    Media Coursework: Film Review

    By the end of this session I will be able to write a film review using appropriate language and structure.

    What is a film review?


    Somebodys opinion of a film A critique of a film A brief plot summary Details about the best and worst bits Comments on special effects Comments on the performances of actors and actresses Comments on the skill of the director

    How are film reviews structured?


    Opening statement Plot summary Reviewers opinion

    Look at this example


    BILLY ELLIOT (15) It might be a small story young lad Billy fights for his right to be a ballet dancer but this emotional rollercoaster ride will reduce you to a quivering wreck and fill your heart with joy. A deserved boxoffice triumph.

    Now look at another. Can you identify the opening statement, the plot summary and the reviewers opinion?
    ROMEO MUST DIE (15) Martial artist Jet Li headlines this action packed kung fu movie loosely based on Romeo and Juliet. He plays an ex-Hong Kong cop who busts out of prison and heads straight for San Francisco to avenge the gangland murder of his brother. Its not the most believable of plots, but the fight scenes are breathtaking. Singer Aaliyah makes a lively love interest and trills out 4 of the soundtrack songs reason alone to see this film in our book.

    What kind of language is used in film reviews?


    Adjectival Phrases

    A side-splitting, rip-roaring, roller coaster ride of a movie! The suave super-spy, James Bond, is played by talented Brit-actor, Daniel Craig.

    Look at the example film review.


    Highlight all of the adjectives in one colour. Highlight all of the specialist terminology in another colour.

    The film is based on a Disney World rollercoaster ride. It is going to be a big summer movie. It is a fantasy/action/adventure. It is directed by Gore Verbinsky. It is aimed at both children and adults.

    YOU COULD: Use a pun based on the roller coaster ride idea. Use some words associated with pirates to add interest, e.g. Swashbuckling, buccaneer, shiver me timbers, pieces of eight, eye eye captain, keep an even keel, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, all aboard etc.

    Paragraph 2: Say who the director and the main stars of the movie are.
    Geoffrey Rush stars as Captain Barbossa Jonny Depp stars as Captain Jack Sparrow Kiera Knightley stars as Elizabeth Swann Orlando Bloom stars as William Turner YOU MUST USE ADJECTIVAL PHRASES TO DESCRIBE THE ACTORS/ACTRESSES AND THE CHARACTERS THEY PLAY.

    Swashbuckling, buccaneering, love interest, heart-throb, hero

    Paragraph 3: A brief summary of the film.

    Paragraph 4: Explain the best bits of the film. Use specialist terminology.
    Without a doubt, the best scene......................... For me, the most amazing scene of the entire movie was.................................................... The best scene of the movie has to be................

    Undoubtedly, the most mind-blowing scene of the movie was................................................

    Paragraph 5: Give your opinion.


    How many stars would you give it out of 5? Is it going to be a hit? Will audiences enjoy it? Is it a movie for the whole family? Could you use a pun to finish off your review? E.g. Buccaneers, me hearties, yo ho ho
