In today's lesson we watched some video openings from previous years and in other schools and we marked them and said what we liked about them and what we didn't like about them.
We went through the mark scheme.
Level 1 0-23 marks
Level 2 24-35 marks
Level 3 36-47 marks
Level 4 48-60 marks
Here are a couple of the videos:
This was the best video that we watched by far. The Edge showed to be an Action. Titles looked professional which meant they were used effectively in the video. All of the shots that were needed could be seen in the video and conventions in the video meant that the genre could be identified easily. Music was appropriate and fitted in with what was going on. The fast going pace and mysterious characters left a lot of questioning.
I gave this video a mark of 57 out of 60.
This was one of the videos which wasn't so good because it seemed to be boring. Roses Are Red showed to be a teen girl film. Also, the music was a bit corny and gradually got annoying as time went on. The scene of getting up and doing tasks such as make-up and getting dressed is common in film beginnings so there was nothing really that I hadn't seen before. Nothing exciting happened in the video but the titles used were put together with thought and came across cleverly. All of the shots were also quite well planned out and put together effectively.
I gave this video a mark of 36 out of 60.
