BBFC Ratings

In this lesson I learned about film rating, I learned about the classifications U and PG.  U means ‘universal’ and the film is suitable for all. PG means ‘Parental guidance’ is when a child of any age can watch with guidance from there parents and should not harm any child eight or over.

We learned them in class because we are studying children’s films and all children’s films are classified as U or PG, this is so when we come to making our film opening sequences they are either a U or a PG.

In the lesson on classification we watched various parts of children’s films all of them were either a U or a PG and we had to guess what the classifications of these films were.  Such as the film ‘Up’ was a U because it had no horror, bad language or imitable behaviour. ‘Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone’ was a PG because it had mild horror and mild language.
