    Film Report Template

    HEADING
    Title
    (The title of your Report does not have to be the title of the film)

    FIRST PARAGRAPH: INTRODUCTION


    Write a short paragraph including the title of the film, the director, year of release, and top stars. Be sure to
    tell me when and where you watched the film and any special comments about it—i.e. was it based on a
    novel, based on true events, an abridged or colorized version, part of a series, etc.)

    SECOND PARAGRAPH: THE PLOT


    Write 8 – 10 sentences that give the gist of the plot and prove that you watched the entire movie.
    Remember, 8-10 sentences does not allow you to include all of the details of the film, so you need to
    condense the story line to its essential parts while at the same time proving that you watched it.

    THIRD PARAGRAPH: FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY


    Relate the film to the five themes of geography. For “Region,” you will probably have to research where
    the film took place and in what region it lies…. Remember, regions are ideas about places, ideas that can
    overlap; make sure that choose a region that is relevant to the film. In very few cases, there may be one
    theme that you cannot use. For example, if it is a make-believe place, it would be difficult to determine a
    region. If this occurs, make sure that you check with me. Also, if you conclude that one of the themes
    cannot be used, make sure you address and defend that point.
    (1) Location: Where is it?
    (2) Place: What is it like?
    (3) Region: What makes this area unique? How is it alike or different from other parts of the globe?
    (4) Movement: How do goods, people, or ideas move from place to place?
    (5) Human/Environment Interaction: How do people relate to the physical world?

    FORTH PARAGRAPH: THE REALITY


    Were the characters in the movie based on real people? Were the events depicted real? If so, were they
    depicted accurately? If several locations were used in the film were they depicted realistically? (Were
    there forests, mountains, rivers, etc. where they should have been for the real setting?) Were the houses,
    furnishings, foods, tools, weapons, clothes, hairstyles, shoes, streets, etc. shown with accuracy? Give some
    examples of things that you thought were particularly well or poorly represented.

    FIFTH PARAGRAPH: MORAL OF THE STORY


    In this section, I need you to really think about why the film was made. What’s the point that the
    filmmakers were trying to get across? In other words, what are some of the global ideas on which the
    creators of the movie premised, or based, the plot?

    SIXTH PARAGRAPH: EVALUATION
    Explain what you liked or did not like about the movie and why. Were the actors convincing, or
    inadequate? Were there places were the plot was too slow, confusing, too fast, unclear? Did the story
    build to a logical climax and resolve itself satisfactorially? Were you interested the entire time? Why or
    why not? If the film was made a long time ago, do you think that it would be made differently now? Why
    or why not? What would have made the film better? Here are some other suggestions to consider:
    Plot structure Cinematography Sound Lighting
    Special effects Acting Directing Editing
    Costumes

    FINAL PARAGRAPH: RECOMMENDATIONS


    This paragraph must include two things:
    (1) Would you recommend this film to another student? Why or why not?
    (2) Type the statement: “I watched 100% of this film in the last two weeks and wrote the
    report in myself, in my own words.” Then, sign it as an oath that you did.
