Age Ratings

In my research if Music DVDs and album covers, I found one of the codes/conventions of the Cover Art to be an age rating, depending on the content of the video. Because of this, and the sort of content we will be including in our video, it is important that we look into age ratings and what warrants a specific rating, as it will help our DVD cover seem more realistic.

We used the BBFC Classification Guidelines so we could understand more about classifications, and what sort of age rating we would have to give our music video and why. We found a PDF document containing all we needed to know about age ratings, found on the British Board of Film Classifications' website.

Due to it's suggestive content and nudity, we would have to give it either a Parental Guidance or 12 certificate, and therefore an appropriate symbol will be included on our finished DVD cover and Magazine Advert.
