  Box Office Gold

Dust off a spot on your mantle. Your Oscar is a done deal.

10 pts

Big Opening Weekend

Lots of special effects and pretty people, but substance was missing.

7 pts

Indy Buzz

Some praise here and there, but not many people saw it.

5 pts

Rotten Tomato

Too many shifts at the restaurant made you tired. Back to acting class for you.

2 pts

Cinematography

Box Office Gold

Shot composition is carefully crafted to the mood and purpose of each scene. Clever and creative shots and angles are used throughout the film. Visually interesting and memorable.
Big Opening Weekend

Shot composition is sometimes crafted to the mood and purpose of each scene. Clever and creative shots and angles are used for the majority of the film. Visually interesting and memorable for most of the film.
Indy Buzz

Some clever and creative shots and angles are used, but more attention was paid to WHAT was shot than HOW it was shot.
Rotten Tomato

Little, if any, attention paid to shot composition. Shots and angles are boring. Viewers don't want to continue watching this film.
Lighting

Box Office Gold

Lighting is always suitable to the mood of the scene, and technically well done.
Big Opening Weekend

Lighting is frequently suitable to the mood of the scene, and the majority of it is technically well done.
Indy Buzz

Not much attention was paid to lighting, but the viewer can still see most of the action.
Rotten Tomato

Footage is too dark to be seen or overexposed for the majority of the film.
Audio

Think about if I can understand you, if I hear the wind or the cars more than you. Consider if you need to add your lines back in during post production and not just yell in the scene.
Box Office Gold

Dialogue sounds clear and crisp. Music and sound effects suit the cinematography, character, and mood.
Big Opening Weekend

The majority of dialogue sounds clear and crisp, with few audio problems. Music and sound effects suit the cinematography, character, and mood for the majority of the film.
Indy Buzz

Dialogue is overpowered by background noise or audio buzz. Music and sound effects are in the film because the team liked them, as opposed to helping tell the story.
Rotten Tomato

Dialogue is difficult to understand for the majority of the film. Little to no use of music or sound effects. Audio was not a priority in this film.
Costumes/Props

Box Office Gold

All costumes and props are suitable to character, time, and place. No "magical mystical costume changes" between scenes. All props look real.
Big Opening Weekend

Most costumes and props are suitable to character, time, and place. One "magical mystical costume change" between scenes. Most props look real.
Indy Buzz

Little attention was paid to planning costumes and props, but the end result isn't too bad. Two "magical mystical costume changes" between scenes. Some props are inappropriate, or look obviously fake.
Rotten Tomato

People showed up in clothes. That's it. Three or more "magical mystical costume changes" between scenes. Props are missing or poorly chosen.

Plot/Dramatic Structure

Box Office Gold

Plot has clear beginning, middle, and end. Dramatic structure builds to climax, then ends with falling action.
Big Opening Weekend

Plot has mostly clear beginning, middle, and end. Dramatic structure is generally followed, but wanders in places. Climax of story is clear.
Indy Buzz

Plot is difficult to follow, and lacks either a clear beginning, middle, or end. Dramatic structure is only somewhat followed, and actions seem random.
Rotten Tomato

What plot? This is a collection of random actions with nothing tying them together.
Storyboard and Scripting

Box Office Gold

You have a developed script that you have blocked out in a story board.

you have an underdeveloped bare bones storyboard and vague script.

You are missing either your script or your storyboard.

Neither exist/ the are lost to the ether.

Indy Buzz

Has many gaffs, poor line reads, and obvious errors.
Rotten Tomato

Everything is just a first take.

No effort put in in class, class time wasted
