Marking Student Videos

In todays lesson we went through some previous videos of past students and marked them using the mark criteria.
  


We watched this video as a class and altogether came to the decision that we would give this music video a level 4. This is because the students use a very wide variety of different shots and frame sizes. The colouring of the video is all very similar which creates a mood for the music video. Although this video would score a level 4 it would not get full marks as the narrative gets confusing as there is a lot of things going on during the video. Also some of the scenes do not fit the genre of the song.

The second video that we watched together as a class was:



As a class we came to an agreement that this video matched the criteria of a high level 2 or low level 3. This is because the video shows more than a basic level of ability however it does not demonstrate proficiency therefore would receive a low level 3 from our point of view. This is because most of the shots are too long for the pace of the song and could have used a bigger variety of shots.



This next video I have watched by myself to mark using the marking criteria. Personally I would give this video a level 2. This is because it shows very good editing skills however the video idea is not very creative and there is a very basic level of shots and framing used. Also the lip syncing is off in some clips. To improve this mark I think the group could have used more than one location to make the video more interesting.



This is the next video I watched and to mark against the marking criteria. I thought this music video deserved a mid level 4. This is because the narrative of the music video is very clear and also has very good lip-syncing. This is also a very good music video because they have used a wide variety of different shots and framing. However I would not give this group a high level 4 as they have not showed many editing skills.



This is the third video I watched and marked against the marking criteria. I would give this video a level 3 as they have demonstrated proficiency. The video has good colouring and has a good variety of shots. However I think the video is quite cliché and could have done something more interesting with the song.
