuse. Therfore we think it would be inappropriate to anyone below the age of 15, and may cause offence to parents or anyone watching it.
