This is a review on the computer game called Skyrim.
The review has gameplay playing in the background so that the audience can hear
what the game is about, the person reviewing the game compares the game to an
older version of the game on PlayStation 3 and the new version which was on the
PlayStation 4. the reviewer also compares and old review of his when he rated the
game before and shows how the game has been adapted and how the game has
changed, the reviewer talks about the graphics of the new version which is good for
the listener as they want to hear how the game has been improved and that it is not
just the same as the old versions. The reviewers uses the effect of an over voice on the
review and uses the game as background sounds, this helps to make the review less
tedious as if he was just talking with no sounds it would make the review boring and it
helps the review flow as it the sounds are not stopping and starting all the time there
is always something to listen to which allows the speaker to take breaks and gives the
listener something different listen to. The review would make the listeners want to
buy the game as they would want to see the improvements and the new content in
the game.

Film review; Arrival
The person reviewing the film has an upbeat tone to his voice which would keep the
audience entertained and not find the review tedious. The review has sound effects
such as a crowd cheering when he gave the film a final rating. There is no background
music as the reviewer is able to talk all the time giving good amounts of information
on the film. The reviewer is quite informal when speaking, this may be to bring in
younger viewers as younger viewers will not enjoy the review if the reviewer talks with
a formal tone and use normal words. If the viewer hasn’t seen the film before they
would be able to get a good amount of information as the film is not a normal alien
film, the film talks about how the humans react to the aliens and which countries
handle the situation as the Americans try communicate with the aliens and the
Chinese try to destroy the aliens, which is why the reviewer stress’s to the listeners.
The voice over is very clear and well spoken so that the listeners understand what he
is saying easily and get the full amount of information possible out of the review
making the review a success.

Game review; for honor beta
The for honor review has the sound of the game playing in the background which
gives the listener something to listen to if the reviewer takes a break, this is so the
review is not stopping and starting all the time which wouldn’t make the review a
success. The speaker has a low voice and speaks clearly and slowly so that the
listeners can understand and take in the information which would make the review
good as people will get a lot of knowledge. The speaker uses quite formal words to
describe the game as it is serious review people will be able to take the information
serious.
