Thursday's class

You're watching a movie - HOORAY!

And then you're writing a review of the movie - BOO!


But, the idea is: you watch the movie. You enjoy the movie. Then write a *technical* movie review, covering the following areas:
- basic review - good parts, bad parts, acting, directing
- genre review - how does it fit into the genre? which genre is it? what are the rules that it follows? what are the rules that it breaks?
- shots and angles review - describe how angles and framing is used to enhance the movie. Pick out two different scenes that use this to good effect and explain. - music and sound effects - how does music affect the viewing experience. give an example of how music is used in the film to provoke and emotional response from the viewer.

I'll post a similar review soon to give you a basis for the amount of detail I'm expecting.

Enjoy,
