Critique of IB Oral Documentary

My Movie

The movie, I chose was "Unstoppable", and I reviewed my own work. I was clear and had a lot of information. It wasn't that organized, but you can understand it. I feel like I talked about the film as a whole, instead of the extract. I did a good job evaluating lighting, editing, sound, and cinematography. I didn't talk about the target audience. I covered all the material, but I might need a little more analyse of my evidence, so it could sound more valuable. Overall, I did a good job. The score I give myself is a 20 because I still feel that my film terminology is undeveloped. Also, I need to focus more on the extract than the film as a whole. I didn't give much meaning when I explained my extract.

Jennifer Lewis's Oral Presentation

 I reviewed the oral presentation named "Million Dollar Baby", and this presentation is made by Jennifer Lewis. She did a good job explaining the lighting. I liked how she said that dark lighting shows the character's persona and how the characters persona is hidden and still didn't express their personalities to the audience yet. This was a good comment because, she didn't just say that dark lighting means the character is sad, she went deeper. The comment about gender was good because in general, women are seen weak, but in this movie they seem powerful then men. There are a lot of closeups to express the character's feelings. She made a good comment when the character sticks the needle in the woman's body, the audience sees the heart meter go down. That symbolizes that she is dying. The editing shows the action than the reaction of the characters, which is a good point because it connects to the character's emotions. Overall, she did a good job explaining social, political, and economic factors. She should of talked more about cinematography, because she was above the surface. Good comment about how relationships impact our lives, and in this movie the character's relationships impact their live. She did a good job, and I give her an A. I give her the score of 21 she was very clear and she did a good job evaluating, but she didn't talk a lot about specific topics, like cinematography and sound. She also didn't say how the extract relates to the film as a whole.
