I think there might be a point to seperate Graphics and sound into two categories but it needs to be evaluated carefully first though.
Humor would be good.. Violence.. hmm... nah

Humor might be good on comedies, but not all movies are made comedies

I'm not really of the opinion that movies should be rated on whether or not somebody has the same music tastes as the author.

But that's just me, and I do agree about the A/V quality option being abused. Perhaps it could be removed, or a set figure rated by the moderator that publishes it that will be displayed (saying as it's more fact than opinion)?

I still seriously feel that a break down of how the movie was rated is required. Why? The author needs to know what he/she needs to improve on. Basically you have the break down of each category rated and then the sum at the bottom of each comment/rate or even a break down where the avg. rate is. As an author I want know exactly where I need to improve and I am sure every author wants this too.

I agree with the original suggestion, but it would be better if the music vote had no effect on the overall rating of the video.

You could make one of the categories "Sound" and just remove the A/V category. If the movie has bad video quality just lower your grade on their Editing.

I completely agree with Valamir here. I just assumed that the whole point of the rating system was so that the movie maker COULD see the individual scores given for each category. If the movie maker can't see that already then they definitely should be able to. Whether or not the rest of the community can see the individual scores - I don't mind either way.
Valamir's other point, that "choice of music" should be separate from A/V quality is also very valid.

Possibly, but I also think that confusion or people's differeing ideas on what each category is for actually adds more incentive for my idea of a guide to rating movies which must be read before you gain Fame:2 and the ability to post comments and ratings.

I'll quote my post from another thread:
Quote:
Is there a guide to rating anywhere?
It should have 4 parts and say something like this:

A guide to rating:

Content: this deals with such and such. Example: blah blah.
If you think their content was terrible rate a 1, if it was lacking and could use improvment give a 2 ... if you think it was outstanding and mind blowing, giv ea 5
Creativity: This deals with the artistic value or blah blah. Is this video exceptionally unique and ground breaking? Give a 4-5. If it's all been seen before and a clone of 100s of other videos, give a 1-2
Editing: How professional is the video? Is the editing annoying or enjoyable? Does it add or subtract from the movie?
A/V Qual: Did the music appeal to you? Was the voice acting if applicable easy to understand? Was the video tiny and hard to see or was it large and clear?

ETC ETC.

Once you were eligible to reach the value of Fame: 2, you could be automatically sent a PM asking you to read the guide and answer around 2-5 multiple choice questions to show you'd read it. Once completed, you would be given Fame: 2 and would be allowed to comment and rate movies.

What do you Admins think?
