Film reviews
The purpose of a review is to tell the reader more about the film and give your opinion on it, so they can decide whether they want to see it or not. So, a review should not give away the end of the film, and should include more than just a plot summary, for example: To gain the Level 2 Achievement Standard, your review should be about 500 words long. You are being marked on four areas - developing and supporting your **ideas**; your **writing style**; using paragraphs and **structuring** your ideas clearly; and **conventions** (spelling, grammar, punctuation, capital letters, etc).
 * Quotes and details from the film to support your ideas
 * A comparison with other films (on a similar topic, starring the same actor, or by the same director)
 * Names of people involved - writers, actors, director
 * An overall recommendation/rating
