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 of Hitchcock's 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 not the same as Hitchcock's. Student's did their own thing, instead of learning how Hitchcock created movies.
Director Notes
Lighting

Box Office Gold

Lighting is always suitable to the mood of the scene, and technically well done.
Big Opening Weekend

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

Not much attention was paid to lighting, but the viewer can still see most of the action.
Rotten Tomato

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

Box Office Gold

Dialogue sounds clear and crisp. Music and sound effects suit the cinematography, character, and mood.
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.
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.
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.
Director Notes
Costumes/Props

Box Office Gold

All costumes and props are suitable to character, time, and place. All props look real.
Big Opening Weekend

Most costumes and props are suitable to character, time, and place.
Most props look real.
Indy Buzz

Little attention was paid to planning costumes and props, but the end result isn't too bad. Some props are inappropriate, or look obviously fake.
Rotten Tomato

People showed up in clothes. No effort was put into re-creating what is in the Hitchcock film. That's it. Props are missing or poorly chosen.

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

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

Flashes of influence are seen, but those seem accidental rather than deliberate.
