In the area of film or video, one or more works may be submitted on VHS, mini-DV or DVD. The work must be clearly identified in terms of your role in the creation of the work. If you created the work with several students, you must clearly state what work you did on the film or video.

NYSSSA School of Media Arts
State Education Dept.
89 Washington Avenue
Room 866 EBA
Albany, NY 12234

All applications and media works must be received by April 10, 2008.

METHOD 2

Have your work adjudicated at one of the New York State Youth Media Arts Shows, held regionally throughout the state. (See the schedule below)

RATING CRITERIA

Content of Work: 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?

Structure of Work: 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?

Use of Media and its Elements: 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?

Overall Rating: 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.
