The document discusses the style and layout of film reviews on websites and in magazines. Reviews typically devote one page of concise but informative content to avoid boring readers. They feature a prominent image from the film along with key details like release date and director. Reviews are written in an informal, chatty tone to engage audiences. They provide context on the filmmakers' previous works and offer the publication's opinion on the movie. Magazines like Little White Lies additionally structure reviews with columns listing anticipation, enjoyment and reflection timelines.
2.
One page has been devoted to the review this
is the same for all the reviews on the website.
The fact that it is page shows that there is not
too much information that would bore the
audience it is quite concise and to the point.
It gets the important information across.
Then it is left up to the audience if they would
like to view the film.
3.
The fact that the reviews are seen as chapters
in magazines shows the move to the digital
age.
It makes it easier for people to enjoy what
they like reading on the go and when ever
they want as it can be accessed by the
internet.
It is giving the public something that they
already know like magazines but when ever
they want.
4.
The general style and layout remains the
same for most of the reviews. The only thing
that is different other than the information is
the picture depending on the different film.
5.
The magazine review page is very simplistic
in terms of layout its very straight forward
with the one main picture which is seen at the
top then the text follows underneath in
paragraphs.
6.
They always have the picture form the film on the top
with important information below it such the release
date, director and the stars. There are vertical columns
and rectangle picture with the first line of the review in
bold
Sometimes the picture is also in between the
texts to break it up.
7.
The colour scheme uses mainly neutral
colours such as white, grey and black. This is
quite good as it makes the images in the
review more striking and stand out more.
They have the date and the director in bright
colours so that they stand out for the
audience.
8. The font used for the title is IMPACT 16
The font used for the director and stars is
Rockwell Condensed 10
The font for the actual writing of the review is
Calibri 9
9.
They are mainly a few paragraphs made up of
a few lines
They start by talking about previous work
from the stars and directors, and then goes
on to the give the magazines opinion.
10.
The unique thing about Little White Lies
magazine is that it has like side column in
chronological order including anticipation,
enjoyment and retrospect, this also what the
Cop Out review has.
12.
It think its quite effective as it is very
different. The unique cover pages
automatically interest the reader.
The informal language also make it enjoyable
to read the review.
13.
The review highlights the identity of the
magazine as, it is quirky and chatty and
informal. Just like the magazine with the very
unique front covers.
14.
I personally think in terms of the layout, in a
magazine style will be quite easy to layout on
the page along with the rating system.
However I think the actual language of the
review will be a bit difficult as everyone has
their own style, therefore it may prove
difficult to stick to that.
