Film Review - Content


The 1st film review was from The Guardian:http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2010/may/27/4-3-2-1-film-review

  • The use of language in this review demonstrates a good balance of formal as well as informal language as they are trying to reach a wider audience.
  • The writer uses words such as 'quirky' and 'steamy' which are quite informal trying to reach their target audience which is probably 16-21 yr olds.
  • In the review they tend to focus on the director 'Noel Clarke' who also stars in the movie as he is part of the unique selling point.
The 2nd review was from 'Total Film':
  • The review contains quite informal language which is quite punchy and to the point such as 'lippy' and 'sass-bomb' which is aimed at the target audience of 16-21 yr olds.
  • The reviewer tends to focus on the actors mostly in the content of this review as it comments on the four leading ladies and also the rapper 'eve'. who are also part of the USP.
The 3rd film review is from 'Empire Magazine':
  • As the magazine is already highly credible for their film reviews, the use of wording was quite formal but descriptive due to the technical jargon being use as 'neon-highlighted' and 'titillation' which enforces that they know what they are talking about.
  • The reviewer also tends to comment on the director and actor 'Noel Clarke' as he is part of the USP of the film.
  • They also comment on well knowns actors and celebrities that either helped produce the film or made cameos in the film which added to their credibility as reviewers and helped the ratings for the film.
