Classification of the Film opening P4

I've chosen the classification 12 according to the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification). It means that my film opening is not suitable for children under 12 years old. My film opening is a scary one, so I decided not to put a PG because it may scare audience of that age. I've chosen the 12 rating because in films of that classification violence can exist, but there should not be any emphasis on blood or injures. (In PG there should not be any violence at all)

BBFC Classification (research) P4

All classification decisions are based on the BBFC’s published and regularly updated Guidelines. The Guidelines are the product of extensive public consultation, research and the accumulated experience of the BBFC over many years. They reflect current views on film, DVD and video game regulation.         

• The U symbol stands for Universal. A U film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over.

• There is no bad language in such films. Except mild bad language (eg ‘damn’ and ‘hell’).
• At all categories heterosexual and homosexual sexual behaviour and activities are treated the same. There could be occasional very mild references to gay or straight sex at U.
• A U film may include brief fight scenes or moments where characters are placed in danger. Baddie heroes are not allowed to carry guns. However, "good" characters can (but unlikely) to do it.
• There is no references to drug using, unless it is a clear anti-using message. 

,

• 12A means that anyone aged 12 or over can go and see the film unaccompanied.
• There may be strong language (eg 'f***') at 12 or 12A, but it must be infrequent. The context of the strong language is important. 
• Sex may be briefly and discreetly portrayed at 12 or 12A.
• At 12A, moderate violence is allowed but it should not dwell on detail.
• Dangerous behaviour (for example hanging, suicide and self-harming) may be present in 12 or 12A works but will not dwell on detail which could be copied or present those activities as pain or harm free.

• No-one under 15 is allowed to see a 15 film at the cinema.

Here is the list of things that can be included.

• Strong violence
• Frequent strong language (eg 'f***').
• Portrayals of sexual activity
• Strong verbal references to sex
• Sexual nudity
• Brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
• Discriminatory language or behaviour
• Drug taking
• There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context.

• Films rated 18 are for adults. No-one under 18 is allowed to see an 18 film at the cinema or buy/rent an 18 rated DVD. No 18 rated works are suitable for children.

18 works are for adults and can contain strong issues such as:

• very strong violence
• frequent strong language (eg 'f***') and/or very strong language (eg ‘c***’)
• strong portrayals of sexual activity
• scenes of sexual violence
• strong horror
• strong blood and gore
• real sex (in some circumstances)
• discriminatory language and behaviour
