There is a film contest that your documentary films could be entered into: The Rochester Teen Film Festival (deadline for 10 minute or fewer minute films of any style) is June 11. Presentation and screening is in August.
Rubric for your Documentaries:
A/A+: Video theme is compelling, significant, and well supported by effective camera work and transitions. The subject and portrayal/coverage of the subject raises and evokes questions, while attempting to move deeper into the subject. Video includes effective music/sound track, credits, title, and cinematography. Project was obviously a group effort. Film turned in on time and in correct format.
B/B+: Video is important and supported by camera work; transitions are appropriate and useful. The subject may raise or evoke questions, but film may have some gaps or weaknesses. Video includes music/sound track, credits, title and cinematography, but may have some mistakes or weaknesses. Project was probably a group effort. Film turned in on time.
C/C+: Video approaches film subject, but without much inspiration or effective analysis. Subject may have some gaps that would be improved with reediting or more effort, but overall the film project was completed. Video may be missing any of the following: music/sound, credits, title. Camera work may have some problems or weaknesses that affect the success of the film. Film turned in late.
D: Film was a C/C+ level, but turned in rather late or the project was attempted, but not completed.
F: Film incomplete or not turned in.
