Some things for your students to keep in mind. When we watch the entires we judge story first. This is our ninth year to do this and we have had many different kinds of videos win, like news stories, music videos, animation and short films. Good story telling will rise to the top. Having said that, technical achievement is also very important. The entries need to be in focus, properly exposed, composed and with audio at the appropriate levels. This can be the difference in getting an award and not.
Be sure to check the rubric below to make sure that you get the best grade possible.
