methods used to obtain the requirements of not only making but also judging a winning film.<\/p><p>SoCo the Southern Counties Region of the IAC (Institute of Amateur Cinematographers) have also adopted the BIAFF\u2019s star rating system which works very well.<\/p><p>Several past BIAFF entry films were watched during the evening and the audience were then asked to make their own judgement and award their own BIAFF start ratings against each film.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5>The star ratings range from five to one star.<\/h5><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\">Five Stars<\/span><\/strong> is for an excellent film which is well structured, technically excellent, appealing, with a high standard of acting and well researched etc.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><strong>Four Stars<\/strong><\/span> is for a very good film with a good storyline and shows good technical ability and artistic features etc. but may have minor flaws.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\">Three Stars<\/span><\/strong> is a good film with well balanced sound, structure, planning and content and can also hold the viewers\u2019 attention.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><strong>Two Stars<\/strong><\/span> are for films which do not quite hit the mark with the judges due to inadequate cinematography, sound errors, voice over problems or editing issues etc.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><strong>One Star<\/strong><\/span> is for those films which lack several important issues which would have made it\u00a0 effective\u00a0 in engaging the viewer.<\/p><p>The overall conclusion is that there is \u2018no perfect system\u2019 when it comes to judging a film, but the discussion during the evening made the audience aware that a great deal of analysing goes into all aspects of rating a film.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element
