Ratings

I have looked at the certificates of some musical films to help me understand what types of content I should aim to use. Generally, musicals seem to have very clean content that can be watched by anyone. For instance; Hairspray (2007) and Grease are both rated PG, and High School Musical is rated U.

PG: Parental Guidence
The BFFC defines a 'PG' as follows: "General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for some children. Unaccompanied children of any age may watch. A 'PG' film should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. However, parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger or more sensitive children."

In a film rated PG there is a certain level of exceptance towards more adult features, including: more serious issues such as rasism or crime providing that these issues are not glorified in any way; a level of mild bad language may be used; nudity with no sexual context; the discrete inplication of sexual activity; moderate, undetailed violence.

Rohan and I think that we will try to keep our musical within the boundaries of the PG certificate specifications to help ensure that we create an accurate representation of a musical.
