Picture Lock Deadlines/Audience Survey

Hi All! Just to follow up on what's due next week and beyond -

EVERYONE must turn in a picture-locked cut of their video next week, November 20th. We will be using the entire class time to screen all 25 films, so please BE ON TIME.

Films must be delivered on DVD or by a video link (Vimeo, YouTube) emailed to me BEFORE class begins. Anyone not adhering to this submission format will have a letter grade deducted from their picture lock grade.

ALSO DUE: AUDIENCE SURVEY
Please bring a paper survey to be filled out by your classmates that addresses specific feedback you want on your cut. I suggest keeping your questions for feedback focused on audience reactions and outcomes, since major changes cannot be made after this due date.

Students are free to create the most fitting survey for their work, but the following is required of all audience surveys:

1. Surveys must contain 3-5 questions for feedback, one of those questions must concern actor performance.

2. All surveys must have an established scale for responses (1-5, 1-10, etc.), allowing you to gauge answers more precisely. No "yes or no" questions or scales less than 1-5. You may include a comments section, it is not required.

3. Students must provide a copy of their survey to the entire class (24) as well as the instructor and 2 graduate students. That's 27 copies - bring 28 to be safe!

PICTURE LOCK DEADLINE:
After discussing the matter with Zach, I've decided to grant the more-than-reasonable request of allowing small cut changes, should your survey feedback warrant it.

If any student needs to make a small change to their picture after turning in their initial pic lock cut, I WILL ACCEPT PICTURE LOCKED CUTS UNTIL 11:30AM, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21ST. Should you need to utilize this extension, please bring new cuts to my office or send links by email. I will not accept any cuts after this deadline. Any student who makes changes to their picture following this deadline will be have their final film grade penalized.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I am available anytime to view cuts and give feedback, up until the pic lock deadline. Don't hesitate to email me cuts or bring them to my office hours!
