Hashing Out The Scores

So, after sitting down and brainstorming with a friend for a little bit, I came up with a way to do this to make it fair(ish). Basically what I came up with is a breakdown of important aspects to movies and books. (Anything outside of those two categories will probably just get a basic review without such a specific breakdown.)

So, for movies, here are the aspects that I'll look at:

  • Plot 
  • Characters/Characterization
  • Casting/Acting
  • Realism/Relatability
  • Other (which will encompass things such as CGI, animation, graphics, sountracks/musical scores, and whatever else may irk/please me)

Each aspect will be out of twenty points (think of it as five stars, if that helps you), with a total of 100 points. It's like a grade on a school test.

Books are mostly the same:

  • Plot 
  • Characters/Characterization
  • Style (which includes things such as mechanics, point of view, tense, yadda yadda yadda) 
  • Realism/Relatability 
  • Other

Same sort of scoring and whatnot.

Are we ready to go, then? I'm not sure I am, actually (there's a surprising amount of pressure, I feel, now that I'm actually about to start on my first review), but I shall forge onward!
