BBFC Age Rating

U suggests Universal. This means that anyone of any age can watch the film however the BBFC can't confirm whether the picture they are watching can upset a child.

PG means parental guidance. this means that the film requires adult supervision if a child was to watch the film as there could be something inappropriate features within the film or there may be a misunderstanding about certain things with a child.

12A means someone at the age of 12 needs someone at the age of 18 present to watch the film. 

12 means that the viewer has to be a minimum of 12 years old to watch the film. 

Children below the age of 15 arent allowed to watch or buy a rated 15 film as it contains scenes that aren't suitable for younger years.

18 implies that is the strict minimum age for viewer or purchasing a film of this age rating, because it would contain scenes of a sexual or violent nature.  

BBFC Chosen Age Classification

According to my Survey analysis, the majority of people who took part in the survey were aged 16-20 years old. I intend on having a age restriction of the film being a 15 to benefit these ages in the sense that younger people are able to watch the film. I also do not have any intentions on having any kinds of nudity or much use of strong language within my film, its purely a troubled girl that goes through a series of unfortunate events to the point where she is needed to be exorcised. Therefore i will be able to cater for the younger adult/elder teenagers, as well as general adults, in the sense that i would be able to reach a wider audience.
