    A review customarily includes the following elements:

    • Identification of the genre or general nature of the subject being reviewed

    • A brief summary of the subject matter (such as the basic plot of a film or novel).

    • Discussion supported by evidence of the specific strengths and weakness of the subject reviewed.

    • A comparison of the subject with related works, including other works by the same author, artist, or
    performer.

    MOVIE REVIEW

    Usually ranges in length from 250 to 750 or 1000 words.

    • The main purpose of a movie review is to inform the reader about the film and its ideas.

    • While movie review allows writers to express their opinions about some film or documentary, there is
    also the need for the unbiased and objective approach. An ideal review combines both.

    I. Introduction

    • With title, release date, background information

    II. Summary of the story

    • What is it about?
    III. Analysis of the plot elements

    • Rising action, climax

    IV. Creative elements-dialogues, characters, use of colors, camera techniques (shot sizes, angles
    and movements) mood, tone, symbols, costumes or anything that contributes from the
    overall plot such as script.

    V. Conclusion-announcing whether the filmmaker was successful in his/her purpose, re-state your
    evidence, explain how the motion picture was helpful for providing a deeper understanding of course
    topic.

    Mistakes to Avoid

    1. Not focusing on the film –strive to avoid writing about unnecessary details or introducing
    irrelevant information such as the history of cinematograph.

    2. Inserting yourself – The paper reflects your understanding and opinion of the motion picture
    you’ve seen and there is no need to write in first person all the time:

    • I noticed this, I saw that I liked this, I disliked that

    3. Giving out your opinion without mentioning any reason you think that way.

    4. Writing generalities such as great acting, cool effects, a good movie, it was bad etc.

    5. Writing a review without substance or analysis of the feature.
