FINAL EXAMINATION

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
1. Periodic Examinations: (Preliminary, Midterm, and Final)
The primary design of this course will be lecture, group discussion and individual participation. Homework assignments will require students to
execute the basic fundamentals being taught in the classroom. Building a good foundation is critical to success and a clear understanding of basic standards
is essential before advancing to the next level. Initially students will work in groups of two. Working as a team, students are expected to share what they
know with one another in order to reach a common goal of successfully completing each assignment. These group assignments will be graded individually.
Everyone’s work will be evaluated and critiqued during class. Students will be asked to participate in the process of critiquing each other’s work.
Constructive criticism should never be taken personally, understanding that filmmaking is often a collaborative process. Hands-on training is where each
student develops the physical and mental skills necessary to perform each task successfully. This may require some students to put in more time and effort to
be successful. Students should reach out to those in the class who may have more knowledge, skill and a willingness to help those with less natural skill or
experience.
The following are the major areas by which each assignment may be reviewed and graded:
• Video stability
• Tri-pod usage
• Hand-held shots
• Jump cuts
• Content
• Following directions of assignment
• Audio quality
• Framing
• Screen Direction
• Use of proper settings on camera

• Sequencing
• Use of audio
• Storytelling

b. Recitation
c. Assignment
d. Quizzes/ Long Test
e. OBE Related Output ( Portfolio of major activities in Video and film production)

Grading System

For a student to pass the course, one should get a grade of 75% in his/her final grade, which is computed from the following:

A. TERM GRADE

Class Standing 60%

Recitation /Assignments/ 20%
Seatwork
Quizzes/ Long Test 20%
Oral Presentation of Paper/ 20%
Projects/ OBE Related Output

Periodic Examination 40%

100%

B. SEMESTRAL GRADE

BAC 105 Fundamentals in Video and Film Production Page 12 of 14

 The Semestral Grade is obtained by getting the sum of the 33% of the Prelim Grade (PG), 33% of Midterm Grade (MG), and 34% of the Final Grade
(FG) for the course.
SG = (PG x 0.33) + (MG x 0.33) + (FG x 0.34)
