DM-05. Social Media Video
A video produced by any MIPA member program exclusively for social media to report about a single topic, issue or event. This video should NOT be included in any other social media coverage entry. Video need not follow a traditional news story format, but should be journalistic in nature. Judges will watch no more than the first five minutes of any entry more than five minutes in length. Submit a shareable URL to the social media post.
JUDGING CRITERIA
- Audio is clear; volume is consistent
- Music (if used) is appropriate for the subject matter, is not distracting and does not violate copyright
- Video is steady/not shaky
- Video exhibits best practices for B-roll: wide, medium, tight shots; limited use of pans/zooms
- Video footage is framed well; follows composition standards; is in focus with good lighting
- Text in any graphic elements is a good size, color to read
- Use of music or other content that is not created by student staff members:
- If any music is included in an entry, indicate the title(s) of track(s) used and source of the music. Provide this information either in a name-slate/title card in a video entry or in the Additional Information field on the entry form.
- If you are making a “fair use” claim on copyrighted materials, please cite your reasoning in the entry form.
