How much strong language is allowed n a 15?
In a 15 rated film there is expected to be some foul language used to make a scene seem more realistic and peoples reactions more normal. In a 15 rated film the amount of strong language you use has no limit. However usually in a 15 there is justification behind any strong language used
What about discriminatory or offensive terms?
There can be a use of homophobic or other discriminatory language, however the film must not endorse or condone any use of this language to a young audience as it will be very offensive if used by the audience members.
How much sex and nudity is allowed in a 15
in a 15 they are allowed sexual activity but usually without any strong detail. Some sex can be quite long in 15 films and there can be strong references towards sexual bbehaviour however there is no constraint on nudity in a non sexual way.
Can there be strong violence
There can be strong violence in a 15 but they are the producer and director cannot keep the camera on the injury for a prolonged period of time, e.g. being set on fire, being stabbed ETC.
Can you see drugs in a 15 rated film or video?
What I might see in a 18 rated film
nothing is prohibited in an 18 film as adults can choose what they view because they are independent enough to know what to expect in an 18 film. violence can be very graphic, sex can be shown, drug taking can be shown and discriminatory language can be used but not been encouraged.,
18 works are for adults and can contain strong issues such as:
- very strong violence
- frequent strong language (e.g. 'f***') and / or very strong language (e.g. ‘c***’)
- strong portrayals of sexual activity
- scenes of sexual violence
- strong horror
- strong blood and gore
- real sex (in some circumstances)
- discriminatory language and behavior
Can there be strong violence?
there can be any sort of violence where they can even dwell on the infliction of pain and can show the most graphic images whenever they want
Can you see drugs in an 18?
drug taking can be shown but the movie cannot promote the usage or misuse of drugs in any sense.
What might i see in a 12 or 12A rated film?
Difference between 12 and 12A
.
Will there be uses of strong language in a 12A or 12 work?
strong language such as the of strong swear words can be used but under extremely thin guidelines, this means it can only be used in a manner which is not provocative or offensive in any matter, for example they can use it in a supposed life or death situation or in a way which will make a joke more funny etc. Any strong language not used in this manner may result in the film receiving a 15 rating rather than a 12 which means the director would lose possible viewers and therefore profit on the film.
Do 12A films contain sexual behavior?
sex can be mentioned but not portrayed thoroughly, verbally jokes can be made and innuendo's implied as long as it at a young teenagers level of comedy and isn't really inappropriate
Violence in a 12 or 12A?
allowed moderate violence but isn't allowed to dwell on the infliction of pain, occasional gory moments are permitted but there is not allowed any emphasis on any injuries or blood. Weapons can be shown such as guns and bombs but weapons more capable for a young teenager to get a hold of e.g. knife are not allowed to be glamorized as they don't want to be seen promoting violence in young people.
What might I see in a PG film
PG means parental guidance so the films in general are suitable for general viewing in a cinema or at home but for younger children around 8 years old or younger they should view it with an adult
What bad language is present in a PG film?
there can be mild bad language such as "shit or son of a bitch" but anything past that will always be tough to pass as a PG film, if the language is used aggressively or there is a lot of bad language then the rating of the overall film could go up.
Violence in a PG?
there is not allowed to be violence which is too graphic, you are not allowed to dwell on any injury shown and the violence has to be mild. Themes such as bullying and or messing around with something dangerous must not be shown in a good light as the film board does not allow anything which could influence a young child's behavior. If it is found to have a negative impact on how children act then the film board might ask for a section to be removed or they might send back a higher rating then what the director wanted to pass the movie of as.
What might I see in a U?
U stands for universal and it means that pretty much any audience member can view and understand the topics raised. Children under 4 could react differently but it is impossible to know how they would react as different children react in different ways.
Bad language?
in a U film you are only allowed to use very mild bad language and very infrequently at that, for example the use of the terms "damn or hell" can only be used very rarely so that kids aren't influenced to bad mouth.
Violence?
violence will be very mild in a U with only brief fight scenes and generally a feeling of happy ever after, any moments of emotional stress or worry will be quickly resolved to keep up a light atmosphere, there may be brief scary moments but the scenes also have to balance it out with reassuring elements that everything will be fine in a minute.
