Film Review

In our lesson we analysed different film reviews to get ideas for our own. I have included this video above.

Throughout the A Level course and making the film noir, I have looked at many different film reviews for ideas and written my own. I wanted to create an effect like different magazines do, with a striking image and then the text next to it. I didn't want to include a lot of text but just give a short and to the point film review. I made my film review in Adobe photo shop CS5 and came up with different ideas.

This is my first film review I did. The actual review on each one is the same i just wanted to play around with the background and positioning. This first one is just Clark (James Bell) I like this one as I think it is simple and as this character isn't in the film poster it creates other ideas about the film and shows more. I like where the text is and I think it doesn't look to much to read. Also the image is the main focus.

This is my second review, again with the same text and font yet a different background. I like the background on this one as i think it shows the characters and what they are actually like in the film. Martha is looking down on Nancy and Nancy is giving all her attention to the camera. I like the positioning of the text, i think it works with the image and is an easy read. I included the one with inspiration from Empire magazine and think it works well on the page.

This is the last film review idea that i did. The photograph is of Clark (James Bell) and Nancy (Beth Robson) and shows that Nancy seems more into Clark by staring at him and he just isn't acting interested. I think this photograph works really well as it gives what would happen in the film away but just the right amount. I have also included the same set up of text yet this time with the one behind the text and changed the opacity so it wasn't so bold on the page.
