Research into Target Audience: BBFC cetificate

After researching into what different certificates include when rating a film, I decided to rate my film a PG.
A PG Film includes:

- The Film is suitable for general viewing, but not for younger children.
- Any issues in the film are appropriate for the majority of this age group and nothing should upset a child of eight or over.
- It is allowed to explore challenging issues such as racism and domestic violence but drugs and alcohol will not be glamorised and if a young child is seen drinking or smoking then it should be clear to the viewer that this is bad.
- Only mild bad language is allowed.If there is too much or if bad language is used aggressively  then it'll be moved to the next category.
- References to sex are acceptable if the activity talked about or shown is implied and lacking in detail.
- Minimal detail to violence and little blood is allowed, but it should not be shown how the injury is inflicted in strong detail.
- Weapons such as knives should not be glamorised and any potentially dangerous behavior shouldn't be shown
- Illegal drugs or misuse of drugs can be passing but shouldn't be a focus. The film should strongly demonstrate that the use of drugs is wrong.

I decided to go for this certificate as the content can only be understood by older viewers and it is aimed towards teenagers.
