what is the difference(s) between film review and movie report?
Favorite Answer
Report is what the movie is about
A report is something else–usually assigned by a teacher. It’s content depends on what has been requested of you in the assignment. It will need a beginning (intro), middle (body) and end (conclusion) paragraph, but since one does book reports from first grade to college, there’s an enormous range of other elements which may or may not be expected. For example, a graduate level report would require an extensive bibliography and outside research, whereas a first grade book report should have no content other than what the student conceives.
It is perfectly true that there are reviews that come out like reports, reports that come out like reviews and some that could be either one. So to eliminate confusion, go to the source of who asked you to report (or review) and get a solid grasp of what they want. Reading alternative examples (of reports or reviews) also helps immeasurably.
