Film Unit Final Assignment: Job Application - Film Reviewer



The local newspaper, The Gazette, is looking to appeal to school-aged readers in your community. They are hiring a student writer to write film reviews that will engage this audience.



The Gazette's  new, young editor, Ms. Corinne Cousineau, will be reviewing the applications and selecting candidates to be interviewed.

To apply, you must prepare a cover letter and a sample film review that demonstrate an accurate analysis of the film, as well as your writing and research skills.



Remember, your goal is to persuade them to consider you for an interview by reading your cover letter and your sample film review. Use a respectful tone.

Review the second body paragraph in your cover letter. Ensure the highlights you mention still match up with your film review (given any changes you have made based on your teacher's feedback).

Re-read both your cover letter and sample film review at least one more time to proofread them.
