loss of marks

When evaluating other peoples film openings that were provided to our teacher in her training we learnt that marks can be lost by not having steady camera shots unless its clear the ‘shaking’ camera shot is suppose to be there for effect. Other ways marks can be lost is through bad continuity, meaning that something has suddenly appeared in the background or someone is wearing different clothing. Title sequences can also lose you marks because one example in the low L3 lost marks because of this, due to the titles being inconsistent in appearance and too small to read. Another way marks can be lost is through using copyright music, the music has to be copy right free or from the original artist. When we heard about what marks they were given we were quite surprised as we marked some them lower than they actually were but once explained it was understandable why.
