Across the world, films are certified so that they are suitable for their audience. For example, a violent horror film is not appropriate for a small child, thus gaining a higher certificate, such as certificate 18. The British Board of Film Classification regulate the certificates for films shown in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1912, the board aim to make the films age appropriate, whilst still allowing the target audience to span a wide range of people.
Some production companies have been known to alter or cut scenes so that their film can be awarded a lower certificate. One example of this is the film 'Mean Girls' in which a sex scene was scrapped, as it alone would have increased the certificate from 12A to 15.
