Media Coursework – Film.

Section 1
Films are marketed in many different ways. One of the main needs a film has, after it has been made, is certification. ‘U’ means universal and anyone can watch a film with that certification. ‘PG’ means parental guidance and anyone can watch that film but children have to be accompanied, or have the permission of an adult. For films with age certifications (12, 15 and 18), you have to be that particular age or above that particular age to watch it, e.g. for a film with the certification of ‘12’, you would have to be 12 or over to watch it. Films could have the certification of ‘12’ due to mild language, mild violence/ mild sexual references. Films could have the certification of ‘15’ due to a medium level of language/violence/sexual references. Films could have the certification of ‘18’ due to strong uses of language/violence/sexual references.
