Film review rebuttal Objective: to use current level of knowledge regarding film (production, marketing, distribution, editing, sound, cinematography, elements of miser-en-scene, narrative etc.) rebut or critique the opinion of a professionally prepared film with which you personally disagree. Rebuttal critique guidelines: the paper should be at least three full pages, excluding supporting material and citation pages. the paper should be written in an essay format- that is, an opening thesis paragraph clearly stating paper�s intent, points to be covered, and direction; followed by well-developed paragraphs on each concept to be covered; and ending with a clear summery and conclusion.

Not all the concepts listed need to be addressed separately, but you should chose those which appropriately pertain to the original review being critiqued. Conclude the rebuttal review with a clear statement as to why the film class peer audience must see the movie being reviewed and wh
