Scriptwriting

Poor

The script lacks focus. There is no imagination or creativity. There is no reporter track; reporter questions or graphics are used to further the story. Story lacks a beginning, middle or end. No lead and tag are written in the student's reporter's notebook.
Fair

The script lacks a focus and wanders; there is no clear beginning, middle or end. There is very little creativity and the script is very generic. Reporter track is limited and repeats interview soundbites. A lead and tag are partially written in the student's reporter's notebook.
Good

The script has a clear beginning, middle and end; but lacks a "hook" to keep the viewer's interest. There is some Nat sound and creativity/originality to the writing. Good use of reporter track and soundbites to tell a complete story. A lead and tag are written in the student's reporter's notebook.
Excellent

The script grabs the attention from the start and is written in a clear, active voice and is creative. The script matches the video and uses Nat sound to enhance the story. There is a clear beginning, middle and end. A lead and tag are written in the student's reporter's notebook.
Interviews

Poor

Interviews are set-up poorly with no attention to framing, background or foreground. No lights were used and the subject is dark or has harsh shadows. The rule of thirds is not followed.
Fair

Interviews are set-up okay with little attention to framing, background or foreground. Shot is too wide or too loose. The rule of thirds is sometimes followed and subject is lit with only "natural" light.
Good

Interviews are set up properly but framing is a bit loose with excess space; some attention was paid to the rule of thirds. Background/foreground distract from the subject. Subject is lit.
Excellent

Interviews are not looking directly into the camera and are framed with talkroom. Headroom is appropriate for the shot and attention is paid to the background/foreground. Subject is well lit.
Soundbites/Audio

Poor

There is no interview sound or it is overrun by ambient noise. There is no Nat sound. No soundbites are written out in the student's reporter's notebook.
Fair

The interview subject is not mic'd and background noise interferes with the interview sound. Nat sound changes from shot to shot. Some soundbites are written out in the student's reporter's notebook.
Good

The interview subject is mic'd and sound is generally clear but may be too high or too low at times. Nat sound is used sparingly but is not distracting when used. Most soundbites are written out in the student's reporter's notebook.
Excellent

The interview subject is mic'd and audio is clear, Nat sound is not competing. Sound levels are not over-modulated or peaking. Sound is woven together and does not change with each piece of video. All soundbites are written out in the student's reporter's notebook.
B-Roll

Poor

There is no shot variety and the majority of the video is handheld with a lot of unmotivated camera movement.
Fair

There is little shot variety and few different camera angles are used. Video is shaky and poorly framed. There is little tripod use.
Good

There is shot variety and different angles are used. Most shots are steady and well framed. A tripod was used.
Excellent

A wide variety of shots and angles contribute to the story. Video is rock-steady and solid; moving shots are motivated and have a purpose. Shots are well framed and adhere to the rule of thirds.
Editing

Poor

Little to no editing has been done. Audio and video transitions are distracting making the story hard to follow
Fair

Editing is poor with little shot variety; there's extra video and jumpcuts. Audio is inconsistent and does not match video. Transitions are distracting.
Good

The story is edited well but is not seamless; some video/audio or transitions are distracting. Interviews are not adequately covered.
Excellent

The edited story is seamless. Shots flow together and there are no video or audio jumpcuts. Transitions are well used and the pacing is good. Soundbites are short and enhance the video.
