INFORMATION
This contest will consist of 5 rounds (not including the audition round). In each round we will pair vidders up and they will vid against eachother, meaning one from each pair will go on to the next round.
Juding System:
We will be using a criteria when judging, scoring 1-100 in a total of 4 categories. (Theme, Musicality, Structure, Overall Editing)
Theme: How well did the video fit the theme of the round? Storylines - was the story easy to understand just from watching the video?
Musicality: Song choice - does the video fit the overall feeling of the chosen song? Was the pace of the clips too fast/slow? Were the lyrics taken too literally
or too loosely? Did the clip choices make sense? Was the song cut accurately or was it obvious where it was cut?
Structure: Were the fades, transitions, etc. smooth? Effects - did they make the video better or take away from it? Were the right effects used? Were they
sloppy or overrused? Unique? Creative? Voiceovers - Could they be heard? Did the audio effects used on the voiceovers work well
with the rest of the video? Was there a point to the voiceovers? Were there no voiceovers where there should have been, and vice versa? Were they in the
correct place?
Overall Editing: Was the video long enough to get the point across? Too long/short? Did the video repeat itself? Attention to detail? (no glitches, colouring,
HD quality, no lip flapping, etc.)
Keep in mind that not all of this will apply to every video. For example, some videos will have storylines while others will not.
