Final Feedback from Simon Bates

Simon marked our videos out of 5 in 8 different areas, those areas were:

Live footage of The Fiver, What the requirements are for getting in, What you get if your band is accepted, How to apply, It must look contemporary, Fast, Appealing to the 14 – 17 age group and Supply all the relevant information.

Simon marked my group like this: 

Live footage of The Fiver Great initial scene setting and pace, really exciting 5
What the requirements are for getting in Covers this 3
What you get if your band is accepted Really clear incentives, like the questioning approach 4
How to apply very clear 4
It must look contemporary Very engaging look 4
Fast Great editing and speed 4
Appealing to the 14 – 17 age group slightly more appealing to young age group but still dominated by older bands 3
Supply all the relevant information Better approach to information 4
General comments This is a great promo vid and you have evidently listened to the feedback you were given at B Uni.  You have directed a technically and creatively sound piece of work that is slightly pipped by moving away from the brief.  Great work nonetheless. 31



I thought most of these were fair points and all justified, although i though 3 was quite harsh for 'Appealing to the 14 – 17 age group'. we did everything we could to try and make it interesting to younger kids, we put the youngest band, Boiling Point in as often as we could and said specifically are you aged between 13 and 18, there was little more we could have done.

I also don't understand why Group 1s video got 5 for how modern it looks and we only got 4 because both videos are made with the same footage, neither with any effects and ours was cut faster, too the beat more and was generally snappier. but at the end of the day it was made to a brief, and we didn't meet said brief as well as group 1.
