Scenes & Essence

Exemplary

Scenes are chosen appropriately. They are short and filled with text or action, or other relevant moments from the novel. Symbol and essence is clear.
Proficient

Scenes are chosen appropriately for the most part, with novel's essence basically captured. A few scenes might not be relevant to capturing the essence of the novel, or symbol may be questionable.
Minimal

Scenes chosen do not add to trailer and are weak. Symbol scene is off or missing. Many clips are lengthy or leave me wondering what they have to do with the novel's essence.
Lacking

I do not see a clear connection at all to your movie trailer scenes and the essence of what the author was trying to say.
Titles & Text (must have some)

Exemplary

Titles and text add something special to the trailer, and do not detract from overall trailer. Diction was crisp, clever,and appropriate with clear links to the novel. Names are included.
Proficient

Titles and text lack n a few places, but overall, they do not greatly detract from the trailer.<BR>
Diction of text was fair but could use more sophistication. Names?
Minimal

Titles and text detract from trailer, as they add little to nothing to the overall trailer. They may be too long or poorly written and lack a clear connection to the novel. Names? One error.
Lacking

Little Text. Poorly composed or filled with errors!
Sound (must have music)

Exemplary

Musical background was great with clear match to novel's essence. Sound created suspense, was not overpowering. Voices could be heard.
Proficient

Voices and music were basically a good match to the novel. Some sounds may have been hard to hear or overpowering.
Minimal

Music did not fit or sound and voices were impossible to hear.
Lacking

No music or impossible sound quality.
Time (60-90 seconds)

Exemplary

Length of trailer meets minimum requirement. (1:00 1:45)
Proficient

Length of trailer does not meet minimum/maximum requirement, but is in the ballpark. (no less than 55 seconds, no more than 1:50)
Minimal

Length of trailer does not meet minimum requirement by a significant margin. (More or less than 10 seconds.)
Lacking

Did you time this at all?
Flow and Timing

Exemplary

Trailer flows smoothly and captivates the attention of the viewer with well-timed transitions, events, and images is a logical order.
Proficient

Trailer flows fairly smoothly with reasonably timed transitions, events, and images in a somewhat logical order.
Minimal

Trailer transitions have a minimal amount of smoothness. Trailer order does not provide the viewer with clarity.
Lacking

Transitions are unpleasant or distracting. Trailer order is confusing.
