FILMING GUIDELINES FOR

DIGITAL SUBMISSIONS

PERFORMANCE
▸ The entire exam must be submitted as one continuous performance. This
includes pieces, scales and technical exercises. Any evidence of editing
the performance will amount to disqualification of the candidate.

▸ No information about the candidate needs to be verbally provided in the

video at the beginning of the performance. The recorded files need to be
labelled appropriately.

▸ Assistance can be given to film the performance and announce the names
of the Scales and Arpeggios.

▸ The book needs to be closed while performing the Scales and Arpeggios.
However, it can be used while playing the Pieces and the Exercises.
GENERAL GUIDANCE

THE ROOM

TV etc.

▸ The room should be well lit to ensure a clear view of the

view that can obstruct the examiner’s view of the
candidate hands.
