Age Ratings for Music Videos

What is the problem?
The problem is that the people who make and release the music videos feel that their are certain aspects to their video that young people under a certain age should not view. This is because a lot of the things showed are explicit or there is a lot of sex related actions made in music videos. It is also a problem as these videos are too easily accessed by young people as there are no restrictions on music videos.







What is the proposed solution?
The proposed solution will be that there will be age restrictions on music videos to stop young people from seeing the sort of explicit things in music videos. This will also be done in order to enable the parents to restrict their children from watching these sorts of music videos. They also want to make two versions to music videos which have features which young people should not see so that they can see a more sensible version to the music video.


Why has this solution been proposed?
This solution has been proposed so that the parents of the children can stop their children from viewing features of videos which they should not be viewing.


What are the advantages of this solution?
An advantage to this is that it will enable the children to stop viewing explicit music videos which they should not be viewing. Another advantage to this is that the parents are able to control what their child or children will be able and will not be able to watch. Another advantage to making two types of videos would be that the person still would be able to watch the music video but it will be a non explicit type.


What are the disadvantages of this solution?
A disadvantage to this solution would mean that the target audience of the artist might get cut as not everyone would be able to view the video, therefore the artist will feel they might not be able to give across the feeling that they are interacting with the audience. The video will also not be viewable to a lot of people as a lot of music videos are viewed by young people, therefore this might frustrate the artists and it may also annoy young people as they may want to view the explicit version of the music video.


What are the limitations of this solution?
A limitation is that they might not be sure what is suitable for what specific age to be able to watch, therefore they might have problems in deciding.


Do you think it will make a difference?
I think it will make a difference as it will ensure that someone who is under aged will not be watching the videos that they should not be watching.


Which videos do you think will receive a 15 or 18 rating?
I think videos which will receive a rating will be the ones with women that are not wearing a lot of clothes or are doing any inappropriate dancing or acting.
