Music Video Feedback

When the rest of our class were showed our final Music Video, this is the feedback we recieved:

The genre of this music was "Woman Rock" or Rock, and our video suited the conventions of the genre well.
The target audience could possibly be 18/19 year olds, but probably has no specific audience.
The camera work was good, we had a good variety of camera angles.
A member of the class particularly liked the green ribbon being "shot in front of the sun" (the light.)
Another member of the class liked the shot of Flossy running through the field, and thought it worked well within the music.
The shot of Charlie playing the drums and Flossy&Sophie from the side was also mentioned as a good shot.
Some members of the class also mentioned the opening scene, and said they liked how the light, followed by the traffic in the dark, then the ribbon, then Sian miming worked really well and looked fluent.
They thought the editing was good, and the mise on scene worked really well; the field worked within the music, and it gave us plenty of space, and the video was well spread out instead of a band just crammed in a small space.
Most of the class really liked the ribbons and thought they went well, especially as they were used throughout the music video instead of just for a bit of it. However one member of the class did not understand the ribbons and thought it was a bit too irrelevant.
The lip syncing was really good throughout.
An influence of our video was the ribbon used in the live performance of the song by the lead singer of the band, no similarities of other bands/songs/videos were picked up on.
The music video was said to have a "chilling" effect on the audience.

A couple of bits of negative feedback were that the shot of the traffic could have been used more throughout the video, and that there were a couple of subtle mistakes within the shot. E.G. Sophie chewing and nodding through one of her shots, and me talking through one of mine. However one member of the class said that this talking and nodding gave off a sense of us having fun in the field instead of just performing.
