Magazine Article Analysis- 'Survival'

This is a poster created by a former student of media studies at De Aston.

 

The article itself is in the same style as my first idea, with a quote in the centre. This poster also bears some similarity to my second idea in terms of layout (i.e. large image at the top with the text in the lower half of the page.) The font used is generic, perhaps Times New Roman or Arial. This adds professionalism to the review and also ensures that the review is easy to read. In terms of the layout itself , the review begins with a brief synopsis of the film, to give readers an idea of what the film is about, and then progresses to talk about technical elements (e.g. shot types) and the quality of the acting, finally summarising the review and giving it an appropriate score.

 

In my opinion, breaking the review into these sections is particulary effective as it makes the article easy and clear to read.
