1. Initially we edited our music video and uploaded it onto youtube.com in
order to gather feedback on how our video was viewed. We had our
teachers feedback to us their views on our video- presented below. We
then re-evaluated our video, filmed more and re-edited our video in
order to comply with the feedback and to make our video more pleasing.
Construction Marking Criteria Comments
Holding a shot ready where Shots are steady in the majority of
appropriate the video
Framing a shot Shots are framed well most of the
time
Using a variety of shot Variety of shots have been used
distances
Shooting material appropriate Material selected is relevant
to task set although you still follow a linear
narrative apart from one
flashback.
Selecting mise-en-scene Motif is well established although
including colour, figure, the breaking of the glass outside
lighting, objects and setting although filmed effectively, seems
odd in the sequence of the video,
perhaps it would be more effective
if this shot is repeated at different
paces to reflect how her anger and
frustration rises.
Editing so that meaning is The narrative is establish clearly in
apparent to viewer some parts of the video, however
this kiss scene 1. is not
appropriate for the video, it is not
subtly alluding and I think will out
rightly offend the examiner, this

2. scene should have been far more
artistic and alluded to rather than
in your face, this needs to be
addressed. 2. the flashback editing
pace needs to fit with the timing
and pace of the song.
The last shot of the video is
unclear, having shown this to a
few other members of staff they
did not understand what was
supposed to have happened at the
end, this also needs to be
addressed to ensure you score
well in this section
Using varied shot transitions Shot transitions are effective and
and other effects selectively appropriately selected however,
and appropriately they are still a little sow in some
parts and do not fluidly fit with the
upbeat tempo of the song. You will
gain marks is you can edit in time
to pace of the video.
Using sound with images and You animal motif is original and
editing appropriately for the quirky and the symbolism works
task set well, however this quirky edge of
your video is not reflected in any
other dimension such as quirky
shot or the pace of the song, all
these elements need to gel
together so that you have created
a music video rather than a short
film with a backing track.
Using titles appropriately These must be used at the
beginning introducing the band
and the name of the track, think
carefully about your choice of font.
