Media Audiences & Products Final Part 2: Writing Reviews

I would like you, in order to tick off the final criteria about audience response in the Audiences/Products unit, to write a detailed review of one of the products you've looked at. This review should be at minimum 200 words long. Do this in the following way.

1. Add a section to your post with the title 'Audience Response: Reviews'.

2. Under this heading get the title of one of the products you're looking at in and the year it came out in brackets.

3. Under the title of the product, put who directed/developed it and who distributed it in brackets. So, for instance

Goodfellas (1990)
Directed by Martin Scorcese
(Warner Brothers) 

or

Grand Theft Auto Advance (2004) 
Developed by Digital Eclipse 
(Rockstar Games) 

4. Then under these details give the product a mark out of 5 according to how good/bad you think it is.

5. Paragraph 1 - set the scene of the film/game, tell me NOT THE WHOLE PLOT but just the scene/world in which the film is set and a hint as to the story and genre. Make sure that anyone reading this first paragraph understands what the film/game is about and what genre of game/film it is.

6. Paragraph 2 - Tell me the GOOD elements of the film/game. What works? (casting, direction, soundtrack, gameplay, level design, special fx etc)

7. Paragraph 3 - Tell me what could have been improved.

8. Close the review with a final line summing up your opinions of the film/game. Check your wordcount. If it's not 200, you need to write more detail about the elements that work/don't work.

You are now in a position to publish your massive post and let me check it. Check over your post, publish it, then view your blog and send me a link to nkulkarni@coventrycollege.ac.uk with a subject line that tells me who you are and what you're sending me. (The link you send me should end 'blogspot.com' NOT 'blogger.com.)
