Feedback from Simon Bates

Here is some of the feedback we were given by Simon Bates about our rough cut:

Specifications:

Live footage of the Fiver Night.

What the requirements are for being able to perform.

What happens if/when your band is accepted.

How to apply.

It would be good if the video looks contemporary.

Additionally it must have all of the relevant information about the Fiver.

It is to appeal to the fiver audience (fourteen to seventeen years of age).

Feedback:

1. The video is well edited and the imagery is exciting.

2. More live footage of the Fiver will be needed to get people interested.

3. It doesn't represent the specifications clearly enough. You need to show that bands must first have experience to perform.

4. The introduction looks more as if it is an advert for working as a technician. It doesn't depict what the fiver is about and makes the Fiver seem more like a process rather than a great learning experience.

5. Provides a suitable amount of informations, if a little clunky.

6. Your video uses references to adverts and films well. It has a contemporary feel.

7. Your video is appropriate for the target audience and appeals to the right age group.

8. I like the way the video builds up. The speed increasing is really good, maybe you could accentuate this and make it a larger part of the video.
