'Burning Inside' - Brutal as Hell


This article is considerably longer than the first, therefore we can expect it to be much more a detailed and in depth review.

   It begins with the title at the top, followed by the poster of the film and below that, the main information about the production of it including the studio it was made in, the Director, the main cast members and the name of the man reviewing the film.

    This is a fairly good introduction as you are aware of the style by the poster and of the main information from the beginning however if you had not seen the film before, you may feel lost as to what the film is about. This article could be improved by having a short introduction to allow the reader to get a feel for what type of film this long article is describing, before reading it. It does go into more detail later on as describes many different aspects of the film and also relates it to other films, " a lot of natural comparison to David Lynch's Eraserhead" which shows he has well analyzed the film and understands the different sides to film.
  However Patterson seems the write the article in first person which may be a little of putting for some people as it may be portrayed as a more subjective review as opposed to an objective one, which is more appropriate for a public article. There are also screenshots throughout the article bringing together the text and film.

• Don't write it in the first person
• Show the poster at the beginning 
• Use screenshots of the film clips throughout
