Topsham Film Society Film
Votes 2011-12 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.
