Hi Filipe!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget that you need to support your own ideas by using quotes from other film critics; so for example, when you talk about the 10 minute takes, you could have used a quote from the Guardian article that you have looked at, like this -
He also have takes for periods of up to 10 minutes roll length, and to hide the cuts, the camera "had to duck behind an actor's back, or a piece of furniture, to "invisible" cut from one piece of film to the next. (Hutchinson, 2012)
You need to have at least 3 quotes per review...
Looking froward to reading your next review :)
