ULTIMATELY, your TOTAL running time of the film can be 4:21. You needed 5 seconds of a slate at the beginning + your 4 minute film + 15 seconds for scrolling credits + 1 second of black at the end. That all adds up to a maximum of 4:21.
Do you have the proper 'slates' at the beginning of your film (see letter "O" in the filmmaking rules)?
*
YES
You needed 5 total seconds of a slate (over black) prior to the start of your film. It should be 1 second of black + 3 seconds of a title slide with your team name, film name, and genre + 1 second of black. THEN, your actual movie begins.
Have you watched your entire film once you EXPORTED it, prior to submitting it to your teacher?
*
YES
There have been times where a student EXPORTS the film, but they really only exported a single clip, or the export didn't play properly. Watch your film after the export process. Whatever YOU submit to your teacher is what WE receive. If the film is unwatchable for any reason, it will be disqualified.
UPLOAD the YOUTUBE THUMBNAIL. Be sure to upload a JPEG / JPG. No other formats please.
