Characters
threshold: pts
Edit criterion description
5 pts Each character has a clear personality. We get to know them well enough to have opinions about whether we would be friends with them in real life.

Sound
threshold: pts
Edit criterion description
5 pts Sounds may be a little rough, but are what you would expect in a movie - they help make the story better (music, dialogue, and/or sound effects).
4.5 pts Sounds explain the movie but occasionally more or different sound/dialogue might be helpful.
4 pts There is a lack of sound effects or dialogue, or the music doesn't sync well to the story.

Pacing
threshold: pts
Edit criterion description
5 pts Flow is believable and feels like a "real" movie. Story is not rushed and it doesn't move too slowly. Actions seem like they could happen in the time given.
4.5 pts Flow is mostly believable. There may be parts that feel a little rushed or move too slowly.
4 pts Flow seems pretty far off from what it should be.
