A short but productive week towards Project Brief 2! I was unable to attend the Q&A session on Wednesday afternoon due to babysitting, but I personally had a great quick, but effective session on Monday. We again prepared a draft of either a review, or our critical profile to swap around the class and get feedback on. I really like this technique because it not only guides you to how to create a better piece, but you are able to look at structure and language of others. I find this really important and useful specifically for my work as sometimes I feel I get quite lost in vocabulary to the point where my language doesn’t quite meet the reference of what I am saying. I am all for expanding my vocabulary, but for this studio I think the reviews that are most compelling are ones whom uses metaphorical language towards the topic of the review from films to a festival.

From the article I read about a film it gave me guidance about how I like my film reviews to be structured in saying, not giving to much of the plot away. Sometimes I get really lost in this. I like to think, if i was reading this what would I want to see? I would like to see all aspects, from the cast to cinematography and music. At this stage in the course this is what I feel is appropriate for my style of writing about films, but who knows that could change!

I am reasonably happy with the outcome of my critical profile, and I tried to take a different aspect for the draft of my review. Writing about the most testosterone built film from a females perspective- hopefully will work the way I intend it to
