Differences between U and PG

In a U film, any child can watch the film alone, this is because in a U film there are no drugs, horror, discrimination, nudity, or sex. This makes it completely safe for a child to watch.

Whereas, in a PG film a child will need an adult to watch it with them because it can contain references to illegal drugs, mildly bad language at the worst, non-sexual nudity, and moderate violence. This makes it so that an adult has to be present when watching so that they know if what their child is watching could be bad.

We will probably create a U because in a PG film it contains the following;


Discrimination

Discriminatory language or behaviour is unlikely to be acceptable unless clearly disapproved of or in an educational or historical context.  Discrimination by a character with which children can readily identify is unlikely to be acceptable.

Drugs

References to illegal drugs or drug misuse must be innocuous or carry a suitable anti-drug message.

Horror

Frightening sequences should not be prolonged or intense. Fantasy settings may be a mitigating factor.

Imitable behaviour

No detail of potentially dangerous behaviour which young children are likely to copy. No glamorisation of realistic or easily accessible weapons.

Language

Mild bad language only.

Nudity

Natural nudity, with no sexual context.

Sex

Sexual activity may be implied, but should be discreet and infrequent. Mild sex references and innuendo only.

Theme

Where more serious issues are featured (for example, domestic violence) nothing in their treatment should condone unacceptable behaviour.

Violence

Moderate violence, without detail, may be allowed, if justified by its context (for example, history, comedy or fantasy).

and in our clip we wont be using any of these features so that is the reason why we are making this clip a U and not a PG
