When writing about film, it is to analyze and not summarize. As you analyze, break the movie parts down and discuss each parts individually to capture the main points of those scenes. Focus on the topic and write good thesis statement, it is also important to familiarize yourself with the key terms involved in filming. Also when analyzing and writing your paper, show that you understand the history of the film. Every film has originated from a historical event; it’s reason for why, how, and when it was made.
Furthermore, when you view the movie, it is smart to make some annotations. Do not write you paper as a review. You do not want to retell the story to someone who has already seen it. They want to know your evaluation of the movie. You don’t have to limit the film discussion. You are basically a movie critic because you are either criticizing or providing your critical thinking. Post what the director is trying to do, not just about the camera angles and lights and directions of the shadow.
Don’t forget to cite your sources that are used. Originally most film critics will cite their sources using the citation method of the MLA (Modern Language Association). Maintain the rightful credit to its sources.
