2. The title of the film. It is positioned at the top of the
page and is written in bold so we immediately know
the film that the review is about. Its bold font allows
us to see it clearly.
The tagline is a brief
description of what
happen in the film. It
is used to set up the
review and often the
tone is set in the
tagline. This tagline
seems more positive
than negative, which
is portrayed in the
review itself.
This is a second tagline. It compliments both
the first tagline and the article itself. It
references the review and gives us the authors
opinion of the film.
The final rating. This is usually a
rating out of 5 stars which is
preceded by a summery of the
review.
These are
some bonus
facts about
the film that
readers may
not have
known. This
is effective
as it
provides
more of a
depth to the
review.
The main image of the review. It portrays
a scene from the film and contained the
main characters. It takes up the majority
of the 2 pages to catch our eyes so we are
drawn to this particular review
3. The name of the film. The tagline that compliments this
invites us into the review due to its nature. From these
two things we gather that it is a gangster film which would
either put readers towards or away from the review due to
the genre of film that is being reviewed.
The main image from the film
itself. The guns tell us that this film
is a violent film as it’s a gangster
film, the caption sums up the film
in a sarcastic, comedic tone.
The verdict that
the reviewer has
decided. The one
sentence opinion is
followed by the
rating that the
reviewer has given.
The review itself. The review has a minor headline which
leads into the reviewer talking about the director and film.
The review has context, opinions of the director and their
own verdict with the tone they portray. In this case it’s quite
a neutral tone that is being given off which is complimented
by the rating at the end.
This section
before the
review tells us
details of the
film such as
the time, date,
director, plot
and some of
the cast. This
is useful as it
fills the reader
in on the
context of the
film before the
person reads
the review.
4. A witty caption for the main
image. This is effective as its
sarcastic tone is reflected in the
review and the rating that has
been given.
The main image of the review. The picture itself captures
Bond in a nutshell, women and guns. This picture itself is
used well as it gives us a brief insight into what the film I
about and the themes that are involved, in this case a love
interest and danger/violence is suggested.
A large, bold title to inform the
reader that they are in the review
section of the magazine. Its
placement at the top tells us this as
its large text and bold colours hit
our eyes.
The title of the film.
This along with the
smaller image are
placed on a hotspot
meaning they are
some of the first
things that we
notice. The smaller
image much like the
lager one depicts a
notable scene from
the film. As an high
action scene is
depicted, it almost
suggest that this is
the tone of the film,
which from
experience is a vital
part of Bond films.
The summery and important facts about
the film, and the rating. Their placement
a the bottom makes it one of the last
things we read. This is done so that we
can form our own judgement before
comparing it with the reviewer’s opinion.
The tagline of
the review. Its
sarcastic tone
suggest the
reviewer didn’t
enjoy the film
that much to
that of other
Bond films. It is
used ell as it
gives the
reviewers
opinion without
spoiling the
review and the
film.
