Different films have different ratings that are going to be shown in cinemas. The rating shows what age is suited for the film. These ratings are based on things such as language, discrimination, violence, sex and drugs in the films. In the most recent ratings it was the public who were asked to vote their views on the film.
Currently there are 7 british catagories that films can be rated:
Firstly U - This rating it classified to be suitable for all audience and doesnt include any violoence, drugs , Natural nudity and no discriminaty. This rating would not be suitable for our theme of thriller.
PG- PG stands for 'parental guidance' and this catagory is not suitable for young children this is because the themes are more serious compared to a U and there may be reference to illegal drugs and some frightening sequences. This is still not suitable for our thriller.
12/ 12A- These films are only suitable for 12 and over, 12A is only for cinema use and 12 is for home films. Children under the age of 12 may be upset by some of the content as there is moderate language, sexual activity may be breif and basically mature themes are present.
15- Suitable for 15 and over. This rating has a strong horror genre, with sexual content but just not detailed. There is strong voilent scenes and their can be a strong drug reference but it should not encourage them. This rating is more suitable for our thriller opening sequences and it allows us to be more flexible on our story line.
18- This is only suitable for adults, this is because there is explicit sexual activity shown, the themes are very mature and usually to do with the law or sexuality. Detailed voilent scenes are shown.
18R - These films are only to be shown in licensed cinemas and scenes are so explicit. This rating is not appropriate to our thriller scene.
