Film magazines such as Total Film and Empire review hundreds of films a year. They review the Hollywood mainstream to the little known foreign productions. There is a team of reviewers, who although have a personal opinion, aren't too opinionated. They are complex but easy reading. More complex reviews are available at Variety or newspapers like the Guardian or the New York Times. These reviews are more complicated, delving deeper into the dynamics of the film, questioning sub-texts and reacting to the whole film in it's entirety. While these reviews can be alienating to people looking for a linear review, one they can read, understand and comprehend without problem. However, these critics are highly regarded, much like how critics work in the theatre and book industry. I have chosen a film to be reviewed by the NY Times Vincent Canby and by an lesser known critic. The links are posted below.

I suggest you look at Little White Lies stay away from Emoire and TF they are very fanboy orientated. I have copies in the Office or look online. As for the Poster you need to research British Films as that is what yours is. You have done some analysis but it is very descriptive more detail and analysis and use of media language is needed. You will both have to come up with an idea and sketches and then decide which one you want to develop further.
ReplyDeleteDid you manage to get any filming done this weekend?
