Film Review

Whilst researching the different types of reviews written about films, I found a number of conventions in common. The fact that they are often given star ratings or numerical ratings, usually out of 5. This means that the reader can see immediately if a film has a good review eg. 4 out of 5, or a poor review eg. 1 out of 5. Also, I found that a review can be shortened or simplified or extended and detailed. Some websites for magazines offer long and short versions. Mine will be in the middle, as it's a short film, it won't be very long anyway. But it will offer critical views, information about the film and a verdict, whilst catering to a magazine's specifications of a good film review.
