feedback from simon bates on our finished promo videos

simon bates didn't come in himself but he did email us feedback after watching our finished videos on vimeo. there were key areas that needed to be included and he gave each group a mark out of 5 for each area. this is what my group got ( me alex and hayden). we didn't score low on any areas, 3/5 being the lowest, but he wasn't overly satisfied with the video as a whole. he was expecting something a lot more hard hitting and dramatic i think. he did think that some areas were shown better than the other groups though. simon's issue with our video was it didn't hold together as well as the others, and that he really liked our pitch, more so than the final video.

Live footage: 3/5

Made good use of the lighting and active shots. Great build up but did not follow the way that the scene had been set.

Requirements for getting in: 3/5

Covers this point.

What you get if your band is accepted: 5/5

Covered this point really well and effectively.

How to apply: 5/5

Well illustrated

It must be contemporary: 4/5

Like the lifestyle 'live your dream'. Good effects.

Fast: 3/5

Fast section gains interest but overall video is slightly short.

Appeals to the 14-17 age range: 3/5

Would appeal to the upper part of this age group but not earlier part.

Supply all relevant information: 4/5

Yes.



General comments:

Many good ideas went into this and many of them seem to be on the cutting room floor. It's a great video but suffers slightly on contemporary feel and how many of the original ideas were left behind. it does demonstrate good use of editing though and highlights key areas well such as how to apply and requirements which are crucual areas.
