Recce Report

This is the establishing shot of our film. This is the first shot seen in our film and is used to set the location of our genre which is in East London and the genre is thriller/action. This also suggetss that the main character in our film is an ordinary college boy as he is seen waking up here










This location is ideal for many reasons. firstly, it is a good place to gain camera angle diversity and also it is a great place in terms of location to fit the conventions that out british thriller/action film is trying to adhere to. It is near the phone box which is a significant prop for our film as the tension builds up prior to him answering the phone. Therefore, this loctaion is ideal for this.








This is the college which the student attends. It is important to show this in the film because the audience can recognise that he is a student. This is also where the character finds out what the CD is about. 









This is a typical London phonebox, located in a local, residential area. This adds mystery to the film as when the phone rings, everything else is silent and the main focus in on the phone box. It is in an open area and therefore, many camera shots/ angles can be obtained from this.










This is a classroom which is essential to be able to fit the generic representation of a college student. This location is ideal in terms of  lighting and the way which the classroom is layed out which is quite spacious.













This is the dark room, this room can be used to film darker scenes as the room can be made pitch black by closing the blinds and turning off all the light also if needed spotlights can be turned on to give the room abit of light. This is ideal for the kidnap scene as it represents the dark and evil of the villains.

Film Magazine Reviews - Panic Room (Joe Gilbert)

Here are 3 different reviews of the film 'Panic Room' all within different types of mass media




  1. Total Film: Reviewed by 'Total Film' (May 3rd 2002) 
  2. BBC Films: Reviewed by Neil Smith (May 2nd 2002)
  3. The Chicago Sun Times: Reviewed by 'Roger Ebert (March 29th 2002)




Total Film Review
This review seems to be talking directly at the audience, and strait away the writer uses imperatives such as 'Do not' to address certain 'rules' to the reader. It is clear the the review is written is second person as throughout , the writer uses words like 'you' and 'we'. At first the review seems to be more formal, due to the use of these imperatives, and also through the constant use of strong adjectives, for example, 'bruising masterpiece' and 'another brainscorcher'. However there is also a sense to the review being informal as the writer also asks the reader rhetorical questions, he write 'wouldn't you if you knew it contained a safe, and inside that safe was several million dollars?'. The use of rhetorical questions contradicts the use of imperatives as he goes from command the reader, to asking them a question. The sense of the review being informal continues as the writes uses 'slang' words as he refers to Forest Whitaker as being a 'baddie', and also calls Jared Leto a 'crackhead'


The writer seems to use a lot of content as he switches from talking about the actors, the plot of the story to then talking about the director, the use of camera, and the location. He starts off with describing the plot of the story to the reader, however he then just swaps and mentions how the actors are 'faultless'. He mentions Kristen Stewart, who he calls the 'newcomer', and says how she isn't like other cine-kids, he then refers to her as being 'real'. He then again just changes and mention the director by saying 'this is fincher's movie', literally strait after he says that, he mentions the 'coffee pot shot' which he defines as being 'absolutely mindblowing' He asks the views a rhetorical question when mentioning the use of location, he says 'how do you conjure something cinematic out of a single location'. As you can see this writer has truly packed this review with a large variety of content



Different to the review by Total Film, this review by Roger Ebert is written in first person, as constantly throughout he uses the word 'I'. However even though this review is him talking to himself directly we can strait away see that this review tends to be a more formal review of this film by his use of vocabulary, he uses words like 'scoffing' and 'plausibility. He also uses similes as he compares the movie to a game of chess, as he says 'both sides know the rules' but the 'winner will simply be the better strategist. Throughout this review he always keep comparing the film to a game of chess,this could be because it is a hobby that maybe his readers are interested in, so therefore it attracts their attention more. As the review progress, he also keeps using there more formal words such as 'vertiginous' and 'intriguing'.

However unlike the review by total film, Ebert doesn't go in to the content of the film in as depth how ever he does mention quite a lot. He clearly states that the movie is directed my 'David Fincher', and then further on he simultaneously talks about the actors and their involvement in the plot. Similarly to the Total Film review he mentions the use of camera, which by his description of it seems to be the 'coffee pot shot' that Total Films was referring to, because of this he calls Fincher a 'visual virtuoso' and a 'master of psychological gamesmanship'. Ebert also mentions a little bit of the background of the film as he says 'Nicole Kidman' was originally suppose to play the role of Meg, however despite this he calls Jodie Foster's performance 'spellbinding'. Throughout this review, the writer didn't have one negative comment to say about the film.    




BBC Films
Unlike the other two reviews, this review is written is third person, so its like the writer is reading a story to the reader. The use of language used in this review is much more informal and is probably aimed more at a general reader, where as the reviews by Total Film and Ebert are academic and formal. The writer starts by trying to say a joke, 'They should call it a Don't Panic Room' this clearly shows it is informal. The writer also uses some sense of writing in second person when he asks a rhetorical question, 'But what happens when the very thing the intruders want is in there with you?'. Another reason why it is informal is by the use of vocabulary, the writer uses more general words such as 'slick' and 'criminals'.


The writer makes it clear that David Fincher is the director of this film as he says 'David Finchers's slick new thriller'. However in this review the writer doesn't really mention the actors, except when, like Ebert he brings up the fact that Foster took over the role of Meg from Nicole Kidman. There is some mention of the use of location as he says 'A journeyman director might feel limited by a film where all the action takes place in a single house'. There is also mention to the use of camera as he writes that Fincher takes up the challenge with 'dazzling visual flair'. Like the other writers, Smith also talks about Finchers amazing camera use as it glides through walls and also prowls upstairs, this is talking about the 'coffe pot shot' that both writers also mention in there reviews.

Film Magazine Reviews - Stormbreaker - Mohammed




This review was found on the IMDB ( Internet Movie Database ) , by Total film. The writer is
not stated in this particular review. The review was published on the 21st of July 2006, which is
on the same date as the films actual release. The link to the website is above with a screenshot
of the review.

The article is obviously written by an older person focusing on young teenagers as he adresses
the reader as  ' kids '. Yet some could say this could be adressed to yong kids, yet this is
contradicted by the use of language. The writer uses a lot of humor in the writing for example
when he writes that "There’s a lot to consider: Rider has the looks, but Potter bests him on
brains – well, at least when Hermione is around". One of the Harry Potter series, another film
released around the same time quite evidently is compared to Stormbreaker. If not the film,
then the two protagonists anyway. It seems the writers focuses on the teenage buzz going
around at the time. However , he does seem a little biasd towards Alex Pettyfer (Alex Rider)
ahead of Danielle Radcliffe (Harry Potter) when he compares the acting as "Radcliffe puts his
gawky little heart and soul into it" whereas about Alex he says "Pettyfer’s poise is sturdier".
In this review, the writer focuses mainly on the acting of the character rather than the
narratives.

In terms of layout, the review looks more or less like a newspaper article in some sence as the
title is above, with the date below. However the article is not written in columns so it is evident
that it is an internet based article. The logo of a 3 star rating is clearly visible at the top as they
have rated the film with 3 stars. That is average. I would say the font is very simple and boring
yet this is in contrast to the humorous language used in the article. There are even links to
social networking sites on the right hand side, probably for a teenage audience.





This review was found as a branching link from the IMDB website. The link leads to the Sky Movies HD website, and there are no evident dates of publication.

Like the previous article, this article also has a humorous sense to it e.g when the writer describes Alex Rider as ' Its a James Bond with bum fluff'. There is also evidence that this is a very finely written review as some of the vocabulary is concise. The sentence structure is that they are short yet contain a lot of words which may be hard to understand. For example , ' His escapades are equally outlandish '. The writer has packed formal English with colloquial terms as well, e.g 'Any family wheez '. 

In this review the writer focuses on the storyline of the film and basically tells the story throughout the review. Although the writer does compare to real life issues. The writer also makes fun out of former prime minister, Tony Blair so there is probably politics involved.

Layout is quite evident on this review. The writing is white and the background is different shades of blue. The writing is not fully visible and requires a lot of scrolling where it doesn't stand out at all. For this reason I believe the designing is poor.  There are tabs at the top of the review linking to other functions of the website yet no images relating to the review.

There are also no columns on the review the paragraphs are very short, mostly 2 lines each. Again the font and writing is quite boring. In this review the film has also been given a 3 star rating and this is visible at the top of the review.





This final article is from the UK SCREEN website, another branching website from the IMDB. It was written and published by Jason Korsner on the 23rd of July 2006.

The language in this article is quite simple e.g ' Fourteen year old Alex comes home to find his boring uncle Ian has been killed'. This is continued throughout the whole review more or less there is never much concise vocabulary and it is probably written for a much younger audience. The writer uses rhetorical questions as sub-heading such as ' What's it like' or 'Who is it by' and then answers those questions very quickly. This shows the reader that it is not directly to them, rather already pre-answered. The piece of writing is very descriptive too as the writer uses adjectives like ' audacious , loud and proud ' to describe the film.

The review talks more about the elements of the film including the gadgets e.g the motorbikes , quad bikes, helicopters and other things which make the film exciting. In comparison to the other reviews, all talk mostly about the elements and content of the film and also focus on the storyline rather than the narrative.

Regarding the layout, this review is by far the simplest. It is black writing on a white background and couldn't get any more boring.  This review gives the film 2 and a half stars which is lower than the other two yet focuses more on the film and gives more detail. It even includes the cast.
I think it is the most sophisticated and useful review out of the 3.

Film Magazine Reviews - Phone booth - Kieran Brown

Empire Film Review

http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/reviewcomplete.asp?DVDID=9391
The name of the film is stated at the top of the page and beneath this is the rating system shown out of 5 stars, which this film has 4 stars out of 5.

The language used is descriptive and written in a foral manner. As shown in the review they use very descriptive 'But that was before two men decided to take fatal pot shots at innocent American citizens, and the country froze in fear of 'The Washington Sniper'. This will give the reader an insight of the film before they have see it and gives them an imaginative visual context of the narrative. The review also describes the narrative ad explains how the main character is show in the film 'At first we're on the side of 'the caller' because we've seen what a manipulative asshole Stu is. Okay, the confessions he's forced to make will ruin his career, but he is only reaping what he has sown' This quote explains a sense of sides which can be linked to the generic binary opposites of an action film of good vs evil. The review also gives a justification for the reason why the directors chose this plot for the film as shown 'Writer Larry Cohen and director Joel Schumacher surely thought that the only real-life raw nerves they'd touch with this tense but funny thriller would belong to the sleazebag publicists upon whom the main character is based'. The review also references the use of camera 'Visual breaks are provided by split screens that show either end of the phone conversations' but in the review it isnt explained in depth. The location in the film is explained as low budget but effective as shown 'The filmmakers' clever, low-budget scenario - one man trapped in a single location (in real time) by an unknown, gun-wielding adversary - suddenly became front page news'. Because the writer exaplains it as clever it gives the film a sense of good narrative.

BBCi Films Review



http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2003/02/25/phone_booth_2003_review.shtml
The name of the Film and the year of release are shown together at the top of the review as a main heading.

Above the film name and year of release is the reviewer's ratings and the site user ratings out of 5 stars and the reviewer's rating is 3 out 5 and the users gave the film 4 out of 5 stars.

This review seems to use informal writing throughout as it is reviewed to be shown to a mass audience and is meant to make the reader feel more inclusive. an example of the informal language being used is 'As the tagline would have it, Stu's "life is on the line".' This use of informal writing is effective as it is explaining the simplicity of the films tagline which gives away most of the story. The language is descriptive as the review explains the narrative throughout. The actors are described based on their behaviour which gives the audience an insight of the way their character will be. There is a reference to the camera use and the director and script writers as shown
'Schumacher stacks up the stylistic tricks, keeping his camera flighty, flicking round the static situation, feeding off the fear of the protagonist. Veteran journeyman scripter Larry Cohen, meanwhile, mostly avoids or undercuts clichés - creating dialogue a little too bespoke to be believable, but amusing and angry nonetheless.' This gives the a rough idea of the people involved behind the makings and will help them paint a visual imaginative picture of how the film should be based on the people involved. There is no reference towards where the location is in the film as it is only shot in one place but in the information at the bottom of the page along with the duration of the film is the place which it is set which it is set in the USA.

http://www.urbancinefile.com.au/home/view.asp?a=7402&s=Reviews
The review on this site is very simplistic but includes some informative language about the film. The review firstly summarises the plot of the film, giving some highly descriptive language which gives the audience a formal insight about what will happen in the film. The opening line shows this 'Stu (Colin Farrell) is a New York hustler publicist, married to Kelly (Radha Mitchell) but in hot pursuit of Manhattan waitress Pamela (Katie Holmes).' The language used is formal and informative and gives the audience a detailed description of the plot. The actors are described by their body language and behaviour. also in terms of their costumes as shwon 'as we meet and get to know a cocky, charming con man who wastes no time on people who are of no use to him. At first we meet him superficially – we watch him at work as he hustles clients on a mobile phone, handsome in his designer Italian suit and trendy raspberry shirt, walking confidently along his everyday stomping ground in Time Square. He arrogantly tosses orders to his young apprentice; he is rude, arrogant and brash. When he first enters the phone booth and makes the call to his fantasy girl Pamela, he takes off his wedding ring. We quickly get the picture. Then the phone rings and he just can’t help himself '. There is no main information about this review such as the rating system,location,use of camera and special effects but one may argue that this review is effective at informing the audience of a descriptive insight of the film and what will occur and also it's simplicity may be effective at giving the audience the information they want.

Film Magazine Reviews - Enemy of The State (Hassan Mudhir)



Empire Film Reviews


http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/reviewcomplete.asp?DVDID=5045

The film review for this film starts off with the film name and the age rating next to it in brackets. Beneath this is the star rating system used and for this film, it was given four stars. The use of language used in the film is very descriptive and analytical. As it says ‘Set in and around Washington DC over Christmas, it has plenty to offer visually (Scott's lens laps up the winter chill, the fairy lights and the large government buildings), and it is against this handsome backdrop that the action takes place’. This allows the audience to have a picture of what the film may be like if they haven’t seen it before. The type of language used also makes the audience sympathise with the main actor (Will Smith). For example it says, ‘The ultra-secret National Security Agency (nicknamed No Such Agency), which is behind all this, targets the innocent Dean: he's smeared, loses his job, and is booted out of his delightful home.’ This is significant to the review because it allows the audience to express their sympathy with the character and also engages them within the story. Towards the end of the review (in the last paragraph) the type of language the editor uses starts to become more informal. ‘David Marconi's script clunks a little in the establishing scenes, but once Jason Lee makes his discovery and declares, "Fuck a duck!” it relaxes no end. When the NSA supernerds utter that era-defining phrase, "Gentlemen, we are back on-line!” it's as if they are taking over the world, not just Washington. Great fun.’ The use of this language allows a wider variety of audiences to understand the film, especially a younger audience. The target audience for this film is mainly young people aged 19-26 in my view and the editor uses language in a way that this type of audience can come to terms with. One example of this is shown in the opening paragraph of the review where the editor says ‘But when Scott's camera happens upon a decent story and some really fine performers, as with Crimson Tide, the effect is like having your inside leg stroked in the dark for two hours. Enemy of the State is like that.’ In this case, the writer uses a simile to compare the movie to something else and this is a good writing technique. The element of the film which the reviewer tends to focus on is the setting of the film and how the director uses this as an advantage for the whole film. ‘Set in and around Washington DC over Christmas, it has plenty to offer visually (Scott's lens laps up the winter chill, the fairy lights and the large government buildings), and it is against this handsome backdrop that the action takes place.’ As the film is set in the heart of New York City, this is a excellent setting for a high-paced, action packed movie such as this one and the editor puts a lot of emphasis on this. Overall, I feel that this is a solid review for the film as the editor covers the main aspects which the audience will want to know.


Total Film Reviews
This film review also starts offf in the same manner; with the name of the film at the top, the rating of the film given by the review website and the release date of the film. The type of language used is very attractive and starts off in a wway that will make the reader want to continue to read on. It starts off by describing the film as ‘Brash, big and loud. And this instanly draws the attention o the audience. In the opening paragraphy, teh reviewer also state sthe main conventions taht you wouyld expect to see in an action film, ‘Buildings blow up, cars crash, men brawl, men bond.’ He then goes son to say ‘In other words, Scott and Bruckheimer are making movies for the 15-year-old boy in all of us. Got a problem with that?’ He uses a rhetorical question at the end and this is a tool people use in debate to avoid making an outright declaration, but at the same time still being able to make a point, and in this case the writer is trying to say that everyone one who watches these types of films has a 15-year-old boy inside them. In the second paragraph, the writer describes the plot of the film and in some instances he uses informal language. ‘The friend sprints off to his death and Dean goes home to his yuppie townhouse, never imagining that he's carrying a thingummybob of government-toppling proportions.’ This is done in order for the younger target audience to relate to the film and ultimately, they are used to seeing this type of language being used. The type of language used is predominantly descriptive and this is beneficial for the audience as they can have an in sight into what the film is going to be about. The writer also says that the director ‘delivers plenty of visual flair.’ He also compares some scenes of the film to other movies such as ‘Diva, The Conversation, Mission: Impossible and even The Truman Show.’ In the review, the writer mainly focuses on the actors and the narrative. ‘In Enemy Of The State, all these things happen to, and around, Washington DC lawyer Robert Dean, played (mostly straight) by Men In Black star Will Smith.’ In this case, the writer is reminding the reader what previous films Will Smith has appeared in and promotes the actor. The writer also says ‘Hackman and Smith spar like a pair of top heavyweights and Scott has enough experience to keep out of their way.’ The writer compares the way the two actors act in the film to ‘a pair of top heavyweights’. The writer also focuses on the narrative of the film and does this in a structured way in terms of how the film is being showed chronologically. The writer also addresses the message which the film sends out. He says that the film raises serious questions about privacy versus national security. This enables the audience to contemplate the other side of the movie and the message which it sends across to global audiences. Ultimately, this is a good review and gives the reader a general overview of how the film is like and this is supported by the fact that the writer focuses on the narrative of the film.  


The review on this website is very plain and basic but includes interesting sections about the film. The review starts off by summarising the plot of the film and it also includes some rhetorical questions, asking the audience ‘But who is Brill? A tough-talking stranger (Gabriel Byrne) who corners him in a lavatory? A pugnacious nerd (Gene Hackman) who threatens him with bodily harm? Or someone else?’ this attracts the attention of the audience and puts them in a position fir them to go and watch the film if they have not seen it already. The type of language that is used to communicate with the target audience is very straightforward and is done in a way for the audience to understand with ease. However, this point may be contradicted by the fact that the sentences that are used within the review are very long, therefore it makes it hard for the reader to digest as there are no breaks for the reader. The main element of the film which the writer tends to focus on is the actors once again. ‘Will Smith proves he can carry a film as a dramatic lead, joining the ranks of Wesley, Denzel, Samuel, Angela, et al. (It’s no longer sheer tokenism that puts black actors in top roles).’ In this case, the writer also compares Will Smith to other top black actors who dominate in the film industry. Also, as in the previous review, the writer inputs the message in which this film is trying to convey. ‘This film suggests – and demonstrates with its hypothetical story – that more surveillance is a bad and dangerous thing for you and me. So there is a moral/political issue to give the film ballast, while the private and personal stories gives it the zing to hook us.’    In general, this film review is very simple and uncomplicated and this is beneficial to the audience but on the other hand, one may look at this review and say that t doe snit go much into depth about other aspects of the film which the writer could have covered in his review.

Film Magazine Review Page (Three Different Films)



Empire Film Reviews: Lust, Caution
The use of images on the magazine page is fairly simple. There is only one image at the top of the page and fills half the page. The image used is shown to represent the genre of the film which is drama. The woman is lying on the man and they are making intense eye contact and this reinforces the title of the film and why they use ‘Lust’ but at the same time they use ‘Caution’ which may suggest that there may be a twist in the plot of the film. The columns are also organised in a simple way and this may relate to the modesty of the film. In total there are four columns used and is started off by a general summary of the film and main facts. The use of columns is very significant in a magazine review page as it makes the writing easy to read and flows succinctly. The style and size of fonts used are very typical of a magazine review. The title of the film is the in the biggest font on the page and this is done for obvious reasons and to let the audience know what the title of the film is. Underneath the title is a short sentence from the editor summarising what he thinks about the film in a short stretch. However at the bottom of the page is a sentence which is second largest in terms of font size. This is another comment from the editor of the page and this may be done to suggest the importance of the words used. Also there is an instep on the photo of the film which gives a few facts and is named ‘Look closer’. It talks about some few facts about the director of the film (Ang Lee) and is additional information given to the audience. The colour of the writing of the columns is ain black and this is the standard colour used in any magazine review page as it is the main information. There is a box at the beginning of the columns and the sub titles (such as: director, cast, etc.) are in yellow. This is done to differentiate different information and it makes it easy for the reader to consume and understand.  At the very top of the page it says ‘In Cinemas’ which lets the audience know that they can watch it. It also says that it received 9,000 reviews on empireonline.com. This gives the film critical acclaim and it enables the audience to come to terms with what other people think about the film. The method used to rate the film is using stars and this film has been given a 4 star rating which on the Empire film website means ‘excellent’. The star rating system allows the reader to judge how the film will be like and links in with the rest of the review page.



Total Film Reviews: Capote
In this film magazine review page, there is also only one image used to present the whole film. This is done to connote the overall simplicity of the film and allows the reader to judge the film form one picture, which may be difficult at times. Another reason why only one image is used is to tell the audience or try to portray what the genre of the film is which a biography/crime/drama. It can be judged that the film is a crime or drama by the way the man is dressed (in a suit) and the fact that he is holding a cigarette in a relaxed mood.  Also because he is at a restaurant and this setting is typical of a film of this genre. The columns are laid out in a straightforward manner. The columns are separated by dotted lines and it makes it easier for the reader to digest and this is common amongst Total Film Review pages. The style and fonts used on the page are relatively simple. Next to the title of the film is the age rating which is in red. Beneath the title is a little caption added by the editor saying ‘Art and death meet in superb biopic…’ This slows the reader to have an insight of what the film might be about. Underneath this is the release date of the film and is in a blue box. This is done to make it bold and standout as the release date is a vital element of a new film as it informs the audience when it is coming out in the cinemas. The summary of the film is section is a small box and is highlighted in bold to also make it stand out. Apart from this, there are not much colour or font styles used in the film magazine review. The fact that the film has not come out yet is important for the promotion of the film and the content of the review as people do not know what the film is about, it is integral that the review is up to scratch and is of high quality. The method used to rate the film is different form the Empire Film Review page. In this page, they use an interest curve. This is a graph that demonstrates which moments of a film are likely to hold the viewer's attention. The graph line is relatively high and starts off at ‘entertained and gradually rises to ‘thrilled’ at the end. This is a clever tool used by Total films because it makes their reviews unique and it lets the audience know what they will feel like when they watch certain parts of the film.  Next to this is a blue box which states that the reader will like this film if you have seen other films which are similar. Beside this is another box which shows the editors’ verdict and what they think of the film and underneath this, a star rating system is used and in this case, it is given four stars.


Sight and Sound Reviews: Disaster Movie           
This film magazine review page is quite different from the other two. Once again, one image is used in the right hand corner of the page. A memorable picture is used to allow the audience to know what the main genre of the film is which is comedy. Underneath the picture is a caption which says ‘New comedic nadir...’ and is says the main actors which star in the film in relation to the picture. The columns are also organised differently form the other two as there is only one, long column stating the actual review. This may be beneficial to the reader in a sense that they will not have much to read. The main column is in the middle and to the left of this is detailed information about the credits (producers, visual effects etc.) next to this is a column stating the whole cast of the film (the actual actor and the character they play in the film. To the right side of the main column is another four columns giving details about the credits (directors, music, etc.) this information may not be necessary for the reader and they will not want to read so much information about the ‘key hairstylist’ for example. The overall layout of the columns on the page is diversified and this may relate to the actual film itself and the fact that it is comedy; it is light hearted and is not taken seriously. At the foot of the page is a box stating the synopsis of the film and the box is coloured a different colour to make it stand out from the rest of the writing. The style and size of fonts used is very simple.  The title of the film is in bold black writing as this is probably the most important thing on the page. The caption underneath the picture is in red writing and so are the words ‘credits’ and ‘synopsis’.  On the page of the film, there is no rating system used. This may put off readers and potential viewers of the film as there is no judgement of the film in terms of stars or interest curve. Therefore, the reader is left to judge what they think about the film which could be beneficial as they are not influenced by any other opinions from other people.
