Magazine Review Page Research

Ok so to try and create the best magazine review possible

I researched both Magazine film reviews and Film articles

for my research I used the December 2009 and January

2010 issues of Total film magazine.

Avatar!

Full double page picture

A large and clear title including the title of the film and a small synopsis of what the article includes.

Not a great amount of text on the first page

No text over main image

Lots of screen shots

Quotes in larger different coloured text

Pictures are square and cut around (variety)

Borders on pictures to separate them clearly

No bigger than A4

Text large enough to read clearly but not to big

Clear distinct writing i.e. simple font clear columns, spaced out.

2012!Once again a full two page spread and image

Title incorporated into image and story

Not too much textLarge letter at the start of the paragraph

Pictures of various sizes and of various scenes

Quotes from actors/ directors in colours boxes to make them much clearer

Pictures of all different sizes

Border to make pictures to clear. Pictures tend to be grouped together. Headings

for each paragraph

A large part of the 2 page spread is made up of images

Magazine ReviewsAt least 3 films reviewed per page.

More highly anticipated films get longer reviews

At least one image per movie review

Every review includes- Date of release, star rating, image, basic over view of plot, title of film and who it stars and of course a review.

One full page for one single film

Other smaller articles on the second page

Small comments explaining what is happening in the corner of each picture

Cast and crew lists at the end of each review

If you liked ...........You will like this film. This seems to be popular

Bold titles for every review
