Quote:
In reading through the second groups answers & critiques, something occured to me... My challenge was to pitch an idea to Alfred Hitchcock, which I did (Cask of Amontillado). Casting the film I pitched wasn't part of my assignment but I made the extra effort and did it anyway, yet I can't help but believe from my D grade that my casting choice of Bela Lugosi weighed on some of the judges' scores (Even though, I did state my first choice would have been Boris Karloff for the role and Lugosi would have been my second.) What gives judges? That's like someone attempting extra credit on an exam and getting it wrong. Normally, the missed extra credit wouldn't have an adverse effect on your overall score, you just wouldn't get any bonus points for it. I ended up 2/3rds of a grade lower than Dude Guad who simply recast the exact same film and just 1/3rd higher than Freak who literally planned to stalk and assault Steven Spielberg. (No offense guys.) From what I gather based on the scores, I would have scored higher if my entire answer consisted of "I'd tell Alfred Hitchcock to make Psycho 2." Is that a fair assessment judges? Would I have scored higher if I had not mentioned anything about casting at all?

Go back and reread the judges comments on your pitch. You'll see there were plenty of other reasons for grading you low.

Oh, I know. There were some great points too, but the Lugosi thing seemed to be the one most ridiculed.
So... I would have scored higher if my entire answer consisted of "I'd tell Alfred Hitchcock to make Psycho 2."? Basically, I feel like that would have gotten me a C-.

So the people that didn't send the answers in...do they get disqualified from the whole thing or just this challenge?

Looks like our remaining Final Judge had to dash to Florida, after all.
Grades for the Goblins, and the next Test will be up when I am online next.
