Video Objective, Guidelines, and Scoring Checklist
OBJECTIVE
To create a 6-minute (+2) video showing the process of your group’s invention development to solve a particular problem, from idea inception to final product creation (Blooper reel no longer than 20 seconds at the end, not included in 6+2 time limit.)
GUIDELINES for STORYBOARD DEVELOPMENT
- Make a schedule of due dates, and include a video timeline based on due dates and design progress.
- What is the timeline of your design development?
- What does your group want to include in the video? (Examples: task allocation, field experiences, idea generation, choice of problem, design development [including pitfalls], final prototype explanation, future fine-tuning.
- Does the video script include all requirements from the video checklist?

Qualitative Product Review (10 points)
Accomplish Objective – Does the video accomplish the objective of presenting the development of an innovative model to solve a specific problem from idea inception to final product creation in 6+2 min (not including the 20 second blooper reel)?
Academic Quality – Is the academic material presented in a scholarly, useful, professional manner?
Entertainment Quality – Is the academic material presented in a manner that is entertaining to watch?
Fun – Is it evident students had fun making the video? Are they enjoying learning?
Creativity – What is the overall originality of the video (presentation, style, ideas, etc…)?
Visual Aesthetics – Consider the video’s appearance and visual appeal. Do these add to/detract from the overall video quality and viewing experience?
Cinematography – How is audio and lighting quality? Is the camera operation steady? Do these add to/detract from the overall video quality and viewing experience?
Video Editing – Is it apparent that the video has been edited in a way that makes for a clean final product?
Coherence – Does the video flow from one section to the next (make sense to the viewer, and add to their understanding of the process)?
Video inspires funding of model/prototype – If you were a grantee or potential supporter, does the video give you enough information about the model, and convince you that the model is creative and beneficial enough to inspire funding?
