film reviews.

I've just thought i should look into film reviews a little more so we know what styles to go for & conventions to use within our review.
There are also issues that are going to come with this as if we want this to be as realistic as possible, we need to think about certain factors such as; how biased can we be? how much detail do we want to go into? and how much we are willing to give away?

Typical Features:


- star rating
- directors name
- main cast list
- length of film
- date of release
- picture of iconic image within the film/ or characters
- plot summary
- positives/ negitives
- personal opinion
- mention of audience/ target audience
- performance of actors
- comparison of directors work (use AS pieces)
- does anthing make it different?

we also need to think about asking the typical questions to ourselves, such as;

- who is our target audience?
- what are we trying to portray?
- where did we find our influences? (make comparisons)
- when did our film most excel?
- how have we used our techniques/ convetions/ camera work/ casting/ editing etc. to our best ability?

these are all questions we can consider when writing our review because as a critic there are certain areas & questions they will have to look at & consider. so if anyone had an copies of any film reviews bring them in asap so we can all have a look at the style they are written in aswel.

Caitlin. Have a look at Sight and Sound magazine or Dazed and Confused magazine as your short film might be best suited to these mediums.
