      1. This week's homework:
         1. 5 pts: Pacing (Is it so slow the audience gets bored? Is it so fast the audience misses things?)
         2. 5 pts: Audio (Is the dialogue clearly spoken? Do other sounds drown the dialogue out? Do the sounds help reinforce the plot?
         3. 5 pts: Visuals (Title & credits?Can the audience see what's going on?  Do the shot choices direct the audience's focus in ways that help move the plot along? Are the transitions distracting?)
         4. 5 pts: Video should convey a specific emotion (anger, sadness, joy, etc.) and have that emotion be the title of the video. Music choices can help with that, but make sure you have permission and properly credit your sources.
