"The British Board of Film Classification is to pilot voluntary ratings for online music videos, as the exemption threshold for music DVDs is narrowed
The threshold at which physically released music videos – primarily DVDs and Blu-rays – must receive an age classification from the BBFC is to be lowered. The organisation is also planning to launch a voluntary pilot for online music videos, in partnership with record label trade body the BPI, a spokesperson confirmed to the CMU Daily.
This follows a review of the Video Recordings Act by the UK government, which was completed last year. Until now, only physically released music videos containing “extreme” content have required an age rating. Under the pending changes to the Act, expected to be implemented in the spring, anything that fits the criteria for a twelve certificate or above will have to be classified by BBFC examiners. Previously these would have been stamped ‘exempt’, or simply not put forward for review at all." Quote BBFC website
The government are now making stricter regulations on music videos in the UK in a attempt to make music videos less sexualised and show less explicit content so that the younger generations are not influenced as much by the music videos.
I personally do not think that because of the new regulations, that young people are not going to see these music videos because of the internet. You can't monitor what everyone watches on the internet and young people will be able to find this sort of content online quiet easily. But it is a good idea most people watch music videos on television, so making videos shown before the watershed less explicit will mean less young people will be influenced by the music videos.

Hypocrisy album cover analysis
The Metal universe is a diverse one, filled with lots of sub-genres based of another genre the album covers in Metal tend to represent what the band is singing about in there songs.
Hypocrisy are a great example the lyrical themes don't fit the Death/Black metal stereotype the lyrics are about the unknown and Alien conspiracy's, a great example would be Roswell 47 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwIqTDWmV8A) by them.

Music Video Pitch
Dear sir/madam:
I am writing to you on behalf of AA Music Video Production,
we have heard the song “battle cry” from Imagine Dragons and we would like the
honour of producing the music video for the song.
Due to new music video regulations being introduced we will
not be able to be as adventurous in the creation of the video and have very
little explicit content in it.
We have played around with a few ideas, I will be able to
show/tell you them within our future meeting. We will be able to create a high
quality music video for the song with a low budget; this will be good on your
behalf.
The music video will follow genre characteristics, the video
will be filmed indoors at a undecided location, the video will contain a strong
narrative theme throughout the video but it will contain images of the band
playing through the song.
We will be recording in two months’ time from now and it
should take roughly three weeks to finish off the recording, then an estimated
two weeks of editing the music video to give it the justice it deserves.
In the past we have created music
videos; our latest project was the music video “Hey Ya” by Outkast this
achieved views of over 23,000,000 views on YouTube.
This music video was produced in 3
weeks including editing and production, so imagine what sort of content we will
be able to produce for you in five weeks?
This project will be our most ambitious to date, we would
really appreciate the opportunity to produce this music video.
Yours sincerely
Aaron Baskerville
