bbfc

Having looked at the bbfc guidelines, it is evident that the music video should be classified as a PG.

Discrimination - Discrimination is unlikely to be acceptable states the guideline. However, if it is discrete and unable for children to identify, it may be acceptable. Our music video doesn't show any sign of discrimination in any areas.

Drugs - Drugs misuse and illegal drugs must be innocuous. Once again, no drug references are carried out, this therefore makes it suitable to be a PG.

Horror - Sequences should not be prolonged. Once again, this is something which isn't included in our video.

Imitable Behaviour - No detail of potentially dangerous behaviour which can easily be influenced by young children. There is one scene where a weapon is seen, however, it is quickly hidden and so it cannot be influenced for children.

Language - Mild bad language is only acceptable, this isn't a problem for us as no bad language is used.

I understand that films and video games are classified by the bbfc; not music videos! However, for my benefit I thought it would be interesting to know for certain and it can relate to our target audience and whether I have chosen my target audience member appropriately. From reading the information above, it is clear that our music video would be classified as a PG if the bbfc were to certify it.
