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

10 pts

Big Opening Weekend

Lots of special effects and great acting, but substance was missing.

7 pts

Indy Buzz

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

5 pts

Rotten Tomato

Back to the drawing board. This just is not up to Final Film expectations.

Rotten Tomato

Did not turn in script at all or what was turned in barely qualifies as a script.
Director Notes
Storyline/Dramatic Structure

Written work

Box Office Gold

Written work has clear beginning, middle, and end. What happens next is logical for what is known about the characters. All characters are thoroughly defined. There is a clear and expansive connection between the story and what happens to each of the characters.
Big Opening Weekend

Written work has a mostly clear beginning, middle, and end. What happens next is somewhat logical for what is known about the characters. Story structure is generally followed, but wanders in places. There is a clear but somewhat limited connection between the original story and main characters.
Indy Buzz

Written work is difficult to follow, and lacks a clear structure. What happens next seems random in light of what is known about the characters. There is a clear but limited connection between the original story and main characters.
Rotten Tomato

What plot? This is a collection of random actions with nothing tying them together. Everyone who appears on screen is immediately forgettable. Nothing really makes sense in connecting to the original story.
Director Notes
Creativity

Box Office Gold

The story is shown in a new and innovative manner. The limited resources available are used in an inventive manner.
Big Opening Weekend

The story is shown in a different but not unfamiliar manner. The limited resources available are used in a somewhat inventive manner.
Indy Buzz

The story has moments of innovation. Some ingenuity is used in the use of available resources.
Rotten Tomato

The story is told with little creativity. The resources are used in a limited manner.
Director Notes

Every person had a significant role in creating this project and used their particular talents in the best way possible to help the team.
Big Opening Weekend

Every person had a role in creating this project, though they may have made better use of their talents to help the team.
Indy Buzz

Most people contributed to creating this project.
Rotten Tomato

One person did all the work for the team, or one person took over the whole project. The team did not work as a team.
Director Notes

No storyboards. No shot list.
Director Notes
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.
Director Notes
Audio and Lighting

Sound and picture

Box Office Gold

Dialogue sounds clear and crisp. Music and sound effects suit the cinematography, character, and mood. Lighting is always suitable to the mood of the scene, and technically well done.
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. Lighting is frequently suitable to the mood of the scene, and the majority of it is technically well done.
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. Not much attention was paid to lighting, but the viewer can still see most of the action.
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. Footage is too dark to be seen or overexposed for the majority of the film.
