A little powerpoint that I constructed for my media blog about the essentials for a good film review article

1. Essentials For a Review Page
By Jackson Davis

2. The Film Title
• It sounds daft, but we can’t forget it
• If you mention it a lot too, people will remember the film name. This
can help with marketing and so on.

3. Keep the review even sided
• We are obviously the ones writing this review
• We are aware of the faults. It’s a low budget film, not everything will
be perfect
• If the entire article is single-sided it will make it boring and seem like
we think our film is perfect

4. Images
• The review is going to be written
• However, we need to give the audience something to look at
• Adding images (e.g. Behind the Scenes, Film Stills etc.) can really
help to make the layout look more interesting

5. Layout
• We want the article to be easy to read
• Size 26 font and centre text alignment won’t do the trick
• A nice small, but easy to read font size and justified text will help to
make the article more aesthetically pleasing
• Sorting into columns is the traditional layout, this can help to break
up text too, especially when adding images in

6. Coordination
• I love coordination
• Since we are making the review page as well as the Film and Poster,
we might as well take advantage of the fact that we have full control
• Sticking to the same typefaces (or at least similar), using the same
colour schemes and using relevant images can really help to keep
things looking how they should

7. Conclusion
• That is just a couple of things that I feel are important for this part
of the production
• David is taking care of the film review page, I’m sure he will focus on
these point when creating the piece
