The AV Forums DVD reviews are expanding in size and content so we are currently looking for new reviewers to join the team. This is unpaid but rewarding work where you will be given the chance to write for Europe’s largest AV related forum and our new online DVD magazine AV Play. So what are we looking for?
- We are looking for dedicated individuals who can spare a few hours each week to watch and review DVD’s sent to them. Usually there will be around 4 or 5 a month.
- We are looking for someone who can write to the current standard featured in our reviews, who can check their own work for spelling and grammar and who have access to a PC (with word), a DVD Rom drive and software to create screen captures.
- We are looking for someone who will work hard and be reliable for hitting deadlines set. All review discs sent will be kept by the reviewer. There is no monetary payment for this work. Applicants must be 18 or over.
- We are looking for someone who has a full home cinema system with at least a 32” display and a minimum of Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 sound.
- We are looking for someone who has a good knowledge of the DVD format and potential problems which may exist in transfers and sound. They must also be interested in new formats such as HD DVD and Blue Ray. They must be able to pick up on problems such as edge enhancement, macro blocking and be able to discuss what makes a transfer look good or bad.
- We also require reviewers to have a good working knowledge of cinema and feature films, someone who can comment through experience with all types of genres.
- Review discs will vary from the biggest blockbusters to the more obscure art house titles and a reviewer should be able to feature both within their remit. We expect reviewers to cover all the different releases from Blockbusters, TV series and the occasional Golden Oldie.
