Reading the same **vague and bland **movie reviews over and over again is a problem we’ve all encountered at some point, but getting students to write better reviews can be a difficult task. Writing a film review at a higher level requires students to know and use more advanced vocabulary for describing and evaluating movies. This means knowing how to describe the main elements of the movie, including the plot, characters, cinematography, music and visual effects, and understanding how to **express positive and negative opinions **about different elements of the movie. This 32-slide presentation helps students learn just that, without requiring any additional preparation by the teacher. The presentation includes** easy-to-understand definitions and realistic examples **that showcase how the given words and expressions are used in film reviews. The presentation focuses on words and expressions for: movie genres general film vocabulary types of movies types of characters describing the plot describing acting describing visual effects and music positive reviews negative reviews
