Film Review Study

Feeder 3.1

The task of this assignment is as follows:

1) To become familiar with the critical discourses surrounding the your film for this unit;
2) To become familiar with the methods and techniques of film reviewing.

By this Monday, you and your partner will post to the blog an annotated bibliography of six reviews of your film for this unit. These reviews should be culled from reputable publications (not the first blog that pops up on Google), and should represent a balanced diversity of opinions, film reviewing techniques, and sources. Only one of your reviews may come from an online-only journal.

Like the annotated bibliographies you produced for Unit 1, your entries for this assignment consist of a paragraph-long summary of the major argument and evidence used in the review. In addition, be sure to note what methods or techniques the reviewer uses to critique the film.

Rather than using Google to find your sources, please use UNC's Film Studies subject guide. The subject guide (which you may remember from Unit 1) will direct you towards many resources and databases geared specifically towards film:

Of the listed in this guide, I particularly recommend Film and Television Literature Index and Film Index International.
