Through Your Child’s Eyes video review https://youtu.be/FV69iJuXwP4
Here’s how to organize your video/film review:
Introduction (title, release date, background information)
Summary of the video/film
Opinion (supported with examples and facts from the video/film)
Conclusion (announcing whether the filmmaker was successful in his/her purpose, re-state your evidence, explain how the video/film was helpful for providing a deeper understanding of a course topic) INCLUDE 3 THINGS YOU LEARNED OR TOOK AWAY? FROM THE FILM(S)
Video/Film Review Elements
The title of the film/documentary? just because your headline features the name of the video/film it doesnt mean you should skip mentioning it in the text. Always name the feature youve watched in the introductory paragraph. This may seem like a stupid thing to point out, but its one of the most common mistakes that students make.
Summary? the whole point of the review is to summarize the video/film for people who havent watched it yet. To make this as effective as possible, always assume that your professor hasnt seen it either (as mentioned above). Why is this important? You wont leave out some important details thinking he/she watched it already so they wont bother. As a reviewer, your job is to explain what happened in the video/film and express whether the filmmaker failed or succeeded. Again, saying you liked or disliked it isnt a viable comment. Your opinion has to be supported by specific reasons and examples from the feature itself
Significance to the class? How does the content of the video/film fit into your course topic? Including 3 things you learned while viewing.
