To find out what a magazine review includes I decided to look at a handful and find out what the most common conventions are! Here I have made notes on three film reviews. Two I scanned in from paper and one I made on Microsoft Publisher using a review from a website. I looked in 'Empire' Magazine because that is the most popular and well known film magazine in the UK, this is where I found the 'Dick and Jane' and 'Lust, Caution' reviews. The review for the short film was found online, I think this one looks amateur because It does not have a logo, the font isn't very proffessional and the red colour is not rich enough. It looks very simply made. Nevertheless the content I found was very much the same as the two from the magazine, they all shared the same attributes. Through observing these It has made it alot easier for me to write my review because I now know what to include and what to talk about. I will be making a 5 minute short film, a poster and an article for my media A2 Coursework. This blog will be constantly updated to show my progress!
