AT1: Self-evaluation - Film Review Page

In order to complete it, I have researched various film review pages to assure that my film review page meets the correct needs and conventions of a film review poster. I wanted to make sure that my film review page looked authentic as possible because I wanted to present my film in a good light.

I decided to use the typical film review page double page spread. This is because with two pages, you are able to include a lot of information about the film on them such as basic plot summaries and exclusive photos. These are all techniques which catch the audience's eye and will make them want to read and look at the page. I have used a whole page for photos because if the audience are reading the plot, they will most probably be interested about who the characters are whereas if there weren't any photos and just writing, then the page may not look as interesting or eye catching.

Not only do film review pages tell the audience a lot about the film but they are a good way to advertise a film. This is because on a poster you only see a picture from the film and the film name. On a trailer, you see various clips of the film but the basic storyline can sometimes be hard to grasp. On a film review page, you get a clear list of the main actors who star in the film, a basic plot without giving away any spoilers, photographs from the film, the age restrictions and the five star ratings. These detailed bits of information about the film makes people instantly know whether the film is for them or not.
