1. Include the following information in your review: 
FEATURE FILMS: title (underlined or italicized) and author of the script, director, actors and the roles they play, major designers (i.e. lighting, costumes, scenery), producer, and date. If viewed on TV, include TV network and channel and date viewed.
DOCUMENTARY FILMS: title (underlined or italicized) and author of the script, director, narrator, producer and date. If viewed on TV, include TV network and channel and date viewed.
TELEVISION PROGRAM: title (underlined or italicized) and author of specific program, director, narrator, producer, date produced, title of series (if applicable -- underlined or italicized), TV network and channel and date viewed.

 2. While you may wish to include a brief synopsis of a feature film, do not make it longer than a paragraph. Your emphasis should not be on plot summary.  Documentary films warrant more summary, since the focus is on information.

3. For a Florida Project film review, focus on aspects that enhance your understanding of the people you are studying -- either their experience in Florida or aspects of their culture that you have learned from the film.

4. For other film or television reviews, focus on what you have learned from the program and how it enhances your understanding of  course material and objectives.

 5. Be subjective in your analysis, but be sure to back up your opinions with specific objective illustrations and details.

 6. Read film reviews in the New Yorker, New York magazine, the Village Voice, the New York Times, Time, Newsweek, and local publications --begin to look at reviewers' styles and emphases and to judge how well the reviewer has succeeded in communicating his/her impressions of the film. 

7. Use MLA documentation style for any research.
