Ancillary Text 2: 3 Film Magazine Reviews

For the second part of my Anscilary texts I had to create a film review for my short film. To be able to do this I fist of all had to look at a variety of reviews on current films out at the moment.

The First review: Total Film: Shutter Island




The Second Review: Total Film: Jenifers Body








Third Review: Empire Online: Thor







Overall I have found that there is a difference between magazine and online film reviews, mainly in page layout where mostly online they use a portrait layout and in magazines they use landsape, but also the reviews are slightly different in themselves where they didn't go into as ,uch detail in the magazine reviews as they did on the online review, this was actually supprising as the magazine readers had to pay to read the magazine and the article was free online on the Empire website. I want to change this in my magazine review as I want to give my readers the in-depth information about my short film and the idea and actors behind it. One thing I deffinately do want to use is a rating system and a variety of images as I feel that this is what these reviews lacked and can uninterest the audience if all they see is articles with words.
