Film Review production (stage 1-5)



When designing our film review page, I took inspiration from the layout used in Total Film magazine. In this screenshot I have used almost the same layout, in terms of the main image and title
placement as they have in many film reviews from their magazine.


Here i have added a section similar to total film where we have linked our short film to 5 other existing films with the same or similar genre to ours, to add more detail to the page.


In this updated version i have begun to incorporate our journalistic piece as well as other elements found on a conventional film review such as a pull quote, a film rating and details found on a magazine such as page numbers and magazine name in a small font underneath. (we decided on naming our magazine as 'Showreel')


 Here i have added the rest of the journalistic piece to complete the article as well as adding a smaller image still from out short film to help tie the page together. In the bottom right hand corner i have also added a red box where i decided to put details about the film regarding the cast, director, running time and certificate rating, however i decided against using a box to display this and instead decided on using a mix of bold and fine text.

In this version i added the details about the film regarding the cast, director, running time and certificate rating using a mix of bold and fine font, like the rest of the layout on this review i took inspiration from total film magazine.



In this final version i have added last pieces of details including the name of the magazine at the top of the page to bring the page together, as conventional film review pages do this and any other amends to the page such as lining all text with images and other paragraphs.
