O. Animation Quality
Does the animation show craftsmanship? Does the
style suit the story? Consider the backgrounds, characters, colors,
lighting/shades, and details
0 = No quality/Awful
1 = Poor
2 = Fair
3 = Good
4 = Excellent
P. Quality of Story and Voice Acting
Voice Acting, Overall Story (sometimes
adaptability)
0 = No quality/Awful
1 = Poor
2 = Fair
3 = Good
4 = Excellent
Second, add up the points so far to determine the
Animation Quality Score (AQ).
Animation Quality Scales Total (Sum of Scales O
& P)
0-3 = Saltine: Dry, bland, doesn’t dip well, makes
you thirsty...to stop eating (Poor)
4-6 = Pretzel: Comfy, familiar, but would be
better with something (Good)
7-8 = Pita: Tasty, soft, fillable, delicious
(Amazing)
Third, determine your personal style, reaction,
and interest in the film on three separate scales. This may not have anything
to do with the Quality scales. In other words, these answers are subjective,
your opinion, and naturally biased.
Q. Personal Style
Is the animation artistically appealing, to you?
(Consider when you look at art, cartoons, or illustrations--how does this film
compare?)
0 = Absolutely not/Hated the style
1 = Not really/Didn't like style
2 = A little/Liked the style
3 = Yes/Enjoyed the style
4 = Absolutely/Love the style
R. Personal Reaction
Did you believe the story? Did it make you
think? Was the film confusing (or not)? Was the film witty? Did it make you
laugh or cry? Were you impressed? Was it nostalgic? Was [whatever it is you
deem important in a film] accomplished/successful?
0 = No reaction/Hated it
1 = Little reaction/Didn't like it
2 = Reacted/Liked it
3 = Good Reaction/Enjoyed it
4 = Great Reaction/Loved it
S. Personal Likelihood of Re-viewing
Whether you'd re-watch a film may say more about
your reaction and tastes than answering any other kind of question.
0 = None/I'd never watch it again
1 = Slim
2 = Possible
3 = Likely
4 = Very Likely
Fourth, add up the points of this second set of
scales to determine the Animation Personal Score (AP)
Animation Personal Scales Total (Sum of Scales
Q, R, & S)
0-4 = Sour Cream: I don't want to eat that on
its own (Poor)
5-9 = Hummus: Good but abundant, would be better
spiced up (Good)
10-12 = Guacamole: Tangy, rich, and flavorful (Amazing)
HOORAY! You now have several ways of
reading/recording this information:
1. Just use the numbers:
Animation Quality Score (AQ) = _8 &
Animation Personal Score (AP) = _/12
Note: Don't combine the scores because this
places less emphasis on your personal score.
2. Use the label chart:
