Knowing the criteria - Video 1

During today's lesson, the task involved reading the mark criteria and applying that to real A2 music videos. Below I will show you the videos shown to us, the mark I gave it and why, and then the actual mark given.

I gave this video a score of 35 out of 40 for a number of reasons:

- I thought it had a variety of shot types and sizes and you could tell that they had payed attention to framing.
- I thought they had a variety of shots sizes such as the close ups of the instruments which meant they had to pay close to detail to the mise en-scene.
- There was a good use of editing and a lot of cuts and effects to make the video look better.
- The reason i didnt give any higher was due to the shakiness of some shots and the fact that some shots looked out of place and dragged a little.
- Overall though i thought it was a very successful piece of work.


The piece actually scored 38 which i thought was very generous but after closer loom you can see why it scores that highly and the reasons as to why it doesn't reach top marks.
