Film Review 3 - Case Study

Having looked at this poster, I like the layout as it is simple and straight to the point. I have read the journalism and it does not bore me. I think that it creates questions in the readers mind from the start and then lets you in to the way that it was creating, using quotes from the makers of the film. I think that in order for a film review to be successful, we should add this into our review. I think that by using quotes directly from us, the people who came up with the story, will make the journalism stronger. I will incorporate this into my own work. The journalism is snappy and straight to the point. In order for our film review to flow it needs to follow similar codes and conventions. 

A feature that I will take from this review to add into my own work is the page numbering where beside that is the magazines website. This also keeps the review professional and is a promotional method. Whilst reading the review when turning the page the reader will automatically see the website and may want to go on it for further information. 

Film Review 2 - Case Study

Case Study 2 - Sightseers  |Create infographics

What I have gathered from this case study is that the journalism can become quite confusing. There are many references in this case study to different films which is a good feature to have and I will be adding this into my own review, but at times this film review becomes quite confusing. It is full of  remarks made by the viewer which is what is expected but personally I think that too many remarks can make the review harder to understand and also harder to understand what is going on in the film and what it is about. 

The elements that I could use in my own work is the splashes that are used on the review where a key feature is highlighted. For example, on this review you can see that the splash used to highlight 'we could have it in the gift shop' is in a black circle. Also on the review there is another shape on the left hand sand top corner that says 'review'. In order to stay within the professional feel and the realer look, by having this in my film review will make the reviews overall appearance look better. 

Film Review 1 - Case Study

Having looked at this case study, I have been inspired by a few of the features used and I would like to use them in my own work. 

I like that the heading of the review is bold and it is overlaid upon the picture. I think that this makes both the picture and the heading stand out. As our short film is a drama, this fits in well with the overall theme. 

I also like the colours that have been used. Once again, as it is a drama the colours cannot be too overpowering. It would be better for us to stick to darker colours and maybe one colour that is a little stronger. In the poster above you can see that the colours used are white, blue and black. The background is also white.For our film review, I believe that in order for it to stay professional, the background should remain white. We should also keep the writing black and add colour elsewhere such as the star rating and the image should also be in colour. 

I also think that the first information box giving further details about the film is useful and makes it look like a real film review. I will definitely incorporate this into my film review.
