At the start of the year we looked back at the previous years students work and evaluated them to help us try and understand what makes a bad music video, and more importantly, what makes a good music video.

This video was the worst video of the year and it was really something that we would not like to replicate. It was filmed at College behind the back of the gym and it was half black and white and half not, it looked like they'd spent a very short amount of time on it. The only positive that I can pick out of it is the fact that it fits the fashion theme that they were aiming for. They also tried to do lots of shots, but they weren't shot with good quality and they were too long. The acting was shameless, but it was inept and the lipsynching was embarrassingly out of time and in some cases it was seconds late. It looked like it was filmed in one afternoon and like it was really badly planned, that's something we've done meticulously so we shouldn't have that problem.
Predicted mark: 15/40
Achieved mark: 15/40
The Pippette's - I Like Boys In Uniform - Click here to see the video
This is a very good music video, which achieved a very high grade and fit all of the conventions of a good music video. It also fit with their song very well which is why is why it received such a good grade. It is also acted extremely well and even though it's not graded on strength of actors, the confidence of their performers really shone through and made their video so good. The lipsynching is something which is marked and that was flawless in this particular video, which is something we'd like to replicate. The video also has a very well thought through narrative that fits with the song that they've chosen excellently. It also has a wide range of shot types which is something which is in the mark scheme, the shot's are all well framed and shot very well which is another reason why this particular video was so good.
Predicted mark: 37/40
Achieved mark: 40/40
