Age Rating

U rating: The u symbol stands for universal , U rated films are suitable for four years and over age range. It is quite a difficult rating as it can be difficult to predict what would upset a child. There could be kissing in u rated films , very mild fighting and very ,mild language such as : damn, hell. Our film in relation with the U rating : Our film is going to involve some scenes of strong violence and some bad language throughout , therefore it is definitely going to be above a U rating.

PG rating: PG stands for parental guidance this means it may unsettle children below the age of 8 but it is generally considered for general viewing. When parents are taking their children to a PG rated film they should consider if their child is sensitive and may be upset by the film. There may be mild bad language in a PG and mild violence. This will not be the rating of our film as our film will involve some strong language and violence throughout.

12A and 12 rating: 12A rated films are not generally suitable for children under the age of 12 , but they may be allowed to see the film if accompanied by an adult. The 12 rating is put in place for retailers because it is simpler that only people above the age of 12 can buy the film. Our film is not going to be this rating either as we are sure it is not going to be suitable for anyone below the age of 15 and we are aiming for the older audience.

15 rating: Films rated 15 are not suitable for children under the age of 15. The theme of the film is not limited , it can be any theme as long as it is suitable for a 15 year old . Some of the things you may see in a film rated 15 are :Strong violence , frequent strong language, portrayals of sexual activity, strong verbal sex references, nudity and drug taking. Our film is going to be rated at 15 as we are going to incorporate strong violence throughout and also frequent uses of language .


Our group: skills

Tom: I am mainly going to be in the film as one of the characters as that is my strength , I will help as much as I possibly can with the editing and give input where possible but it is not my main strength

Sam: Sam is probably the strongest member of our group as he is good behind the camera as well as in front of it. He is the technical person of our group and is very good at editing where at the same time he is also a good actor

Brantley: Brantley is going to be the filmer in our group as me and Sam will be the characters in the film. He may appear in some scenes for a small period of time but his main role will be operating the camera.
