In order to evaluate your skills as a writer, we require a 200-300 word article from you. This article must be completely original in its content, which means it has not been published in any form (this includes, but is not limited to, personal blogs and newspaper articles). 

We will evaluate your text by assessing the content, the structure of the text, the grammar, the spelling, formatting and style. This will all be checked against this briefing. 


Please follow the instructions below when composing your sarticle. Please note: if the instructions are not followed, the article will be rejected by the editorial team. 




Please read the instructions of this briefing carefully before you start writing. 

We require a short (200-300 words) review of a movie or play. It should encourage readers to watch the movie or play. You are free to decide which title to write about. 


Structure

Introduce your text with a headline. The headline should be the name of the movie. 

Next, summarise the film in a paragraph of no more than 120 words. This synopsis should not include spoilers, as you should assume that the reader has not seen the movie or play. 

Continue the article with a meaningful subtitle which encourages the reader to continue reading. In the second half of the article, write a paragraph dealing with a significant topic concerning the movie. This could be a specific performance, the music or a plot point. The actual topic is not important, but the complex and critical way in which you argue your points is essential. 

At the end of the article, add a call-to-action which encourages the reader to go see the movie or play. 


Format

• Use H1 tags and italics for the title.
