Rating system (for reference)

Quick note on rating system used:

I will have four categories in which the movie is given a score out of ten. They are meant to balance each other out so that if a movie is lacking in one particular regard, it doesn't bring down the whole film.

Categories (and the criteria used to judge them)

1. Acting (Do you see the actor or do you see the character? How much passion and nuance is put into each character?)

2. Cinematography (Is the film visually entertaining with various vantage points? Is the scenery and setting well shown and does it add much to the atmosphere?)

3. Plot (Does the story keep you on your toes and anticipatory? Is there a certain degree of complexity that requires thought and perhaps multiple viewing to fully grasp?)

4. Originality (Does this film play as something I have never seen before? Will it stand out in a crowd when compared to other movies of the year?)
