In our last media class, we each read a movie review and annotated it using Diigo to experiment with Diigo and identify possible structure for movie reviews we will do in the future.
I read "'Brave,' Pixar's New Animated Film" by Manohla Dargis, published on NYTimes.com. The review had a paragraph of introduction with a bit of opinion before it quickly tied in a plot summary. The summary smoothly went into an analysis of the animation (which would also be the point of analysis of acting, costuming, and set in other movies) and then back to a little plot to wrap up with the theme. The review was peppered with jokes, creating a playful tone to fit the playful movie.
I think that our quarterly movie review should be very open to creativity. There should be a list of maybe 4 or 5 essential questions that we must touch on, including the 3 aspects of film, and then a following list of 6 to 7 questions that we should pick a couple from to answer. It would be fantabulous to have complete creativity on how we must answer these questions.
