  3. Does not have anything in your video that would get you into trouble. (Running down hallways, jumping on tables, etc.)
  4. Story has a clear beginning, middle, and end.
  5. Features characters that:
    1. Know what they want.
    2. Have someone or something stop them from getting what they want.
    3. Change over the course of the story.
  6. Has a satisfying ending.
  7. Has shots with specific camera angles and descriptions of what is happening on screen.
