U

• The U symbol stands for Universal. A U rated

film must be visually suitable for audiences of

four years and over. The film must not contain

any sorts of bad violence as it may harm the

viewers who are viewing the movie. On the

other hand the film can have brief fight scenes

which characters are put in danger, but this

can not be extreme. Also, very mild language

can be used. Examples of very mild language

are hell and damn. Bad language can not be

used in U rated films as it mat affect the

viewers.

PG

When you see a PG rating symbol on a film

poster or on a film cover. This symbol means

that the film should not affect a child aged eight

or older. However, their parents are forced to

consider if the film is suitable for younger or

kids who are sensitive. The film may have the

use of some verbal abuse but this has to be

mild language. There must be no violence as

this may affect the viewers.

A 12 A is the the age for a film that is

suited for 12 year olds. It also means

that a child under 12 is allowed to

watch it if accompanied with an adult.

12 A is only used for films and is not

used for DVDs.

When a film has a 12 on it it means that it is

not suitable for children under 12. This is

because the film may contain unsuitable

scenes for someone under 12 and it may have

themes in it that parents do not want their

children to see. The difference between a 12

and a 12a is that an adult can accompany

someone under 12 to a 12a but not to a 12.

Also a 12 certificate is found on a DVD when a

12a isn‟t.
