Target Audience

PG rating
PG stands for Parental Guidance. This means a film is suitable for for most people of different ages, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. A PG film should not u[set or make a child feel uncomfortable for a child aged around eight or older

 Some films are given a PG certificate but have not been made with a young audience in mind. A recent example of a film mostly enjoyed by grown ups but passed PG would be Saving Mr. Banks.  A PG film will not contain any theme which is inappropriate for a child. PG works can explore challenging issues such as bullying, bereavement or racism. There may be mild bad language (such as ‘shit’ or ‘son of a bitch’) in a PG film, but the context and delivery are always important. For example, if the language is used aggressively or if there is a great deal of bad language, a work may be passed at a higher category.

Again i do not believe that this kind of rating would suit my film as we are looking to include content that would make the audience feel exited and scared about what will happen to the actors. We are also looking to include stories of families that could be seen as harmful to audiences of a young age who would not like it.
