LO2 Report- Legal and ethical issues associated with my product

Due to VOD content increasing in popularity and music television programmes having decreased in viewership, we have no need to censor content for a tv programme like MTV as Youtube allows the use of offensive words in music videos. However our music will still be regulated by the BBFC so our content can be viewed via tv programmes like MTV or on radio stations. Even still we may need to censor some offensive language to ensure we do not offend different groups, This may cause us to create both an uncensored and censored version of the song that we can upload to ensure a wider audience can also listen to the song. Ellis's song may also be used to represent our college so we should definitely make sure any offensive words that can effect how people see us are not used to ensure that we offend the least amount of people and bring the reputation of the college up. The contents of the song do reference illegal activities and things that may be censored by the BBFC, so to prevent this the music video must not reference these activities so much as that the BBFC would censor this content. 

Overall we must make sure that the content used is safe for radio and tv as that would offer us the most mainstream attention. Plus, uploading both a censored and uncensored version of the product would broaden our target audience and market the song to a younger audience, similar to kidzpop which is the American brand that remakes songs in order to appeal to kids.
