Scenes (in trailer)

5

Scenes are chosen appropriately. They are short and filled with text or action, or other relevant moments from the story line. Symbol and essence is clear. Scenes include all members from group.
4

Scenes are chosen appropriately for the most part, with movie's essence basically captured. A few scenes might not be relevant to capturing the essence of the novel, or symbol may be questionable.
3

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 movie's essence.
2

I do not see a clear connection at all to your movie trailer scenes and the essence of what the director was trying to say.

Sound (must have music)

2

Did you time this at all?
Storyboard/Planning (storyboard paper)

5

Storyboard illustrates the video presentation structure with sketches of each scene. Proposed dialogue and shots are included. All sketches are in a logical order and match the finished project exclusively.
4

Storyboard illustrates the video presentation with some sketches of each scene. Some proposed dialogue or shots are included. Some of the sketches are in order and match the finished project.

Storyboard lacks the video presentation and includes little to no sketches of scenes. None of the scenes are in logical order and follow the finished project. No dialogue or shots included.
2

No storyboard or planning were shown to me.
Group Dynamics/Planning

5

You seemed to work well together. Your movie looks like you all contributed effectively. knew your roles, and planned it out. Everyone had a share.
4

Overall it looks like your group worked together on this, but some evidence that you had a breakdown in group dynamics exists. Did someone get left out?
3

Your film did not seem to have a sense of teamwork. Either one person did too much or maybe one or two people didn't pull their share. It didn't seem to come together well.
2

This looks like it was one person's project or even too few in the group knew what was going on. It was a mess.
