Marking
past videos
Niamh Barrett
I have been given a mark scheme and marked the following videos and
to what I think they deserve.
Here is the criteria for level 4:
message in a bottle
• I gave this a mark of 30
• There is a good range of shots which are steady and well framed
• There was good display of focus pulling
• The lip syncing was a little out
• It had a good link between the imagery and the song
• I thought there could have been I a little more happening to keep the audience interested. The
shot of the girl taking off her necklace was a bit long and could have been shortened
• good transition between band members
• Used crosscutting well between narrative and band
• A couple of shots were overexposed
• could have explained the story of the train tickets with more narrative
• It got 38 - I was a little harsh with 30, but this was the first one I marked so I was going on my own
opinion rather than the mark scheme and didn’t know what to expect.
the past six years
• I gave this a mark of 27
• The car window shot is very cliché. We got told to avoid this in our music videos.
The use of editing on this was effective with the flashes
• The lip syncing is way out and makes the video look unprofessional
• good use of filters but not outside - lack consistency
• A few of the shot were overexposed - could use a filter
• good framing of shots
• The narrative is not clear, don’t know why he’s burning the photo and what the
story behind it is
• Repetitive with the guitar and picture
• could have sped up the photo when it was burning because it was too long, but
great use of editing when rewound.
• understanding of genre
• It got 28 marks

• lip syncing was mostly in time except from the end
• There is a good use of editing displayed, for example, the inclusion of
cloning and superimposition
• There are a couple of dark shots which are a bit pixelated
• I like the silhouette part and it fits with the songs genre
• There’s good framing of shots
• She has thought about the usage of different locations
• It was repetitive with the dancing
• Generally steady shot
• It got 32 marks
