The Panik-Baxter Scale

A System of Objective(ish) Film Rating

https://michaelpanik.github.io/panik-baxter-scale/

The Panik-Baxter Scale is an attempted to take opinions out of the rating of films, and look at them through a truly objective eye. By breaking down a film into five major categories, each with a set of subcategories that ask for the reviewers' evaluation of a highly-specific aspect of the film, the final score can be seen as a reflection of the quality of the film as a whole, rather than the opinions of a few.

Each subcategory is scaled using the Golden Ratio, in a further attempt to be unopinionated and honest. A system of pair-wise evaluation was used to determine the hierarchy of categories and sub-categories. They were then assigned ratio values starting with 1 that would then be used to scale the final composite score of both the subcategories and categories.

The final composite score is, essentially, a composite of a composite.

To do

  1. N/A option for certain subcategories (score/soundtrack, audio in silent pictures)
  2. Unique film IDs/hook into an open film db
  3. Configure backend to store all ratings
  4. Get averaged master rating from backend
  5. Bell curve system for master ratings after 5 have been submitted
  6. Different scales for different genres
  7. Rebuild UI in Vue
