Overall, your grade in this class is for completion, not necessarily quality of work. For Art of Video specifically, every Friday, the class analyzes the video announcements created by one group of 5 or 6 students. Everyone in the class is required to take notes in the format of TAG (Tell a compliment, ask a question, give a suggestion) and this is the ONLY writing we do! As long as you stay engaged during class and take notes during his slide presentations, the film projects should be enjoyable and not rushed (he gives us many weeks to complete one film project, of course everything is different while we're online). Lastly, there are no tests or quizzes, so the film projects and video announcements make up the majority of your grade!

Mr. Carrillo is a lovely teacher, and is knowledgable and passionate about film and photography. He values hard work, and wants all of his students to succeed, so he is relatively lenient on due dates. If you do plan on taking Art of Video, make sure to not procrastinate on the video announcements and to contact your interviewees as soon as possible!
