Having the layout of our review on a single conforms to the conventions of print media. Mostly layouts like our reviews are seen on the internet and require scrolling down – rather than magazines which also can be single paged however are mostly double paged. Below is an example of a similar layout to ours:
Due to the fact that our films twist is the most significant part of the film, we did not want the audience to be aware of this in any stage – whether that be the film poster or even the review – therefore we were not able to apply a big quote from the review (another review convention) as it would give away too much.
We mainly attract audiences through the high ratings and the big picture which are
seen at the very top. Having the name of the director and stars is another convention seen in reviews to which we conformed to. The use of soft eye appealing colours such as light blue, around the image of the 4 boys who seem quite diverse, is our main way of attracting our target audience who are male and female aged 12 – 40. This was the appropriate still for the review as it neither sells nor promotes the film as a comedy or a psychological drama.
Another review writing convention which we have conformed to is reviewing not only the film but the various factors which are within it such as: Acting, directing, cinematography, screenplay to the production team on a whole. Critisms were also evident despite the high ratings which would be the reason why it was one star down from five.
