Video Review Checklist

Make a checklist of some things to look for when watching the video:

• Storyline - Is it believable? 
  Did you find yourself lost in it as if you were there?

• Screenplay - Was the dialogue forced? Was it believable?

• Acting - Which actors/actresses stand out and which don't? 
  Why, in either case?

• Special effects - Are they realistic? 
  Do they blow you away, or are they only mildly effective?

• Music/Sounds- Was it overpowering/distracting? Did it evoke emotion? Was there any?

• Editing - Was the movie's pace slow? Was it over-edited? Was it done well?

Once you have made a few key notes, the review should be written as though you were talking directly to someone who would see the video. Talk to them, tell them what you thought, give them the details. Most importantly, keep it short, tight and specific.
