    2. Homework
      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 show a large amount of time passing while only using a small amount of video and a series of cuts. (Do NOT use text to say that time has passed. That's the lazy way out and you will not earn credit.).

        1. Nineteen storyboards were submitted.
