The British Board of Film Classification (bbfc) rate all the films before they are released to the public if the film does not fit into the rating criteria it won't be shown, every film that is shown or is to be shown in the UK it has to go through this process. Each film is rated accorded to the contents in the film.
Each film rating has different expectations
For example 'U' is said to be suitable for 4 years and over, but anyone is welcome to see it. It may have some scenes that will upset small children but it is hard to categories what with upset them.
'PG' is again suitable for any age but has more scenes that may upset some children, although children don't have to be supervised parents have to take into consideration whether they think the film is suitable for they're child.
'12A' and '12' are slightly different in they way they are used but the criteria is exactly the same. '12A' is gerally only used in cinemas and no child under the age of 12 is permitted to see this film without and adult. And '12' is only used for video works no child under 12 can buy or rent a film with this rating.
No one under the age of 15 is allowed to see, rent or buy a film rated '15'.
Again like 15 rated films no one under the age of 18 is allowed to rent, see or buy an '18' rated film.
To make our film for a selected target audience we should try and stick to the guidelines the bbfc do to make sure a film will be suitable for who it is aimed at
