As we are doing a horror film the certificate that we use must be looked into with a lot of detail as if you get the certificate wrong it falls back onto the you ( the producer ) Many horror films range from a 15 rating to an 18 depended on whats in them. The reason that people of that certain age watch these films rather than younger viewers who may become upset by the film.
The 'u' rating stands for universal meaning suitable for all ages but mainly children above the age of 4. The film should have a positive outcome and have reassuring counterbalances to any violence, threat or horror.
'PG' (Parental Guidance) means that children below the age of eight should be accomunied buy an adult and parents must considor the content before sending childre 12 and under to see the film.
12A means that children bbelow the age of 12 may only view the film if they are accomponied by an adult and 12 is only used in video works ( buying dvd's ) in which you have to be 12 or older to purchase the content.
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
