2. Here is a film review of a film
titled “Gomorrah”. It is in a
magazine which was made in 2008
all about the greatest movies of
all time. The layout consists of an
image which is from the film which
takes up approximately half of the
page. This provides the film
audience with a sneak peak of a
scene that occurs in the film.
Gomorrah is a Action/Crime film and
this image reinforces that as you
can see a man on a moped shooting
another man. Below the image you
can see information about the film,
the center consists of the main
review but more towards the
bottom of the page it has some
other important information about
the film that the film audiences
would want to know.

3. “Over 14,000 reviews on Empireonline.com”
This information suggests to film audiences that this film is popular and
people have taken the time out to write a review about it because they
enjoyed it. Since there are so many reviews on the film, it also tells us that it
is reliable. The information provided in the review can be trusted. Whereas if
it was a film with not many reviews, the facts could be false and made up as
one off.

4. The review has a small text box named
“Look Closer” which gives some even
more detailed information not only
about the actual film but about
actors/characters and other facts
about relations to the film.

5. Before the in depth review, audiences
can see the main release information.
This is helpful because the audiences
may not want to read the whole thing or
not have the time to so this small box
gives the main information about the
film as a whole. It gives the age rating
to inform the audience about the
appropriateness of the film. Directors,
cast, and screenwriters are also given so
the audience can identify some names
they already know which will bring an
interest to them. The run time is given
to simply let the audience know how
long the film is and then the plot is
given to tell the audience all about the
storyline and what goes on.

6. At the bottom of the
page, a verdict is
given. This is like a
final result and rating
for the film as a
whole.
A start system is simple
but tells the audience
a lot about what
people thought of the
film. 1 star being very
poor and 5 being very
good. So if a film was
often rated 1 star, that
tells the film audience
that this film is
rubbish.
