2. This is a half page spread of a magazine review.
3. The title of the page from the magazine is clearly
labelled so the audience are aware of which section they
are reading within the magazine.
4. In the same colour font to keep the professional effect is
the name of the film. It is in capitals to make it eye
catching and makes it clear to the audience that it is the
title of the film. This is important as then it will be more
rememberable if the audience do decide to go watch the
film
5. A caption is positioned under the title in an italic text to
inform the audience that it is a caption and not an
important feature to the film. However the advantage of
it rhyming makes the review more humorous and helps
to represent the genre of the film which is comedy.
6. The film details carries on the previous fonts that have
already been used to upkeep the professional profile of
the magazine. Including the following information of;
when the film was released, the age certificate, the
director, the cast and the running time is important
information that the target audience may be interested
in. The plot is also included in the film details section
gives the audience that extra bit more information about
the narrative so that they are more knowledgeable
about it when reading the review.
7. Because the review is only half a page the font of the
body text is quite small, however due to it being an aged
15 film it is suitable for the target audience as the layout
of the magazine review looks professional and mature.
The body text has very negative language, as the author
clearly did not enjoy watching the film. The author uses a
lot of rhetorical questions to engage the audience, this
creates the review to be more personal and shows that
the author has thought of all aspects if he is having to
question the film.
8. The verdict is found at the end of the body text. Like
from the verdict from the Spiderman 2 review it is being
compared to another film. However in this case it is
being compared too in a negative way.
9. The star rating underneath the verdict justify the
thoughts and feelings that the author declares in the
review. Rating it 2 stars does not look very good
advertisement for the film.
10. The main image is still on the larger scale considering it is
in a half page layout. The image is of a still shot from the
film and is of the two main protagonists. It is a clear shot
of the main stars that play the characters which is
another strong element that audiences rely on when
watching a film. This is an effective way to catch the
audience attention.
