CATEGORY	4	3	2	1	Evaluator's Section

Audio Soundtrack - Emotion	Music stirs a rich emotional response that matches the story line well. plays throughout	Music interesting & somewhat matches the story line. Plays throughout	Music is ok, and not distracting, but it does not add much to the story. Does not play throughout	Music is distracting, inappropriate, OR was not used OR had problems
Transitions & Animation & Timing	makes the PPT look like a video. Seamless look..smooth	A little choppy in spots, but looks much like a video	Choppy and childish in spots	Not much thought to Transitions, animation and timing
Text Layout	Are you sure you don't do this professionally? Great Whitespace	Text format and layout adds to the presentation Good Whitespace	OK, but more thought could have been placed on whitespace, Font and text position	Text looks wimpy & layout detail poor . Completed with little thought. No thought to whitespace.
References and Copyright Acknowledgement	Complete and artistically represented	Present but boring to read.	Not really well documented	No references and copyright acknowledgement
Storyboard/ Planning document	Very detailed I can imagine the presentation just by reading it	Somewhat detailed. Most multimedia elements are included	Just OK. Some description	Not very well done, or entirely missing.
