Rodger Deakins is amazing. The

between 15-35.

Also the magazine uses another sell
line which reads "COMIC-BOOK

audience in because even if they do
not what Blade runner is they may be
still enticed to buy it for a different
reason such as that.

8. Purpose and genre
• The purpose of film review magazines differ greatly to that of a film poster.
Some of the main features of which differs the two apart is that for a film
poster the audience are gathering basic information from the poster. The
poster will usually have a positive attitude to the film in the hopes of trying
to get audiences to go and watch the film. In the case of the film "Ted"
there are constantly reviews at the top with ratings four and up from
companies such as Empire or The Guardian. All this make the film poster
slightly biased with films constantly praising the film. Whereas in reality it
might not be that good or a piece of the review might be taken and put on
the poster and the word which is used helps to make the film better.
Audiences are more likely going to be intrigued to watch the film because
of the reviews on the poster where they might think if companies such as
Empire are rating it good it must be good. Therefore, being more inclined
to watch it.
