Policy Regarding Comments Show/Hide
Comments & Rating Feedback is important. We encourage you to rate and comment on submitted works. We ask that you keep the comments constructive and observant. They don't need to be solely positive, but certainly they need to be respectful of the time and effort it takes to create and express and communicate meaning. And we ask you to pay attention to the craft exhibited- not only the content. We are hoping you will use other criteria than the pop free-for-all of YouTube or the create-an-ad-on-your-phone sites. (Ooops - don't mean to demean the terrific, funny, smart use of particularly YouTube. Those sites just can't be the arbiter of the craft, can they?)
For your comments, imagine answering these questions:
- Is it a good story, told well. √
- Is the work of the particular artist who has posted this work effective.√
- Does it exhibit knowledge of filmmaking and filmmaking tools.√
- If you are inclined to recommend it, but think it falls short in some category, recommend it, but also leave your comment.
Ratings range from 0 to 5 stars, you can only rate a submission once.
Both comments and ratings are taken into consideration to help determine which videos become "Featured Videos". Featured videos get front page attention on the site for a select period of time.
Any comments that are deemed inappropriate (i.e. vulgar or offensive) will be removed.
