Remember the bit I talked about?:
"Music videos, somewhat alarmingly, were often missing performance. Whilst there are plenty of examples of performance-less music videos, the narrative-based music videos moderators saw were almost always more like short films, and often had little connection to the chosen track.
Also, candidates were often creating narrative-only music videos whilst choosing an artist or track completely unsuited to such an approach.
The accuracy of lip syncing was a big problem: at times it felt like an impossible skill that candidates once found possible; a technique lost to time. As one moderator put it, ‘It’s ironic that accurate lip sync has never been better served by technology and yet we’re seeing less of it’.
However, there was a wide variety of creative responses to the music video brief main task, including a wide selection of musical genres. It was good to see a few centres where candidates had worked with unsigned bands and produced videos for them; the best of these also used the performance of the actual band. This also overcomes the problems with some work, where some videos were blocked due to copyright issues."
