Rating Criteria
- Is the purpose of the work clear?
- How well do the images and ideas relate to each other?
- Does the title fit the piece?
- Is there a point of view?
- Is more information presented than needed?
- Are the edits, crops, splices, layering of sounds, etc., technically correct?
- Is there a design, a plan for the work such as a score or storyboard?
- If the student is working in one of the moving media (film/video), is a good variety of shots, special effects, etc., used?
- In computer arts, is the software used creatively, effectively, etc.?
- If titles or credits are used, are they readable, creative, suitable?
- Have you explored what the chosen media can do?
- Depending on the media, are color, light, shape/form, movement, time, line, texture, etc., used effectively to enhance the piece's message?
- Has your technological knowledge been a vehicle for fulfilling the work or has it become intrusive?
- This is not a single tabulation of the rating categories, but an intuitive, holistic evaluation of the student and the work. Considerations include whether there is a balance between content, structure, and media; whether your work reveals your ability to conceptualize; and whether there is a rightness and fitness to the work?
