British Board of Film Classification (BBFC)http://www.bbfc.co.uk/
The BBFC enforce strict laws to ensure that film are rated according to their content.
These are the areas the film examiners have to assess
"We look at issues such as discrimination, drugs, horror, dangerous and easily imitable behaviour, language, nudity, sex, and violence when making decisions."
This is a quotation from their website. It shows what they have to asses before rating the film. These rules are applied to films in producing DVD's, Blue-Ray player, and in cinemas This is to ensure the safety of younger viewers in watching something offensive.
Sci-fi Films Classification Certificates:
The Avengers ----------- 12A
The Hunger Games -----PG
Battleship -------------- 12A
Prometheus ------------ 15
Iron Sky 2012 ---------- 15
Dredd ------------------ 18
Looper -----------------15
These are examples of highly successful films which have been targeted for different audiences. The producers/cinematographers have to take into account the assessment of the examiners from certain companies such as BBFC. From this research it shows that on average a 15 age rating is enforced. This could imply that they are aimed for a more adult audience. Meaning that they would be good films to watch and take inspiration from, as they link to the briefs target audience.
