Titanic film review (1)-Shannika

  • The use of language throughout this review is non-colloquial and quite complex as it goes into detail using tecniqual terms. For example, "structural elements". By using formal language suggest the target audience for this review is for an adult audience or those who have a complex vocabulary.
  • The mode of address of this review is in second person using the second personal prononun 'you'. By doing this engages the reader and allows them to get involved in this review. Also using the word "you" helps communicate the review better as it brings a conversational tone to the review.
  • This review focuses on the narrative, the negative pre-judgement and how it actually turnt out. For the narrative it discusses how the story line is in terms of dialogue to convey the storyline and distaster. For example the dialogue in this film was seen of having "poor dialogue". Whereas for the disaster it compares it to another epic film. After the negativity right at the end it talks about what "a truley impressive feat of entertainment" the film is by the director.
  • It also talks about how critics had negative thoughts about the film before it actually came out which was in the begining of the review.

  1. Your review annotations are strong Shannika. You just need to put the three of them together.
