 This is a table showing the different age restrictions and it shows which film can have what in.

This is helpful to me because when I create my film I will be able to see what to give my certification as because I can see what is allowed and what's not. for example if my clip had bad language in it, I would not give it a 'U'.

 

This clip is an example of a film which would not be accessible to people under 18. It has strong language, violence and short sex scenes in and it has this rating to basically protect people under this age.
