Review
While looking at other reviews over many different websites I found that depending on
the target audience of the film and the site it is on changes the layout greatly.
The review from Empire
magazine for Charlie St
Cloud is the closest to
our film target audience
and narrative style.
When looking at the
review we noticed that
the language used was
very specific and
obviously aimed at the
same teen audience,
using the main actor as
the hook
The layout of the review is very
important in this as it clearly shows all
of the sections of the review by titles.
This is something I have used in my
review as I feel it makes the review
more eye catching.
The image used in the
poster to advertise the film
is clearly an image of the
main actor Efron which
clearly marks him as the
focus of the review. We did
not do this properly when
we originally did the review
so we had to take another
picture separate to the
actual film (this is
something we learnt from
the feedback)
This review is from the independent website ‘Indiewire’ who have a
completely different target audience to our film as we aimed more
mainstream. The reason I looked at a indie review is because I
wanted to understand the layout for a less mainstream review to see
if there was anything I liked.
Although I did not like anything in this review because it used quotes
from other reviews with a very small amount of information. This is
not something I wanted and disregarded this review as inspiration.
This review is for a horror film aimed at teenagers, so the genre is
different but the audience is the same. I looked at this review
because I wanted to see the language used to convey to a
teenage target audience outside of the drama genre.
Whilst looking through this it became very clear that the language
that is used for a teenage audience is very informal and
personalised for that audience. This is something we took on
board when writing the review as it showed us how to write for
our audience and how to engage them in the film.
However I did find that this review had to much information
for a website as people move very quickly and to catch
someone eye it needs to be short and to the point, this is
something I learnt from Empire magazines ‘Charlie St Could’
review.
After creating the initial idea for the review it became very clear that the images I chose
to use did not work with the review style. This was then also reinforced with the teacher
feedback we got later.
This is the final review.
We changed the image we used because
nothing from the film worked.
We got this photograph by taking out main
actor and putting him against a white
background. This image worked better
than any of the others before as none of
them really reflected the film we used.
With the combined inspiration from both
independent and mainstream reviews it is
clear that we took most of the inspiration
from the ‘Empire magazine review’
You can see this through the obvious titles
which section the review and make it
obvious.
