Following publication of a scale, with six variables rated out of 17 (so giving a maximum total rating of 102), for feature films, I have now developed one with more suitable criteria for documentaries, which I exhibit below.
The following example is a rating for The Lebanese Rocket Society (2012) :
54 = N : 10 / M : 8 / C1 : 11 / C2 : 7 / E : 11 / F : 7
N = narration / script
M = material / use of material
C1 = cinematography
C2 = cohesiveness
E = effects / music
F = feel
Mid-point of scale (all scores out of 17) = 9
For comparison, here is the scale for rating feature films in use :
97 = S : 16 / A : 17 / C : 15 / M : 17 / P : 16 / F : 16
A rating and review of Blue Jasmine (2013)
S = script
A = acting
C = cinematography
M = music
P = pacing
F = feel
Mid-point of scale (all out of 17) = 9
