Developing

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

Proficient

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

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

Proficient

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.
Developing

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.
Emerging

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.
Insufficient Evidence

Insufficient Evidence
Evidence of influence

Clear evidence of influence by selected director. Themes, plot, character development, audio use, shot composition, or editing techniques reflect those of said director.
Proficient

Some evidence of influence by selected director. Themes, plot, character development, audio use, shot composition, or editing techniques occasionally reflect those of said director.

No clear influence of selected director is seen.
Insufficient Evidence

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

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

What plot? This is a collection of random actions with nothing tying them together.
Insufficient Evidence
Character Development

Mastery

All characters are as thoroughly fleshed-out as the story requires. Clear protagonist and antagonist.
Proficient

Most characters are as thoroughly fleshed-out as the story requires. Main characters are clear, but their roles in the story may not be.
