1.3- Review of Nirag's Videos

Nirag's music videos are very touching and inspiring, as most of the music videos he produced are to do with him or someones he loves have been through.

All his videos are well thought of as he puts allot of work into them, i think he is very talented but i fell he repeats what he has worked with, it distracts the audience making them board of watching the same thing, he need to think of new ideas which i think will get him far.

Overall the videos i have watch are fantastic and well produced and directed.

1.3.1b Other reviews

Student Book

pp 34–43

The following statements are taken from other learners’ reviews. Read them and answer the questions in the spaces provided.

1 ‘The film was too long and it was boring.’

n What should the reviewer go on to write?

Some scenes are just too long and unimportant which makes the scenes wears off, so the movie becomes really boring.

2 ‘I don’t know what I thought of this book but my friend thought it was really interesting.’

n Why is this not a good thing to say in a review?

The quote is not a good thing to say in a review because you have to state your opinion not your friends, because you don’t know why the book is not interesting.

3. ‘For a children’s play there was not a lot of action. The bit with the lion was good but it got boring from then on.’

n Why might this not be helpful to an audience?

This is not helpful to the audience because as quoted 'The bit with the lion was good but it got boring...' the audience have no idea who the lion is so the reviewer has to explain and also in detail.

4. How could the reviewer make it more useful?

The reviewer could make it more useful if they explained the plot and who the lion is. By just putting ‘the bit with the lion was good but it got boring...’ is very boring and is not useful to audience at all.

1.3.1a Developing opinions

  • Extension activity

    · From one of the sources you have been looking at, find a review of something that you yourself have experienced: a film, television programme, game, book etc.

    · Read the review carefully and analyse it as above, identifying how the reviewer felt about the subject of the review.

    · Do you agree with the reviewer’s opinion?

    · If so, why? If not, why not? What do you think? Record your thoughts below.


    I went to the cinema to watch Step Up 3D, i found a review on the newspaper Telegraph, i certainly agree with the reviewer as in the telegraph is states ' it could be the dumbest thing all year that I have to admit enjoying. ', i agree with this quote as i really did enjoy the film as it was interesting, fun to watch and amazing which the 3D effects had a really good effect to it, some bits were a bit boning i must say but what movies doesn’t? I would defiantly watch it again and recommend it.

  • 'It’s all about the moves, and I count the film’s moronic perkiness as a plus' i also agree with this quote, some people may not like the film because it is more practical, but it is a dance film and the moves is what it is all about.
