Criteria for Production work

Here is a list of the criteria from the exam board for the production and post-production work:


CONSTRUCTION (creative use of technical skills)   

Low Holding shot steady
Framing shot appropriately
Variety of shot distances
Appropriate material for task
Selecting mise-en-scène
Editing for meaning to viewer
Varied shot transitions, captions and other effects
Use of sound with images/editing Using titles appropriately Contribution (where relevant)

All of this is very subjective and is not all appropriate for all films, however you should try to think about this list when filming and editing your open sequence. If all is of this is deemed to be 'excellent' you will be hitting the top mark bracket.
