A U rating would mean that the film is aimed at and viewable by only those aged 4 and above a film rated using this label would not show any images threatening or distressing for a audience of this age such a gore horror or drugs and violence as we are creating a thriller this would obviously not be the correct rating.
A film rated as a PG is usually aimed at and suitable to children aged 8 or above. And PG stands for parental guidance which can suggest the film contains scenes that may be unsuitable for that child such as mild language.They will not however contain extreme violence as they may be a danger of the child replicating action seen.No sexual content and no extreme cases violence or scenes of a frightening nature.This obviously may not be a suitable rating for our thriller as scenes may be of a frightening nature and contain to much gore for an audience of this age.
A 12 film is aimed at and will be suitable for children of only 12 and above. Usually within these films dangerous and violent behaviour should not appear regularly and sexual activity has to remain brief Mature natured themes are acceptable but only moderate violence and scenes of gore are acceptable. This may not be a suitable rating for our thriller we believe this audience may be too young to show the scenes of threat, weapons and gore that will be featured within our thriller.
An 18 rated film is viewable by any adult unless this film has been created or sold illegally. An 18 may contain horrific images drug use and scenes of a sexual nature.
We have decided to rate our thriller as a certificate 15 viewable for people of only this age and above because we feel that the scenes being shown are not violent and horrific enough to be considered as a 18 only suitable for adults. But we feel the content will be suitable for a teenage audience because we feel this is the target audience for most thrillers.
