Question

MEDAL AND FAN!
For your assessment, you will read the opinions of movie critics and record your observations on the content, style, and tone of their critiques.

(Please note that you do not need to watch a film for this assignment; you only need to collect two reviews on a film.)

Choose one of the following films:
The Bride of Frankenstein
Tales from the Crypt (1972 film)
Jaws
Psycho (1960)
Rear Window
The Sixth Sense
Secret Window
If you have an alternate film on which you would like to collect reviews, please consult your instructor for approval.

Answer 1

Locate two film critiques on the film you have chosen. Consider beginning your search by reading renowned film critic Roger Ebert's Review, at suntimes.com, on your selected film.
Complete the Critique Observation Organizer. You may copy and paste this information into a document, print and fill in by hand, or make your own organizer with the same criteria.

Answer 28

suntimes.com @Luigi0210

Answer 29

http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-jaws-1975 Here you go. Try to do it and let us know what you need help with
This is the Roger Ebert's Review

Answer 30

is the title of that your going to need a bigger boat? @mary.rojas

Answer 31

I think a rhetorical analysis would work on this, just look for the 4 and write something on those.

Answer 32

how do i provide the basic outline? is that like the summery?

Answer 33

Think it was just an opening to the intro, a quote from the movie

But it is either that or, simply just, Jaws

Answer 34

what is a basic outline? @InExileWeTrust

Answer 35

@Whitemonsterbunny17 ^

Answer 36

A basic outline?
Yeah, I'm thinking they're meaning just a basic summary.
Do you have anything written so far?

Answer 37

no lol im confused on the basic outline becaus after the basic outline the next question says write a summery of the critic in one sentance

Answer 38

Okay, so what it means by basic outline is to make a detailed summary (which could be several paragraphs long).

Then for the summary, it wants you to put all the main points in one sentence.

Answer 39

Maybe ...
Outline=Main points of whole article/review (pros and cons viewed,interesting points found etc)
Summary=1 sentence of only his final final argument about the movie (maybe he says like if it is good or not etc)

Hope that helps a little

Basically what @Whitemonsterbunny17 said :)

Answer 40

I think the basic outline is how you would write the critique. Basically outline the critic's critique. Example: Intro, plot analysis, quotes, critique, and summary.

Answer 41

The summary could be the final statement and argument made by the critic basically what mary.rojas says.

Answer 42

ok and what does it mean when it says choose specific language from the review that helps you understand the film? @InExileWeTrust @mary.rojas

Answer 43

Choose a specific writing style the critic uses to help you decide his tone on the film. Was he being sarcastic in the critique? Was he joking around?

Answer 44

Explain how those quotations create the author's tone you hear as you read the critique.

Answer 45

Answer 46

*presses finger on nose and points at you* Right you are!

Answer 47

Review #1
1. Rogert Ebert
2. You’re going to need a bigger boat.
3. The basic outline is that the critic thinks the shark is seen to little. He was surprised about the little amount of times he saw the shark. The shark is seen more for its actions then its flesh. Steven Spielberg’s only accept the offer if the shark wasn’t seen for the first hour. Jaws did in fact inspire hundreds of summer thrilllers.
4. The shark is more talked about then seen, He is surprised of how little the shark is seen at all.
5. The way Ebert wrote his critic made me understand that he was being serious and was surprised on how little the shark was shown since the movie is called Jaws.
6. The quotations explain how Ebert feels and that Spielberg shouldn’t have kept the shark hidden for so long because the shark is hidden for half of the movie.

Answer 48

does that look good can you help me on what i need to fix?

Answer 49

@InExileWeTrust

Answer 50

Sure thing! Give me some time to look over your work and I will see what I can do.

Answer 51

I think number four would be stronger if you can provide some quotes or answer choices that support your claim.

Answer 52

4. The shark is more talked about then seen, He is surprised of how little the shark is seen at all. “Right after the first brief appearance of the man-eater in "Jaws." It's not simply a splendid line of dialogue, it's an example of Steven Spielberg's strategy all through the film, where the shark is more talked about than seen.” @InExileWeTrust

Answer 53

Better! Try to support your statements on the other questions you answered. It will validate your claims. Once you do that, I am sure you will be good to go!

Answer 54

kkkkk
