Initial Feedback.
- 1. Initially we edited our music video and uploaded it onto youtube.com in order to gather feedback on how our video was viewed. We had our teachers feedback to us their views on our video- presented below. We then re-evaluated our video, filmed more and re-edited our video in order to comply with the feedback and to make our video more pleasing.

You will gain marks is you can edit in time to pace of the video. Using sound with images and You animal motif is original and editing appropriately for the quirky and the symbolism works task set well, however this quirky edge of your video is not reflected in any other dimension such as quirky shot or the pace of the song, all these elements need to gel together so that you have created a music video rather than a short film with a backing track.
