Music stop and starts again in an odd place, but i like the way the mcfly music comes in as it sound like it is through a personal device
i like the general idea maybe you could of filmed out side of school
good variation on shot the match on action worked well when entering the bog

We thought that the soundtrack was good and suited the genre perfectly.
some use of good camera work although occasional shaky shots and blurryness.
Costumes were good for characters though.

Brad Chapman is a hottie!!

FINAL CUT POLLY BUTTON

Music

We chose this beat for polly button to capture our target audience, as it is young and popular.
It is cool sounding, and this is what polly button thinks she is.

The other music we created on garageband was the part going alongside the Brad Chapman clip. Brad Chapam is supposed to be cool and slick, so this music went perfectly with his attitude.

The McFly music is fun and upbeat. As she dances it makes her seem care free. It shows her true nature, as she is quite clumsy and slightly geeky.
