TEAMS AND SCORE 1. Sweet AssassinsJudge #1 = 7/10, 10/20, 8/15
Judge #2 = 7/10, 18/10, 14/15
Judge #3 = 9/10, 19/20, 14/15
TOTAL = 106 / 135COMMENTS
Judge #1 = N/A
Judge #2 =
Overall a good MV, some clips were a bit too long, but good storyline.
Judge #3 =
Quality = good transitions, fairly clean
Storyline = really easy to follow, only major scene introduction/weird was when Ling'er's character was introduced, that was a little off
Music = Well matches the idea of the story
2. TMJudge #1 = 8/10, 17/20, 10/15
Judge #2 = 8/10, 15/20, 11/15
Judge #3 = 8/10, 15/20, 11/15
TOTAL = 103 / 135COMMENTS
Judge #1 = N/A
Judge #2 =
This had ok transitions and cuts, but the clips did not go right with the music. Did not flow much and storyline was unclear. But overall, it's a decent MV.
Judge #3 =
Quality = transitions were more original than just fade, but were not real clean cut idea differences in MV
Storyline = I still do not know quite exactly what the story was trying to say, I could see Xiao Yao being sad, and then
following his memories of lost love, but the choice of scene order did not really make sense. Jumping from Ling'Er opening to ending
abruptly with Yue Rue, a little weird for me.
Music = I found it odd to hear ROCH's theme song to Xian Jian, but that's a personal opinion. Overall, the music sort of matched the
beginning clips, but in the rest of the video, I couldn't tell why/how the music matched up to the choice of scenes. and again,
I don't know if this is a problem with the sources provided, but the scenes really needed to be muted in creating the MV so you can
see the pictures and hear the music, but not hear both the talking of the characters and the music at the same time
3. Kitty Barigade Judge #1 = 8/10, 18/20, 8/15
Judge #2 = 8/10, 17/20, 11/15
Judge #3 = 9/10, 18/20, 13/15
TOTAL = 110 / 135COMMENTS
Judge #1 = N/A
Judge #2 =
Relatively good in quality, but could use some work. You had a good storyline, but some clips were a little bit too long, that would lose the viewers interest.
But good clips for the right moment in music.
Judge #3 =
Quality = transitions were relatively well done, some minor choppy transitions, but that's it
Storyline = I'm not sure I understood it completely, but forlorn love and the downside of freedom seemed to be a wellplayed central theme.
It was a little hard to understand in certain places, but overall, it was sort of clear in the pain and sad clips shown that were well placed within the choices for the happier clips
Music = Music was well chosen for the overall idea of the MV, some scenes didn't quite match up with the singing at times
4. Angelic AssassinsJudge #1 = 8/10, 9/20, 6/15
Judge #2 = 7/10, 16/20, 12/15
Judge #3 = 9/10, 19/20, 14/15
TOTAL = 100 / 135COMMENTS
Judge #1 = N/A
Judge #2 =
Overall, it is a good MV. Some glitches in the transition so next time just kinda watch out for that. You had a good storyline but it was really had to make out
so try to manipulate better clips next time, but you were restricted so it's understandable that you did not have that many choices of clips.
Judge #3 =
Quality = transitions were smooth, some minor issues only
Storyline = At first the story was unclear, but if you listened to the song and towards the end, the MV became much more unified,
and the story became clearer and much more directed
Music = At first I thought the song was a weird choice, but it really worked out nicely overall, especially towards the latter half and
end of the video.
5. Time to CrunchJudge #1 = 8/10, 13/20, 13/15
Judge #2 = 8/10, 17/20, 15/15
Judge #3 = 8/10, 17/20, 12/15
TOTAL = 111 / 135COMMENTS
Judge #1 = N/A
Judge #2 =
Ok I have to say I love the song you chose, but what was better was that you had the right clips at the right moment in the music so very good there. This is where
the MV would pull the viewers in. Transitions and cuts can use a lil work on, and storyline was a bit unclear but OVER ALL very good.
Judge #3 =
Quality = choppy transitions/film quality, but might be because of youtube, don't really know
Storyline = fairly understandable, but there were some oddly placed scenes such as the sudden intro of Ling'er, but nothing major
Music = sometimes the clips included really needed to be muted, such as the last one, when the music just is sort of weird background
noise, and doesn't really completely match with the pictures
