Sep 26, 2024 · Crafting an informative and engaging movie review demands a delicate balance of captivating storytelling, insightful analysis, and thoughtful critique. In this guide, we’ll explore the essential elements of writing a movie review, accompanied by illustrative examples to elucidate each point.
In this lesson learners will revise some film review vocabulary through pair-work discussions. They they will write their own film review after analysing a model. Then they will read each other’s reviews and have a class vote about which film looks most interesting.
- Show Students Film Review Examples. To begin, I like to lead a brief whole-class discussion where we chat about the difference between getting a recommendation from a friend and reading a professional movie review.
- Know Your Audience. As we wrap up this lesson, I ask students to consider the audience of each review. For example, is the review aimed at children, adults, or even a teen magazine?
- Teach How to Watch the Film. The next step is to teach students how to watch a film with purpose, rather than simply for pleasure! In an ideal situation, I recommend watching a film twice.
- Provide Common Vocabulary. As part of a film study, it’s important for students to be able to speak the “language” of movie making. After viewing the movie, I like to take some time to outline some key terms to help students write their reviews.
