Record appreciation for 2006-7 films We received our best-ever audience reaction
figures across the 2006-2007 season of films. Using a method of
analysis common amongst film societies we ask our audience to
say whether they consider the film to be Excellent, Good, Fair,
Poor or Awful. These were last season’s results:

Topsham Film Society Film Votes 2007-8 The TFS
audience reaction system is one used
by all similar clubs in the British Federation of Film Societies.
The votes in each category (Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor and Awful)
are multiplied and the resulting score then divided by the number
of votes cast, to end up with a percentage. 'Excellent' votes
are multiplied by 100, 'Good' by 75, 'Fair' by 50, 'Poor' by
25 and 'Awful' by 0. At its simplest the resulting percentage
scores show which films were liked better than others. But sometimes
a movie that 'divides' an audience can be worthwhile too - controversy
is not always a bad thing.
