Preliminary Scores

Well, Moviefest has posted the scores from the preliminary judging. It turns out that 2 of our films were in the middle of the pack, and one only just scraped in to the regionals. There were only a small number of entries in the hobbyist category, so there were only a couple that didn't make it into a regional final :) The total scores are out of 25. The top film (which happens to be the other one in the Wellington regional) got 20.3 out of 25. Our best film (which is in the Wellington heat) got 17.1, the other in that heat got 13.7. In the Christchurch heat, our film got 13.3, while the opposition got 13.8 and 13.6. These are only the preliminary round scores (and there was something wrong with the tape we submitted - picture glitches, which have been rectified), but our chances of getting in to the finals are somewhat slim - unless the Christchurch judges really like superheroes!

Did the Fraser snuff porn movie get the 20.3?

Sorry I meant 17.1.

Life Lesson 12 - 17.1

Teach Him A Lesson - 13.7

With Mighty Power - 13.3

Although all those scores are with a glitchy tape, which probably won't have helped. We have delivered new tapes, which have been checked and are apparently OK. They will use the new tapes for the regional screenings (and presumably judging).

SO it was the how to be cool movie that scored best?

It gives me more evidence that amateur films have to be purely comedy for them to be at all respected :/

Which isn't to say that it's not super cool that your film class production did so well :)

Yeah, the how to get a date one scored best in the preliminary round.

It will be interesting to see how the regionals go - they're judged again, and apparently with a less strict focus on technical aspects (I think that means the judges just say which ones they think are best, going by whatever criteria they choose). We can certainly hope that our films are viewed more favourably without the picture glitches :)
