I'm still trying to undesrtand the new wtm, and a I have new doubts.
I get shots from dvd to upload, and many of them are classics. They don't get a great rating and always rejected. But one special today rejected was solved 93 times and have overall rating 7,39 - http://whatthemovie.com/shot/28767 .
There is no fixed rating, that will get a shot to featurefilms. it depends on the other shots in the new submissions. The automatical queue-mover will check the new submissions every 30 minutes or so. It will then pick the shot, that has the highest rating and has been in the queue for more than 24 hours.
There are currently 25 shots which go on vote per 24h. Every hour the best shot (in these 24h) goes to FF Your shot simply did not have a high vote enough to make it to the next stage. On top of the 25 which go through on votes, we also push through an average of 25 other shots. I would say it was bad luck, there were probably better shots at that time, try again with another shot :)
