Guidelines for Taking Notes on Narrative Films
(from a handout by Patricia White and Sharon Ullman)
You MUST take notes to refer to the film, but you need to be selective or you will miss it.
Watching the films a second time is highly recommended. See also Timothy Corrigan, A Short
Guide to Writing About Film.
Head your sheet with title, director, year, and note main character names and the names of the
actors who play them.
You may want to divide your sheet into vertical columns and reserve one for distinctive stylistic
elements—framing (sketches help) lighting effects or sound/music, cutting or décor,
arrangements of figures—and one for noting narrative events and dialogue.
Narrative films divide rather easily into segments unified by time, place, action, characters.
These segments are often divided by a fade or a dissolve. Do a running “segmentation or
narrative breakdown of the film as you watch, numbering the major narrative units.
Pay close attention to the opening and closing scenes. How does the film establish its “story
world” or diegesis? How does it bring about closure?
What characterizes the film’s lighting, mise-en-scene (what’s in the shot), use of music, acting,
cutting, framing, camera movement? Are these codes subordinate to the story or do they call
attention to themselves? Use symbols and abbreviations to note framing, direction of character
or camera movement.
Does the film use voice-over? Is it authoritative?
Does the film make extensive use of point-of-view shots to maintain our identification with a
particular character?
Is the narrative linear or temporally complex? Character driven?
Does the film belong to a recognizable genre? What iconography, settings, themes, tell you so?
What affective (emotional) response does the film produce—pleasure, terror, humor? When and
how?

WRT 205 Film Review Mini Assignment
Directions:
You will write a ½-page film review.
Use the format for essays found in the syllabus.
Include several of the different components listed in the rubric under Structure, including
the ones you find most important, and do them well. Most importantly, try to capture the feel
of the genre of film reviews in your tone and your content, so that you can understand the
differences between 1) a personal response/film “diary,” 2) a film review, and 3) an
analytical film essay.
Remember that this a movie review not an academic essay.
Category
Criteria for evaluation
Structure
Contains all of the following important elements:
Evaluation (key): answers the big question: should the reader see it?
Gives a rating (how many stars?)
Describes the film (plot summary) without giving away key parts of the film to readers who have not
watched the film yet (no spoilers or details about later scenes)
Includes major characters, actors and director (spelled correctly)
Contains some discussion of film form at a broad, general level
Sample scene: briefly recounts one or more scenes from the film to show readers what typical scenes from
the film will be like
Puts film in context: provide basic historical background (time, place, etc.); identify the genre (romantic
comedy, thriller, western, etc.)
Makes at least one comparison (think about similar movies/other Spielberg films/how the film fits its genre)
General assessment of the overall quality of the description and evaluation
Provides clear reasons for the reviewer’s evaluation
Raises both good points and bad points about the movie
Discussion of film form is interesting and meaningful
Usefulness and relevance of the information provided
All aspects of the review make sense/work together in a clear, logical way

Content
Voice/Style
Correctness
Picking the right voice/tone for a movie review:
A formal, serious tone: authoritative, knowing but not too technical (your writing needs to be accessible to
regular filmgoers; explain your vocabulary) and also critical (willing to make a judgment; presenting oneself
as an expert)
A more advising and judging tone, instead of an academic or analytical tone—you are asking “Is the film
good or bad?” and “Should you see it?” instead of “How does it work?” or “What is its meaning?”
Avoid “they” “you” “I” and “in my opinion.” [Say, “This movie deserves two stars,” instead of “I give this
movie five stars.” The whole point is to give your expert opinion, so write opinions without saying “I think”
“In my opinion”]
Focus on the potential viewer, not you and your experience of the movie (not a diary of your viewing
experience but what your reader should expect)
Use bold, vibrant descriptive language appropriate for reviews: “dull, plodding, slow, masterpiece,
unnecessary, brilliantly, faults, inspiring, vividly, effective, eye-opening, flawed, touching, thunderous, heartpounding” [not bland or vague words like “nice, interesting, good, bad”]
Avoid discussing accuracy or true-ness: say “convincing” or “realistic” [as a film reviewer, you care whether
it looks/seems true, not whether it is true—that’s for historians to decide elsewhere]
Proper punctuation for any quoted dialogue; italicize names of films
Clarity / No patterns of error in narration—grammatically correct
Watch out especially for three areas of correctness:
1. Use present tense for literature/film: “Spielberg shows” “Schindler cries” “The camera zooms in” [use
past tense only for actual history]
2. Avoid apostrophe errors: Nazis is the plural of Nazi, not Nazi’s
3. Capitalize proper nouns like “Jews” and “the Holocaust”
