Bedtime stories is a PG, the opening sequence gives off a main impression of what the film is about. It does this by using key item, in this case it is a book. For example, the beginning of back to the future shows many clocks, this shows the whole idea of time. The book in this opening sequence shows the idea of stories. The theme to the film is fantasy and magic, this is also included in the opening scene because there is a soundtrack which is easy for children to relate to, the many different bright colors and the pop up book is exciting for children. Also, the font used for the credits is swirly and bright, this also relates to children. There is also a narrator explaining the book, this helps people understand.
Despite all this, the reason Bedtime Stories is a PG rather than a U is because kids may find it hard to understand as it is to with an adult loosing his job and some scenes could be quite scary.
We will consider this when making out own film to make sure we aim it at the right audience and keep it suitable to them.
