Grading System for Multimedia Features
I want to be clear about how I will grade your work this semester. I have already said I will be looking at the whole process, not just the final product. Here is my plan for each of four features you will produce this semester (current assignment will be your first graded assignment):
Grading Rubric for Multimedia Stories
Story Pitch – 10 points (clear description of well-thought out idea that meets standards of news; student has made calls and knows he or she can actually report the story/points lost if handed in late)
List of Sources and Questions – 10 points (Student has lined up actual people to interview and has done enough research on topic to formulate a list of meaningful questions to ask/must meet deadline)
List of shots – 5 points (Student has given thought to how he or she will illustrate the story/on deadline) NOTE: These five points will be a given if you are producing an audio podcast.
Meets deadline for shooting/collecting raw video/audio – 5 points
Script – 20 points (Turned in on time)
First Draft – 35 points (Student has completed first edit of feature on time/will be graded for content and production skills)
Second Draft – 15 points (Student has incorporated feedback from professor/guest journalists/fellow students and has made improvements to the first draft/ on deadline)
