How bad was this landing?

I did a bad landing on Sunday, where the nosewheel touched down earlier than planned. I am not proud of it, but I can't really gauge how big my error was. So try to score it on a scale of 1 to 5, where

1 = "It was okay, no worries, just try to avoid it in the future."
.
.
.
5 = "Good Heavens, it was horrible you fool, you are damned lucky to have your nosewheel and prop and engine intact after this."

Background info from the video description:
"This was my first landing at LHKV, and it takes special coordination and holding before entering its airspace due to the parachute activities over the weekends. I already felt that the aircraft settled onto the runway earlier than I expected during the flare (maybe due to the variable winds or misjudging the height above the narrow landing strip). The recording showed that the nose gear touched down slightly earlier than the main landing gears, which is a certain pilot error."
