film review - empire

This is an extract from Empire magazine. I have done this as a screenshot to show the planning that has been done for the magazine review that I decided to do. This Magazine article is quite basic and simplistic due to it being a magazine which attracts readers that are more mainstream. This is different to sight and sound which attracts more of a film literate reader. I decided not to use this film magazine layout due to it being too simplistic and i found sight and sound having more detail which i found relevant for my film. Sight and Sound normally reviews independent films rather than Empire which reviews more mainstream films.

film review - total film

This extract is from total film magazine. total film is like empire magazine when it comes to the audience. The audience of total film do not take an educated approach to films and are more interested in blockbusters rather than the independent films. I decided not to take the approach of Total Film for the same reason as why i decided against using empire magazine format.
