• Tip of the Day…
• Don’t wait until the night of April 13th. Leave yourself
time to test, test and re-test your DVD output
–
–
–
You must hand in your DVD output; production schedule and
critical review on April 14th – this is the last day of classes.
Test your DVD output on at least 3 (three) playback devices that
are NOT your own computer (i.e. your home DVD player, one or
two U of L computers in different class locations, or another DVD
player)
If your DVD does not work and I cannot watch your assignment, I
will send you only one email notice. You will begin to lose 5%
per day for lateness If you are unable to submit a working DVD
output before final grades are submitted you will receive a 0
(zero) for this final assignment.

• Critical Review
• Each student must chose to write a critical review of the
rough cut/work-in-progress work of one fellow
classmate.
–
–
If a student asks to review your work, each student is expected
to accommodate that request.
Some students may not receive any requests, others may
receive multiple.
• The critical review must be at least 500 type-written
words.
–
–
Critical reviews will not be accepted via email
Documents must include your name, the artist’s name and the
title of their piece.
NMED 2030
• Critical Review
• Each critical review must address one strength and one
weakness of the work.
–
–
•
“Strength” does not mean trumpeting flawlessness of someone’s work. It
refers to compositional intention that makes the work successful.
“Weakness” does not mean tearing a work to pieces. It refers to
compositional intention or lack thereof that undermines the piece.
Use scene analysis methodology
–
–
I.e.: A broad stroke shot-by-shot analysis to speak about lighting
as a strength
I.e.: A broad stroke shot-by-shot analysis to speak to acting as a
weakness

• Critical Review
• Critical Reviews are due on April 14th in class. This is at
the same time as the DVD of your work and your
production schedule.
• REMEMBER: Documents will not be accepted via
email. Hard copies only.
• This critical review is worth 10% of your final grade.
–
–
Grammar, spelling and clarity of composition will be evaluated
Each critical review must demonstrate:
1. a strong grasp of the critique process
2. a strong grasp of how to conduct a scene analysis (review
your first scene analysis assignment to see what you did
correctly and what you need to improve upon.)
