It was ok but it was more an amalgamation of shots than anything else and it didn't really tell a story. It could have really done with an interview to lead it through and tell me what I was watching, or at least telling a story visually (ie bike's only being ridden at the end). Still not sure what they do or what it is though (builds? repairs? is it one bloke? a shop? etc).
Also scrap the long credits. Don't know if it was a requirement of the module but it just screams arrogance and/or student.
On the topic of production value and cost, this is an interesting one that students often get tied up in, but I'm assuming you're not including wages in the £600. I run a video production company and other than travel 90% of our films have no 'cost' at all. It's simply our time and skill that's charged for.
You'll soon realise upon graduating how fluffy and unrealistic a world student film making is. Taking 5 people to make that for example; we would shoot that with one person in half a day, simply because that's all that's required and that's all there'd be budget for anyway.
Out of curiosity, what did 5 people even do that day?!
Really nicely shot though, just needs more focus on the story

.The credits are a requirement, and that's not the version that was used by the company for its promotion.
I could have shot that with 2 people, i'm not disputing it.
Really im just curious how people percieve films when budgets are brought into it.

This looks interesting - might keep some of the costs down for the aerial shots. Shame about the limited top speed though, but perhaps good for short sequences https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sqdr/hexo-your-autonomous-aerial-camera

Terrible idea imo and will never be legal to use anyway.
