Build a provisional profile
Pick a starting point. The questionnaire begins with production situations; manual editing works directly with the eight axes. Either route gives you a hypothesis you can revise, compare, export, or discuss.
This tool models the choices you select. It doesn't measure authorship, originality, ethics, or the worth of a film.

Read the profile as a hypothesis. It records the choices you made in this model; it doesn't rank films or filmmakers.
Nearest structural references
The closest positions in this eight-axis model. Read them as prompts for comparison, not as claims of lineage or influence.

A provisional reading
Reflect on this profile
- Which two choices shaped this profile the most?
- Which nearby filmmaker is a useful comparison, and which nearby match feels misleading?
- What part of your project can these eight axes not hold?
- What would you change after talking this profile over with a collaborator or tutor?
Assignment: build a profile for your project, export it, then write about 300 words on two axis choices, one useful comparison with the corpus, and one thing this model leaves out.
