Structure of a Film Review

I found this on BBC Bitesize as a guide of structuring my film review. I found that it worked well as a key to organising my piece of writing.

1.    Introduction: this gives an overview of who is in the film and what it's about. It also sums up the reviewer's conclusion about the film (so readers can form an opinion without reading the whole of the review)

2.    Paragraph 2: the reviewer then describes the plot and the action, while informing the reader which actor plays which role.

3.    Paragraph 3: the reviewer then analyses the film, talking about the director and then the actors, looking at good things as well as bad things.

4.    Finally: the review informs the reader when the film is out (and sometimes, in a local review, where it can be seen).
