    This document outlines the grading criteria for a film composition class on a scale of 40-100. Scores in the 90-100 range indicate a professional standard composition that enhances the film through compelling musical ideas and well-considered spotting and underscoring. Scores in the 80-89 range represent exceptional undergraduate work that strongly supports the film. Scores from 70-79 represent excellent work that adds to the film's emotion and character through well-considered music.

    Class descriptors: Film Composition

    90-100: Professional standard. Exceptionally sophisticated work that could scarcely be


    improved upon. Some or all of the following attributes will be present: exceptional technical
    command and crafting of appropriate musical material; exceptionally compelling musical
    ideas that enhance the films emotional content and add depth to characterisation through
    very well considered spotting and underscoring; leitmotif use (where appropriate) will be
    extremely well considered and the synchronisation with visual cues will have only a few
    very minor errors. The work will evidence exceptional understanding of the needs of the
    film and will be suitable for professional performance or publication.
    80-89: High first class. Exceptional work that goes well beyond what is expected of an
    undergraduate. Some or all of the following attributes will be present: excellent technical
    command and crafting of appropriate musical material; excellent compelling musical ideas
    that enhance the films emotional content and add depth to characterisation through very
    well considered spotting and underscoring; leitmotif use (where appropriate) will be very
    well considered and the synchronisation with visual cues will have only a few minor errors.
    The work will evidence a very strong understanding of the needs of the film and will be
    suitable for professional performance or publication after modest revisions.
    70-79: First class. Excellent work that shows a high degree of technical achievement and a
    wide range of appropriate music cues. Work at this level will contain strong musical ideas
    that suggest compositional individuality and also add considerably to the films emotional
    content, add depth to characterisation through well considered spotting and underscoring.
    Leitmotif use (where appropriate) will be well considered and the synchronisation with
    visual cues will be largely accurate. The work will evidence a very strong understanding of
    the needs of the film and some understanding of professional standards.
    60-69: Upper second class. Good work that shows a degree of technical achievement and
    an understanding of the needs of the film with a range of appropriate music cues. Work at
    this level will contain focused ideas that are the result of careful spotting and underscoring;
    the music will largely enhance the films emotional content and characterisation; leitmotif
    use (where appropriate) will be generally well thought through and the synchronisation
    with visual cues may contain some errors but will be mostly accurate. The work will
    evidence a strong understanding of the needs of the film and also some understanding of
    professional standards.
    50-59: Lower second class. Satisfactory work that shows a degree of technical
    achievement and an understanding of the needs of the film but does not always deliver
    appropriate musical cues. Work at this level will contain musical ideas that are the result of
    spotting that is not always appropriate for the emotional content of the scene/film; leitmotif
    use (where appropriate) may be inappropriate and the synchronisation with visual cues
    may contain considerable errors. The work will evidence some understanding of the needs
    of the film and also very little understanding of professional standards.
    40-49: Third class. Work that shows very low technical achievement and a basic
    understanding of the needs of the film; a limited range of appropriate music cues will be
    used. Work at this level may not show evidence that the films spotting has been
    considered carefully enough; the music will not contribute to film or scenes emotional
    content and characterisation and may actively detract from the visual element; leitmotif use
    (where appropriate) will be poor and the synchronisation with visual cues may be
    considerably flawed. The work will evidence a poor understanding of the needs of the film.
