Film Review and Poster Analysis
In this blog post, I will analyze some examples of film reviews and posters to understand the key conventions and techniques used within these media. I will then discuss my plans for creating my own review and poster.
Film Review Conventions
I analyzed two reviews from Empire magazine. Both followed several conventions:
- They begin with an attention-grabbing opening line to hook the reader.
- They provide details on the plot in an engaging way without revealing too many spoilers.
- They comment on the performances, directing, special effects, music and technical aspects.
- They give an overall verdict or recommendation atNeighbors Movie Review

The document provides a review and plot summary of the upcoming film "Neighbors", directed by Nicholas Stoller. The film stars Seth Rogen and Zack Efron and tells the story of a family who moves next to a fraternity house led by Efron's character. They initially get along but soon a prank war escalates between the two after the family is kept awake by loud parties. The reviewer criticizes the film for having a thin plot and one-dimensional characters whose actions become unrealistic as the pranks get more ridiculous. The script is also called out for relying too heavily on raunchy humor and slapstick gags over substance.The imposter

The documentary tells the story of Nicholas, a 13-year old boy who disappeared from his home in Texas in 1994 and was found 3.5 years later alive in a village in Spain. However, he looked different, had a strange accent, and the family did not seem to notice these changes. An investigator started asking questions and uncovered that the boy was actually a French man named Frederic Bourdin posing as Nicholas. The documentary uses techniques like reenactments, interviews, and archival footage to explore this strange case and leaves the audience with more questions than answers about what really happened to Nicholas.Yoga paris

Steven Spielberg is one of the most successful and influential directors in the film industry. He is known for classics like E.T. and Jurassic Park, as well as more recent films like Bridge of Spies. Some of his most notable works include Jaws (1975), which created suspense through techniques like minimal shark screen time set to a dramatic score, and Minority Report (2002), a neo-noir thriller about a future crime prediction system that questions the reliability of images and predictions. Spielberg continues to direct and produce popular films while also working in television. He has received many awards over his decades-long career and helped establish concepts like the blockbuster film.Rated bt power pointttttt

Gaines Tidwell surveyed rock samples near his uncle's house on a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides. The samples showed a variety of textures, sizes, lusters, grain sizes, hardnesses, and colors. However, determining the ages of the samples was difficult since they were surface samples that had likely been artificially placed. Tidwell identified five samples, including peridotite, limestone, slate, conglomerate, and an unknown rock that may be igneous. The area is subject to erosion from the surrounding water, with the shoreline having receded significantly in the last 10 years.

- Paramount Pictures is one of the largest film studios, founded in 1912 and producing hundreds of films that have grossed over $300 million. It produces all genres of films for different age groups.
- Walt Disney Pictures is owned by The Walt Disney Company and was founded in 1950, producing live-action films and animated classics like Snow White, Pinocchio, and Toy Story. It focuses on films for children and families.

Three production companies - Lionsgate, Lee Daniels Entertainment, and Smokewood Entertainment Group - worked together to produce the film Precious based on the novel Push by Sapphire. Precious was distributed in the UK by Icon Film Distribution. In its opening weekend, Precious grossed $13 million in the US box office, though it was outsold by A Christmas Carol which grossed $30 million that same weekend. While Precious performed well domestically, it struggled internationally due to cultural differences and lack of awareness of the source material.research

Each poster contains a base image made up of character shots, lists main actors, includes a billing block with production company credits and rating, announces the release date, displays the title, and establishes the tone, mise-en-scene, and color scheme to match the film. The target audiences are described as mainstreamers and explorers from socioeconomic classes A to D. The posters aim to entertain, allow escape, and foster social discussion.Evaluation q3

This document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a survival horror film. It suggests that a Hollywood studio could distribute it widely as a movie, as survival horror films have been very profitable at the box office recently. It also mentions the film could be adapted into video games and other media products to expand its audience. Specifically, the film discussed here would be an art house or independent film distributed straight to DVD by a company like Ghosthouse Underground that specializes in low-budget genre films. The director's vision and exploration of characters' dreams and ambitions makes it best suited to the art house model rather than a large-scale Hollywood production.Evaluation q3

This document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a survival horror film. It suggests that a Hollywood studio could distribute it since survival horror films like Resident Evil and Silent Hill have been very profitable. These films have become popular due to their concepts and ability to spawn sequels and spin-offs. The document also discusses distributing it as a low-budget art house film through a company like Ghosthouse Underground, which puts films straight to DVD. As a low-budget film focused more on characters and dreams than plots, an art house distribution would be suitable.Film studies christmas work EMMA BURNS

- 7. All these films are being released during the festive holiday of Christmas. As the children are off school they will most probably want to go to the cinema and therefore distributors bring out films during these times thinking that it will make them more popular and making a lot of them into 3D films increases the chance of them receiving more money as it costs more to view films in 3D.?What do all these films have in common? Why are they being released at this time?
