  • Film Review How to Write a Film Review
    Film Review A movie review is written with the basic goal of informing the readers about the movie and its concept. While one can express your opinions in a movie review about a film or a documentary, one should do so with a creative and unbiased approach. To a great extent, it depends on the review whether the reader would want to go and see the movie. Film review should present an in-depth analysis so that it helps the readers to form an honest opinion and whether they would like it and want to see it. The steps to organize your film review: Introduction: Include the name of the movie/documentary, its release date, and background information. Summary: Provide a brief overview of the story. Analysis of the events: Analyze the plot and important events like action, climax. Creative elements: Describe the characters, dialogues, camera work, costumes, use of colors, genre, tone, symbols, or anything that adds to or misses from the overall story. Opinion: Support your opinion with facts and examples from the story Conclusion: Announce whether the filmmaker succeeded in his/her goal, paraphrase your evidence. Also, explain how the film helped in developing a deeper understanding of the subject/issue. How to write a film review 1.If circumstances permit, view the film more than once. It’s easy to miss key elements, or even the whole point, after just a single viewing. 2. Express your opinion of the film, but support your criticism. If you are offended or disappointed or embarrassed, provide a valid reason, even if you think it is obvious.

    Playing by new rules India's Media & Entertainment sector reboots in 2020 March 2021 Images credit: Ramji Ravi Conceptual Pictures Worldwide Pvt Ltd./ Adobebstock For stock images & footage license : www.imagefootage.com We played by new rules. And we played to win. 2020 was a challenging year for India. And for sports as well. We all learnt to live differently: wearing a mask, maintaining a distance of six feet, sanitising frequently, boosting our immunity. Playing a team sport, we lived in secure bio-bubbles and lived through quarantines. The silence in the stadiums was the worst thing one could hear. When the going got tough in Australia, it was important to stay positive and continue to play our brand of cricket and let each individual express themselves. Situations were tough but heroes emerged when the time demanded. We played to win and did not let the fear of losing overpower us. Ajinkya Rahane The Indian Media & Entertainment industry kept providing news, information and entertainment content to Indians when they most needed it without letting fear affect them. The virus could not take away the record viewership of IPL Season 13 nor the growing popularity of esports. It could not stop our sportspersons from making a mark in tennis, hockey, wrestling, boxing, and several other sports. They all reminded us that it is important to play the game in the right spirit without worrying about the consequences. I'm happy that we got an opportunity to play during these tough times and bring happiness to millions of viewers watching the sport.
