    Classification-

    A film with a 'U' certificate means it's suitable for children aged 4
    and older. The 'U' itself stands for Universal and the text underneath
    the 'U' rating states that it's suitable for all, as this is the age that
    most children begin to remember things such as film and TV.

    General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young


    children. A PG film should not unsettle a child aged around eight or
    older. Unaccompanied children of any age may watch, but parents
    are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger, or
    more sensitive, children.

    Films classified 12A and video works classified 12


    contain material that is not generally suitable for
    children aged under 12. No one younger than 12
    may see a 12A film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. Adults planning to
    take a child under 12 to view a 12A film should consider whether the film is suitable
    for that child. To help them decide, we recommend that they check the content
    advice for that film in advance. No one younger than 12 may rent or buy a 12 rated
    video work.

    No one younger than 15 may see a 15 film in a cinema. No one younger


    than 15 may rent or buy a 15 rated video work.

    No one younger than 18 may see an 18 film in a cinema. No one younger


    than 18 may rent or buy an 18 rated video work. Adults should be free to
    choose their own entertainment.

    Film Classification-
    As a group we have decided our short film is rated a PG. The reason why we have decided
    the short film is a PG is because there is no bad behaviour that children cannot watch, the
    film isn’t sensitive to any children so it wouldn't unsettle the children who are watching. Our
    short film is suitable for all viewers that is why it is rated the lowest due to everyone being
    able to watch.
