An example of a grading rubric is as follows:
10 minute Chroma Key
This will be a 10 minute chroma key production that will show different aspects of how chroma key is used. You are to place yourself in a scene that does not normally happen in real life (in space, on water, in a beehive, etc.). As you are in this “space”, you will be describing where you are and what you are doing.
What is key to this production is how seamlessly you will fit into the scene and how smooth the production can go. You can get the background video on line (music videos, car races, bike racing, etc) or make your own.
Final finished piece will be placed in folder as an avi. Scripts, prop sheets, video sources will all be listed and made into a neat, typed packet. No more than two to a group.

1. Learn how to develop a preplan or script
2. Learn how to set shots (shoot to edit)
3. Learn how to add sound tracks
