Research of Film Review Magazines

THE GUARDIAN FILM REVIEWS


The layout of the article consists of an image from a scene in the film Planetarium featuring the main character, Natalie Portman. This gives attention to the audience as Natalie Portman is a well known actress. She is even mentioned in the title, her name beginning then ending with compliments of her acting. The image is the main attraction with short paragraphs following underneath. The review is written in formal however, with simplicity. Its easy to read and understandable for any age group.

Sight & Sound has a very sophisticated layout with designed writing matching the issues theme, such as 'Crimson Peak' in this issue. The layout is simple with no quotations or side titles to attract but a simple list below on the specific topics the magazine will be touching on. The main image is of the directer, his name below, in black and white with a mention of his new film release in red below to establish who he is. However, this magazine does not take advantage of stars to try and attract audiences such as Empire Film Magazine.

EMPIRE FILM MAGAZINE

Empire magazine is definitely more eye catching as neon coloured thunder and headlines flash with the iconic Joker standing in front of the magazine title. This is an example of taking advantage of stars as the blockbuster movie,everyone recognises,takes the main role while other smaller production films are listed behind.
