This is how you would rate video quality.
1) shot with professional camera and lenses, Sony EX1, EX3, Canon 5D, etc
2) In Focus
3) correct exposure
4) well composed and framed
5) good use of Close Ups, Medium Shots and Wide shot in an effective sequence
6) well lit, with key lights, fill lights, back lights, kickers and background, lighting that adds to the atmosphere and effect of the scene.
7) Proper and good grading
8) Good encoding at a rate that allows it to be watched on a computer at 25 fps without dropping frames.
9) Sound, to be recorded with a professional microphone, separate from the camera, boomed. Mixed and balance in good stereo or 5.1.
In other words if a site scored 15 for video quality it would be the same as he could expect from a Standard TV program.
I would recommend you read "How to Read a Film" this discusses in depth the questions you need answers to.
