A film exempt from classification requirements as defined by section 5B of the Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) Act 1995.

Superheros generally rate M or MA. This isn't because superhero stories aren't violent or particularly sexual, but is just so the film produces can garner the biggest audience.

However, in recent years R rated superhero movies are having a comeback. Namely Dredd and Deadpool. Dredd was't that successful, but it did reach the expected profits the produces expected.

-Deadpool was Massive hit.

controls and constraints in film production

# data[].attributes.body
All forms of cinema and film are bound by controls and constraints,
these elements that play a part in influencing and directing the final cut of a film

They come in a variety of forms and have varying effects. It should be mentioned that these C&C differ greatly between those of commercial and independent films, and that each often possess the opposite ends of the spectrum

Controls and Constraints
The impact of controls and constraints that influence media production and shape media works must be recognised and the implications considered. There is a wide range of controls and constraints:

Ethical issues and legal implications control and constrain media. Debating the influence and impact of regulatory bodies and pressure groups, forms of censorship and classification, and the consequences of deregulation of the media provides a basis for developing codes of conduct for student productions.
Technologies    and    factors    related    to    production    such    as    budget,    time,    resources    and    audience expectations control and constrain production styles and audience reach.

Economic structures and practices also are factors that control and constrain media. It is important to consider the impact of ethos and objectives, sources of revenue and target audiences on the styles of production for commercial and non-commercial media. A focus on the Australian media and the effect of competition with international media highlights the impact of economic structures and practices on the media.

Ownership, power and politics are all factors that control and constrain media. Understanding contraints imposed by power relationships in student media productions extends to understanding hierarchical power structures within media organisations; the political influence made possible by concentrated media ownership in Australia; government influence; and regulations on foreign and cross-media ownership.

Mass media holds much more than just news, although it is sometimes misunderstood in this way. It can be used for various purposes: arguing for both business and social concerns. This can include advertising, marketing, propaganda, public relations, and political communication.

Different types of media
1. Inform People
the most fundamental objective of mass communication is to provide information to mass people. Information of mass communication may be related to education, weather, sport, products and services, public holidays, festivals, recreation and entertainment.

2. build public opinion
Another important objective of mass communication is to crate public opinion on any national or international issue.

Mass media attempts to create public opinion through providing their audiences with a realistic pictures of the world, activities of the leader, governmental policies etc. Mass media also tries to build public opinion though special articles, editorials, and commentaries.

3. persuade
Mass communication aims at persuading people to bring a change in their beliefs, opinion, attitudes, and thinking on a number of issues like smoking, voting, religious convictions, donation, dowry culture etc.

Moreover, business enterprises design various advertisements to persuade potential customers.

4.  Circulate Government Policies
Another objective of mass communication is to announce and circulate government programs and policies. Mass media can bring such policies to the public notice very quickly.

5. Disseminate Health and Education Programs
Government takes various health  and educational programmers like vaccinations, sanitation, birth control, open education etc.

These health and education programs are disseminated and implemented through mas media like radio, television, films, newspaper etc.

6. Provide Pleasure and Entertainment
The mass media are the wonderful sources of pleasure and amusement. Almost all mass media have an entertainment component. Television and radio arrange various programs for pleasure and amusement of mass people.

Newspapers and magazines publish articles on literary and culture events, sports, story etc, that also provide entertainment to the reader.

7. Establish Social Contact and Linkage
Mass communication also tries to establish and maintain social content and linkage among various races, tribes, or communities. Mass media creates content and linkage by giving messages of shared knowledge and experience.

For example,

A campaign to raise funds for the treatment of certain diseases or for performing certain social activities promotes social bondage and sympathy.

8. Help in Facing Disaster And Calamity
Mass communication also aims at creating public awareness to face natural and men made disasters like flood, earthquake, war, riot etc. with due courage and energy.

Through mass media, necessary instructions, strategies, & programs are circulated so that people can take proactive preparation.

9. Highlight Diplomatic Role:
In this uni-global world, every country wants to highlight its diplomatic role in global peacekeeping and development activities. Such diplomatic role can conveniently be disseminated and highlighted through mass media.

10. Promote Political Ideologies
Political parties rely on mass media to promote their ideologies, plans, programs, and manifestos. With the help mass media, they try to create public opinion in their favour.

From the above discussion, we can conclude that mass communication has diversified objectives.

Different messages have different aims. However, mass communication is mainly dedicated to ensure well-being of all classes of people in the society.
