Okay, well this is what I'm going to go with right off the bat. Again, anyone participating can do anything they want to do, any way they want to do it. This system hearkens back to some of my chatter from the "Random Elements of Storytelling" series. It also de-emphasizes, though doesn't discount, the importance of performance in the review, as I'm more interested in the story than in the actors. Others might feel that performance ought to have real weight in a review, and that's fine. Lord D's Film Reviews Five categories, each rated 0, 1, or 2, so that the final reviews range anywhere from 0 to 10, with 0 being the worst film ever, and 10, the best. Each category asks two yes-or-no questions. If the answer to both is no, that category gets a 0. If only one is a yes, it gets a 1. If both are a yes, it gets a 2. * PLOT: Does it make sense, and/or is free of huge holes? Does it seem like it hasn't been done too often? * MAIN CHARACTERS: Are they realistic? Do you care about them? * GENRE: Does it work for the plot? Would this tale have been better in another genre? * CONSTRUCTION: Is the acting competent for the tale? Are the production and/or editing competent? * PAYOFF: Did the film makers manage to do what they seemed to be intending? Are you emotionally satisfied when the film is over? -- http://www.cavalcadeaudio.com/ _______________________________________________ Hpr mailing list Hpr@hackerpublicradio.org http://hackerpublicradio.org/mailman/listinfo/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org
