The document analyzes conventions used in film review magazine articles, such as including a large image from the film, the film title and information, and a rating and verdict. It notes consistency in color schemes and layouts that make the reviews easy to read. The document concludes that after analyzing existing products, it will follow conventions like using a large film image, title, director/cast information, and a rating in its own short film reviews.

6. After analysing some existing products I have decided
to follow some of the conventions that are apparent in
these, for example I will use:
• A large image taken from the film
• The title of the short film
• Information about the film i.e.
d i r e c t o r, c a s t , a n d t h e s u m m a r y
• The rating and verdict (with it being a review
this is essential)
