Content is also classified based on age groups to ensure it is suitable for its intended audience. The classifications range from U for all ages, to PG, 12A, 15 and 18, with increasing restrictions on violent, sexual, or discriminatory material the higher the rating.

Common elements of film reviews include the film's name and year, quotes, a plot summary, discussion of positive and negative aspects, and sometimes character analysis or an overall rating.

Each film review has four areas: a picture, critical review, credits, and short synopsis. The picture is usually a still frame or photo from the film. The review is written formally with references to other works, directors, genres, and awards. It explores the narrative, themes, and quality of directing and performances. The synopsis clearly outlines the beginning, middle, and end of the film's narrative in third person. The credits are organized into columns with titles in bold and names not bold and in a smaller font size.

Shot types
Mid shots show a person from the knees up and provide context of the scene, close-up shots frame a person's face or object in big detail, and long shots capture a whole scene or area with subjects appearing small in the frame.
Remember my dream'
The document discusses the use of non-diagetic voiceover in film. Voiceovers are used to give the audience context and provide information not seen or known by the characters on screen. They allow a narrator to reflect on past events or have more knowledge of the situation than what is shown, similar to a storyteller. This human voice can relate to or describe images on screen, or be used without images to continue informing the audience.
Short story
The documentary aims to raise awareness about eating disorders by exploring how they affect people's lives and the journey of recovery. It will include interviews with people who have experienced eating disorders to give personal accounts of how their disorder started and what helped them seek treatment. The filmmaker wants to show viewers that eating disorders are complex issues that involve more than just not eating. By gaining insight from medical professionals and those still recovering, the documentary seeks to help audiences better understand the realities of living with an eating disorder.
Uses and gratification theory
Uses and Gratification Theory focuses on why audiences use media rather than how media affects people. It suggests audiences use films for entertainment, social interaction, personal identity, and information. Producers aim to entertain viewers and provide what audiences want to maximize profits. For a film targeting 16-25 year olds, this theory recommends focusing on entertainment and education through relatable characters to engage the social audience.
Magazine review analysis
This document discusses different types of magazine reviews and their typical layout and styles. It notes that film reviews usually include large images from the film alongside a short quote and concise text. The target audience depends on the source and content - a review in The Times would be more formal than one in Very magazine. Documentary reviews tend to be serious in tone to match their subject matter.
Life and death of a pumpkin
This short film would appeal most to a younger audience due to its use of simple humor and irony. While the pumpkin character talks in a straightforward, posh voice about his emotions, some scenes involving knives and the concept of death may be inappropriate for very young viewers. The film could irritate or bore older audiences. It is set in three locations - a pumpkin patch representing the pumpkin's family, a kitchen where he is carved seen as a dissection table, and outside the home where he is smashed in an execution.
The piano
The piano music changes throughout the film to represent the old man's memories and emotions. As his deceased wife joins in his memory, other notes are added to show she is still with him. When he remembers the war, the tempo increases until it slows as his life comes full circle and his grandson joins him. The overarching themes are remembering and celebrating life, as well as the enduring nature of love and friendship.
Poster analysis
The poster uses realistic images and colors associated with nature to promote a documentary about global warming and its effects on polar bears. The main image is a polar bear to indicate the film's focus. At the bottom, the globe fades to black, suggesting the fate of Earth. Simple colors and a large font are used to catch viewers' eyes and advertise the film.
